What a year, what a year, everything you're having.
I mean, there's so much to talk about.
Congrats on everything, and thanks for being here.
Thank you.
Um... Uh... Cardi B. Where did that name come from?
My name come from, you know what?
My sister name is Hennessy.
You know what I'm saying?
My sister name is Hennessy, right?
So everybody used to call me Bacardi.
So I always call myself Bacardi, right?
And then it was my Instagram name, like Bacardi, Bacardi D, But for some reason my Instagram keep getting deleted and I think it was Bacardi.
That has something to do with it.
So I just shortened it to Cardi B. So Cardi B is the jam, and I love that.
Mm-hmm.
Well, now everyone's calling her name now, Val.
Yeah.
You are from the Bronx?
Mm-hmm.
Are you?
Sorry.
Are you, are you from, are you going home for the holidays?
Yep, oh yeah, yes.
You are, yeah.
I follow you on Twitter I think it's IamCardiB and you said that you're not getting any adults gifts this year for Christmas.
No, because you wanna know something?
Everybody that I know got kids and this is like that's just a lot of kids.
And I got new godkids out of nowhere.
You know, once you start making money, everybody wants you to be their kid's godmother.
It's like...
Grammy Awards, January 28th, here in New York City, your hometown.
Are you nervous?
I am nervous.
You want to know something?
You want to know something?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
I already feel like a winner.
Yeah, you already are a winner.
You know what I'm saying?
Because this is like, I never thought me.
You already are.
Yeah, like, I already won.
What's good?
You did.
I mean, you've been on our show a few times, but Bodak Yellow was the first number-one single from a female rapper since 1998.
So, already, you just changed the game.
It went three times platinum.
Everybody was singing that song.
Everybody was doing it.
Girls, women, men, grandmas.
Everybody's singing Bodak Yellen.
Yeah, I see.
I'm so proud of myself.
It's got to feel good, though, right?
It does feel good, and it feels good because, you know, I really worked my ass off for it.
And it's just like, ah, it finally pays off.
I have been proven.
Right?
Oh, please.
You got more to come.
There's more to come with you.
But you're also making some history.
You're the first female hip-hop artist.
I want to get this right with your first three singles in the top ten at the same time.
Cardi B!
I mean...
I heard that, and I was like, you know, and... I totally was.
I totally was.
I didn't think I was going to be, but I was like, you know, and I just did it, yeah.
You have a new track coming out Friday.
Yes.
All right, this is good, and this is...
This is...Bartier Cardi.
Bartier Cardi.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, I named it Bartier Cardi.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I don't want Cartier to sue me.
Featuring 21 Savage.
Okay.
Eww.
Y'all go get that.
No, we're gonna get it.
Barty A. Carty, I can't tell you how much we love you and they love you.
I mean, come on.
Yo, Carty B!
Here they are!
Jimmy Fallon and Carty B!
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tonight Show.
Cardi B is my co-host tonight.
When I said, Cardi, would you like to co-host the Tonight Show, she said, okay.
Yeah, all right.
It is so great to have you here.
I'm so excited to see you that I might go into labor.
I really am.
I might go into labor, too.
I'm making history tonight.
You know what I'm saying?
My album just dropped, but I'm the first late-night co-host that isn't a white guy.
What's up?
That's... That's correct.
You are promoting your new album Invasion of Privacy or, as Facebook users are calling it, a little too close to home.
I really want to say congrats, though.
You just officially announced that you are pregnant, so that is a...
Backstage, Cardi was doing some breathing exercises and it sounded like the bird section of a PetSmart.
And it was...
Actually, I heard that President Trump is a big fan of yours, and he wanted to send you a message.
So now, here's a special delivery from the White House.
Take a look at this.
-♪ He gon' kill me.
I don't gotta dance.
I make money move.
If I see you and I don't speak, that means I don't with you.
I'm a boss.
You're a worker.
I make bloody moves.
Oh, fantastic.
He didn't have to do that.
He's a fan.
Do you want to get down with the culture?
Now I saw that a picture of President Trump wearing his coat went viral this weekend because it was a little tight on him.
Look at this photo right here.
See that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which means it's time for a new segment we call, What Is Up With That Coat?
I'll start it off.
Okay, here we go.
What is up with that coat?
It makes him look like two kids sitting on each other trying to buy beer.
What is up with that coat?
It looked like me when I was trying to hide my paper.
What is up with that coat?
It looks like he's trying to sneak a rotisserie chicken into the movie theater.
What is up with that coat?
I didn't know Spanx made jackets.
He didn't know Spanx made jackets?
What is up with that coat?
It looks like his plan for the border wall is him.
Oh, my goodness.
Last one.
Cardi.
What is up with that coat?
It looks like they put a button on the wrong side.
What is up with that coat?
Finally Cardi, in honor of you becoming a mom, we wanted to do something fun, so we sent our writer Joe down to the 30 Rock Plaza to ask moms and their kids what they know about Cardi B.
But here's the catch.
No, that's not true.
But here's the catch.
We didn't ask the kids.
We asked only the moms.
And you have not seen this yet, but it's good.
The kids were not allowed to even help.

Hey, everybody.
How you guys doing?
My name is Jimmy Balin, and I'll be joining y'all tonight.
Yeah, well, here we go.
He's the shortest stool we have backstage.
We have a great show tonight.
He is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend with musical guest Jack White.
He has a new stand-up special coming out on Netflix called Kid Gorgeous at Radio City.
John Mulaney is here!
Of course.
Of course, she just released her brand-new album, Invasion of Privacy.
Everybody is talking about it.
She's my co-host for the evening.
Give it up for Cardi B!
I love it.

It's me again.
It's you again.
I know.
The whole show is going to be you.
I'm so excited.
Congratulations on everything.
The record is unbelievable.
I love it.
You hosted Saren Live this weekend, and now you're here and you're pregnant, which is the best news of all news.
Congratulations.
How are you doing it?
How are you doing at all?
How are you even doing?
How are you functioning?
You know what?
I don't know if it's the strength of the fetus... ...but I have never felt so hungry to succeed.
Yes!
Is that right?
That's great.
I had a great weekend.
Last night, I saw my pal Tina Fey open up a Broadway musical, The Musical.
It was great.
It was awesome.
Did you know that was coming out?
No, but I saw, like, a whole bunch of ruckus in the streets of New York City.
Everybody was just out.
And it was like, what is this about?
Yeah.
Ooh.
Was it good?
It was fantastic.
It was great.
And I'm so happy for Tina.
Tina Fey, she's super funny.
She is funny.
She wrote all this play, and her husband, Jeff Richman, wrote the music.
And I've known them for a long time.
I think it was, like, 20 years ago.
I was over at their apartment and we had a party and Jeff was playing the piano and singing all Broadway music.
And now he's part of the songbook.
So I'm so psyched for those guys.
Aren't they good?
They're New Yorkers.
It's just an awesome thing to be on a play button.
It's a fun show.
It's funny.
It's got a good message.
I dug it.
It was awesome.
Did you do anything besides Saturday Night Live?
I know you were great on Saturday Night Live, but, I mean, you probably need rest.
Did you just sleep?
Nope, I rehearsed for this show.
I actually was up today at 4 in the morning.
I was doing a radio run, tomorrow a radio run, another show, another party.
I'm doing it all until I give birth.
You're doing this, I mean, do you have, are you still touring?
No, you're not.
I'm doing the Bruno Mars tours.
Okay.
I'm taking my baby with me.
Come on.
Yeah, happy baby's here tonight, too.
I also have two co-hosts.
This is great.
Cardi, everyone can agree that you have one of the greatest voices, and we thought there's no better way to hear someone's voice than on a voicemail greeting.
So since we have so many Cardi B fans here in the audience, we thought you could record a random...
A random audience member's voicemail greeting right now.
Let's pick someone out of the audience.
Who wants Cardi B to record their voicemail?
Look at that.
Oh.
Oh, pink.
Pink sweatshirt.
Standing up.
Yeah, pink.
Yeah, come down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go, go, go.
Come on down.
Come on down.
Go, go, go.
Yeah, absolutely.
Pink sweatshirt.
Come around.
Sit there, please.
Marty, you can have a seat over here.
You look like Drake.
Please let me get a microphone.
I'm going to get a microphone for you.
Here you go.
This is for you.
I know you have no microphone.
Hello.
Welcome.
Hi.
What is your name?
Angel.
Angel?
Very nice.
Are you Puerto Rican?
Yeah.
From the Bronx.
You know what I'm saying?
From the Bronx.
I know, like, 10 Puerto Rican angels.
Yeah.
I'm on the con.
You're a big Cardi B fan, obviously.
How big of a fan are you?
A huge fan since she was in Love & Hip Hop, and she was doing her mixtapes, and this girl has done it all, and she deserves everything she gets.
Like, she's amazing.
She's very inspiring.
Very inspiring.
Love her.
Angel, you're from the Bronx?
Yeah.
Hey, all right.

Why you ain't got no Dunkin' Donuts in my dressing room?
I know, I'm sorry.
Wait, we can call somebody.
Hello, ain't no... Dunkin', I love it, man.
What do you like to do for fun?
Dance, sing, rap, everything.
Really?
I was going to say the same thing, but... ended up not doing it.
What is your go-to excuse for when you can't pick up your phone?
I'm doing something crazy.
Something crazy.
All right, here we go.
Do you have your phone with you?
And do you turn it on?
I know everyone's phones are off, but some people's phones are on.
All right, I can do it.
All right, here we go.
Ooh, hey, this is a nice iPhone.
Ooh, la la sa song.
Okay, you go to greeting.
You go to custom.
And then you go to record.
All right.
This is Angel from the Bronx, manager at Dunkin'.
He likes to dance and rap and And then his go-to is when he can't pick up the phone.
He's doing something crazy.
All right?
Ready?
So I'll count to three, and then we'll record his voicemail.
One.
Do you want to do it?
Hello, everybody.
It's your girl Cardi B and me and Andrew are doing And leave your name after the beep.
Leave your name at the end of the beep.
Wait.
We're going to be around Thursday, Thursday, so you can make sure you go to the precinct over there.
We're going to make sure it's a bathtub.
All right, good.
Perfect.
There you go.
That is your voice.
Unbelievable, man.
Congratulations to Angel right there.
Cardi B is now the official voice.
The voicemail greetings.
Invasion of Privacy dropped Friday, and thank you for being here tonight.
First of all, I love the cover of the record.
Did you know that this was gonna be the cover when you shot it?
No, not really.
You know, we did different looks.
I didn't even know this was going to be a look.
The outfit that we have for this hair, it just wasn't fitting me anymore.
Oh, because the baby?
Yes.
By the way, I want to say the reveal of you being your beautiful baby bump was so awesomely done on Saturday Night Live and classy and kind of it was just beautiful because you were just, you were rapping and just with the microphone and the beautiful white dress and as the camera came out and just revealed your baby bump, I was like what?
Did you plan that out?
Did you know that you were going to reveal?
Yeah, I was like, you know what?
I kind of, I never really wanted to reveal that I had a baby.
I just wanted to hide it to the end.
I could have gotten away with it for the meddling paparazzi.
Meddling paparazzi.
Meddling paparazzi, yeah.
You were going to hide it or you were going to just, like, have your own private thing?
Yeah, because you know, I was just scared of what people would think and say.
I was just freaking out, but I just couldn't.
And it's like, well, why not?
Why not present it in a beautiful, clean way?
And then Saturday Night Live, it's just, why not?
It was beautiful.
It was great.
And you did that and I know I just asked you.
But you went there and then you the show ends at like two well, I mean one in the morning, but then you did, you go home right after that.
Yes.
You did, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Now, this record is certified gold already.
I knew it was going to be good.
I knew it was going to be good.
I called it.
I want to take credit for it, even though it had nothing to do with it.
But on the album, you have a reference to Chrissy Teigen and Rihanna?
Yes.
Yeah.
And it said, it said, I need, at Chrissy Teigen, know a bad bitch when I see one.
Tell Riri I need a threesome.
And, yeah.
And Chrissy Teigen tweeted out, gasp drops biscuits.
That went viral.
That was pretty fun right there.
-"Jump your panties."
Now Cardi you, I want to, for people at home that are getting to know you.
I know you have this.
You have very awesome ways of expressing yourself through different sound effects.
And I think it's good to know what they are and what they mean, so that everyone here in the audience and everyone at home and everyone around the world can talk to you and, you know, really express back to you.
So I was wondering if you could help us out with that and just go through three of the words or sounds or things that you're famous for and just explain it to all of us, please.
Do you mind?
Sure.
This first one is... Oh.
You know, that's, like, almost like a... like a sad cat sound.
Like a cat that's going through pain.
Meow.
Meow.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Meow.
Now, yeah, it's almost like a plane landing.
And what situation would you be in for that to come out?
Oh, you know, like, when they tell you a good news, but it's good, but it's not exciting.
Like, it's like, oh, I have a new job.
Uh...
You guys ready to try it?
Three, two, one.
Okay, this is good.
Now, the second one is same spelling.
This is eow, but it's higher.
No, no, no, no.
Ow!
What is that one?
You know, like, it's like...
When you push... Now, how would I use this in a situation?
Well, you know, it's just like, oh, my God, I'm hosting the Jimmy Fallon show.
Roots, you want to try... Three, two, one.
Pretty good, actually.
Alright.
For this last one, I think I know what this one's going to be.
This one is... Someone knows it.
Someone's doing it.
Now, this is... Yeah.
You know, it's like a cold pigeon in New York City.
Okurr.
Okurr.
Okurr.
Okurr.
OK, so now there's three different variations of okurr?
Yes.
And what would, like, What would that mean?
It's just like, you know, like, it depends on the situation that you're in.
Mm-hmm.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if somebody checks somebody... Oh, yeah.
It's like... I know she had all of that in her... Oh, I see.
It's like, someone's like, okay, but it's... Oh, yeah, okay.
But okay is play out.
Okay.
And then... We've done that already.
We've done that already.
Why do okay?
You might as well go... Yeah, okay, good.
All right.
Now we all learn.
Thank you, Cardi B. This is fantastic.
Now we know.
I love everything you do.
And you're gonna be a mom soon.
And this is so cool and exciting.
No spoilers.
It's the greatest.
I'm not a mom, but I have babies, and it's great.
But I figured I'd give you some.
You've been reading a lot of books, so I got you some books here.
This one, I wrote this one.
Your baby's first word will be dada.
And that is... I don't... I just give this to my fiancé.
Okay, okay.
Then how about Everything is Mama?
You like that one?
-"That's what I want."
-"You like that?"
-"Meh-meh."
-"Yeah."
-"Meh-meh."
-"Yeah."
Or you could do this one, which I had nothing to do with writing, but this one's called, uh...
And I was just, do you know this one?
I think what you should do is maybe, would you like to maybe read a few excerpts from this book?
Maybe just give it a little practice.
Just a little practice here.
James, can I get some, like, nice mood-setting music?
Like, baby, nighttime.
Oh.
Oh.
You know what?
Wow, this could be any lighting change here.
This would be... Okay, I'm getting nervous now.
I'm getting close to the... You are?
I'm getting close to the D. Oh, my God.
Oh, man, I'm gonna be a mom.
Okay.
All right.
The cats nestled close to their kittens.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You are cozy and warm in your bed.
My dear, please go the to sleep.
Is that a present for me?
I am so excited to be on right now, by the way.
I have to say that.
This is the coolest thing in the world to be a part of.
Exactly.
This is not for you.
I'm sorry.
I'm very happy to be here, Jimmy, but this is a baby gift for you.
For me already?
Nobody has even gotten me anything.
Then I must be the best person you know.
This is from my wife and I.
We didn't know if it was a boy or girl obviously, so this should work for both.
But it is a cardigan, or as I call it, a Cardi G. Okay.
It's so cute!
Oh, my God.
This feels weird.
It feels weird.
It does feel weird?
What, like flammable or something?
What's wrong?
No, no, no.
I mean, I think she means in general.
Oh, I thought you meant the material.
Oh, my babies are so little.
I know.
It's such a little Cardi G. Have you guys met before, John, Cardi?
No, we haven't.
No.
You look British.
I look British?
Yeah.
I think thank you.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah.
They're pretty popular, right?
Oh, yeah, British people, of course.
They play Americans in movies and stuff.
Yeah, people like them.
Yeah, like the Pet Shop Boys.
The Pet Shop Boys?
I look like the Pet Shop Boys?
Put me and you together.
Do you know Cardi's music?
Are you a fan of Cardi B's music?
Yes, I am, of course.
You come up in my shuffle, and you're amongst weird company.
It's a lot of my own comedy albums.
Congratulations.
-"Some Steely Dan."
And Tom Jones.
You are, like, a giant Tom Jones fan.
I am interested in Tom Jones.
And I think he's very talented.
But I have his music because I played a prank with a song of his years ago.
When I was about 11 years old, I went to a diner that had a jukebox where for 1 you got three plays.
And my friend and I put in $7, and then we selected 21 plays of Tom Jones' What's New Pussycat.
And then we sat down and waited.
And did people just have a meltdown?
They lost their minds!
Played 11 times, then they unplugged the jukebox.
Now you'd think that would be a record, some sort of record playing that song that many times in a row and driving humans insane.
It was recently beat.
Now, explain this.
And who is this? by a high school student at Clark Central High School.
I believe I'm getting that correct.
His name is Gabe and he snuck into the intercom room because he did the morning announcements and he played What's New Pussycat 22 times for 45 minutes, blasting over the school intercom, and they had to cancel school.
Is he expelled?
No, he got suspended for three days, and he couldn't go to prom.
Well, I didn't think it was fair, but also, like, that's not that bad of a punishment, not going to prom.
Like, at best, prom is like a wedding, you know?
Yeah, at best, yeah.
At best, yeah.
I had a good prom.
You had a good prom?
Really?
All right.
Did you have a good prom?
No.
I've never met anyone who had a good prom.
Well, you know what?
My boyfriend at the time, he dumped me two weeks before my prom.
What?
But I honestly think it's because he didn't want to pay for the limo.
But then that night... I got it.
You don't even want to get into it, but that night something, you saw him again?
No, I just... Did someone pay for the limo?
Was someone in the limo?
Yeah.
You know, my nana drove me to my prom.
But you want to know something?
The limo that I ended up with, I didn't rent it.
You bought a limo?
No, it's just, I just got in a limo and just... Took it.
Forget it.
I can't get into it.
Kids watch me now.
Well, you've already got us 90% of the way there.
No, no, no, no, no.
I think we know.
We could probably put two and two together.
So my nana, anyway.
Your nana.
Yeah, I went with my nana.
John, you are hosting Saturday Night Live.
I know you as a writer on Saturday Night Live.
Yes, I wrote there for about four and a half years, yeah.
This is pretty cool.
It's got to feel great.
It's insane, yeah.
But I worked behind the scenes for so long, and it's like I was a spy.
And now they're like, hey, you should run for president.
And I'm like, I know too much to do that.
But are you gonna be nervous acting?
Well, no.
You're on Broadway.
Am I gonna be?
I've been nervous for 35 years.
Yeah, I'll be.
I am excited nervous, though.
You were fantastic on Saturday night.
You really were fantastic on Saturday night.
I want to talk about your show at Radio City, because you did a stand-up special at, first of all, Radio City Music Hall.
It's crazy.
It's the greatest.
The showroom of the nation.
They do the Christmas spectacular there, right?
The Rockettes.
So they have a room for giraffes, specifically for giraffes, for the nativity scene.
Wow. and it was nicer than my dressing room.
But still, it's like a tiled room with, like, giraffe baths.
Were there giraffes in the nativity scene?
You know, that's an excellent question.
No camels.
Not giraffes.
But, hey, who knows?
Maybe on your Christmas tree, you had a more advanced set than I had.
I'm like, you got giraffes?
I don't take the Bible literally.
There were giraffes and elephants and meerkats there.
Was you nervous and your underarms was itching and stuff?
Yeah, my underarms were sweating during all the shows.
I was so nervous.
But I do a thing when I'm nervous to calm myself down.
Me, too.
What do you do?
Does it work?
Please stop doing that.
Please stop doing that.
I'm trying to make a gif.
You are hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend.
John Mulaney, congratulations, buddy.
Thank you, Johnny.
Thank you so much.
Bring a leg!
Bring a leg!
Thank you.
Hardy and I are about to face off in a game of Box of Lies.
Now, here's how it works.
Upstage are a bunch of boxes containing objects neither of us have seen before.
You remove the object from the box.
You show it to our great audience.
Then you look at your opponent and tell them what's in your.
They have to guess if you're lying or telling the truth.
Cardi, why don't you pick the first box?
Are you ready to play a game?
Are you ready?
Choose the first box.
Audience, want to help her out?
Now, 4 is my lucky number.
Really?
Okay.
All right.
11 and 4.
All right.
Do you want me to help get this?
I don't want to keep getting up.
But this is all part of the game.
I can tell.
Yeah, because you're trying to cheat and stuff.
I'm not cheating, but... Oh, I can tell.
I can tell.
It's very light.
I can tell.
It's very light, the way you carried it over.
Oh, wait!
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Alright.
Now, the audience is very... The audience is very... It's confusing me now, because they...
They just had, like, ten different reactions.
One was... Then it was like... And then it was like... And then they laughed.
Let me touch it.
What is that again?
I'm touching it.
Okay, you're touching it right now.
It's fluffy.
Mm-hmm.
Or is it?
Wait, that is fluffy or is it?
Uh-huh.
What is in your box?
Not a penis.
Okay, all right.
He really wants to quit.
No, I love her.
You and I love you.
What a sore loser.
Oh, I am so... I'm ready to win.
All right, so what is it?
What is it?
Tell me what it is.
I don't know what it is.
You're gonna have to make up something because I'm gonna have to guess if you're lying or telling the truth.
I don't know what it is.
I can wait.
You can think of a name for it, and I can tell you if I think... You have to know what it is.
Uh... Pussy balls.
Are they pussy balls or not?
Now, pussy balls...
I am going to say you tell the truth.
Let me see.
Hey!
I'll take that.
Can you please hold my pussy balls?
I knew that was gonna happen.
Okay, good.
All right, I have your... All right, here we go.
What number, guys?
All right, thank you.
One person.
One person is on my side.
Unbelievable.
My sister yelled out, three.
Yeah, perfect.
Here we go.
Let's look at this.
So heavy.
I'm playing jump rope in your head right now.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
Let me talk to you a second.
I just want to tell you something between us.
What I have here in my box is a stuffed animal.
It's got a Freddy Krueger claw on it.
Hat.
It's a wrinkly dog.
It's a wrinkly dog with a Freddy Krueger outfit on.
Sounded like my ex-boyfriend's grandmother.
Might be.
It might be.
You wouldn't lie to a pregnant woman, wouldn't you?
I tell the truth.
Okay!
I don't wanna see it!
I don't want to scare you.
I don't want to scare baby.
I'm sorry, baby.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Uncle Jimmy is sorry.
Uncle Jimmy loves you.
Can you call me?
Can the baby call me Uncle Jimmy?
If I give birth here, I will sue you.
I'm going to give you.
You won.
You won.
Oh, my God.
You got to be kidding me.
Sorry, I'm getting a FaceTime.
Sorry about this.
Can I just pick it up?
Hi, Jimmy!
Oh, my gosh!
It's Cardi B, everybody.
Oh, my gosh.
What's going on?
What you doing?
What's going on?
Nothing much.
Just I'm doing a little busy just doing the show, the Tonight Show.
Oh, that's okay.
I know the producers.
Like, they wouldn't mind.
I just got something to tell you.
You can put it on hold.
I have an album coming out this week.
I want to let you know.
You know that?
No, you have a new album out?
Coming out.
You have a new album coming out?
Yes, look, look.
Can you see it?
It's called, Am I the Drama?
Am I the Drama?
Oh, my gosh.
Do you see the picture?
I can kind of see it.
Yeah, I can see it a little bit.
Do you see my butt?
I can see it a little bit, I think.
You're only a little bit.
No, you got to see the whole thing.
I took 12 hours to do this thing.
Look at the crowd.
Look at the crowd.
That was a real crowd.
I can definitely see it now.
Yeah?
Yeah, it's almost like...
You didn't get my album, Jimmy!
Tell people in your show to get my album.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah.
So, wait.
When does it come out?
It comes out September 19th.
September 19th, this Friday.
Go get it now.
Show your audience, or then I'm gonna be homeless.
Cardi B, everybody.
Tickets are on sale. for a new tour September 25th.
The album's out September 19th.
I love her.
FaceTime me next time you're here.
I'd love to know if you're in town.
That's great.
Welcome back to New York City.
I always love having you here.
Thanks for coming through.
Well, thank you.
Thank you for having me.
I want to talk about this.
Your tour, Little Miss Drama, selling out crazy.
This is your first headlining tour.
Yes.
Sold out.
Madison Square Garden tomorrow and Thursday.
Sold out!
Sold out!
You can't get a ticket!
You can't get a ticket!
You can't get a ticket.
No.
But you're from New York.
How does that feel to sell at Madison Square Garden?
You know it's really exciting, but like today, I've been very annoyed because it's like everybody wants tickets.
40 people for my mom's side.
30 people from my dad's side.
All my friends, friends from high school, friends from the projects, friends from the Bronx, friends from Brooklyn.
It's just that I'm so overwhelmed.
Yeah, of course.
Yes.
What can people expect from this tour?
Fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, I make sure that it's like a party.
A party.
Yes.
Like, if I could get free liquor out, I would, but...
So you have to make money somehow.
I have to make some of the money back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But during the concert, you fly over the crowd at one point.
Yes.
Now, we've discussed this.
You have a fear of heights.
Yeah.
Bacardi, why are you doing this?
For the plot.
For the what?
For the plot.
Wow.
Yeah.
For the plot.
For the plot.
So you're doing it for the plot because you think, this is it.
I'm going to just do it.
And what is your mindset?
Is your eyes closed?
Yeah, I'll be like, oh, my God, this is going to gag.
It's going to gag them.
You just have to do it.
You just got to always be over the top, even if that means risking your own life.
Come on, now.
That's what I'm talking about.
Last time you were here and graced us with your presence.
It was the day that your album Am I the Drama came out.
And it became the fastest album ever to go platinum.
And it was your second number one album.
Yes!
That's what I'm talking about.
You've been making music now for a decade or over a decade.
Is there any advice that you would give to yourself when you were first starting out?
Now that you know,
Like, I would tell myself, why are you arguing with people on Twitter?
Why are you doing that, girl?
Why?
I don't know, but it was fun.
Yeah, you did it.
And now you learned that you don't do that anymore.
Not as much.
I reduce the time.
Yeah, just a quick little argument.
Yeah, like, before, I would, like, argue for, like, 13 hours.
Wow, that´s a lot of time.
Yeah.
I know.
Yeah, and you don´t need that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, you don´t need anything.
You´re doing great.
Yeah, don´t get in those arguments.
But now, look at what you´re doing.
Look at Growgood.
This is your new haircare line.
Congratulations on this.
Thank you.
You need to grow some hair?
Yeah.
I need to grow some hair.
Yeah, you want me to grow?
Well, this is... You there.
You know what I'm saying?
You still got some.
You know what I'm saying?
You haven't reached that limit.
Thank you.
Because, you know, men, out of nowhere, that's when they start, like, getting, you know?
The B-word.
-"The B-word."
Yeah.
I don't have any spots.
I have a full head of hair.
I think I'm just gonna go.
I don't even, like, I have a little grayish here and there.
I'm gonna go.
Me, too.
I got, like, seven gray hairs.
Yeah, I can count them all.
Somewhere.
I have them all.
But I think I'm gonna go full just white at one point.
Just wait a little bit.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, because, like, why do you want to look older so quickly?
Like, why?
Why do you want to look older so quickly?
That's true.
I don't know.
Why would you want to do that?
But I also don't want to look that young, either.
No, but you want to look hot.
You're in your hot boy era.
Yeah.
You're not saying anything.
I will use Grow Good, by the way.
And if I do, I will have hair that's booty-length certified.
Yeah.
I wonder how you would look with booty-length certified hair.
You ever had long hair before?
No, I had long hair once.
It was terrible.
I always thought I looked cool, but then I see my face.
My face doesn't fit that.
No?
No.
But I like a good, healthy hair.
I got a perm once.
Yeah, but you probably look like a sexy Italian with a little ponytail.
A little ponytail?
Yeah.
Next time you come out, I'll wear one.
I'll let you judge, see if it's good.
I love your hair, but I love the name, by the way.
Yeah.
Grow good.
Grow good.
Grow your hair good.
Yeah, just grow your hair good.
Yeah.
So you came out with this.
It's actually not even available yet.
It's pre-sale right now.
Yeah, it's pre-sale.
But pre-sale sold out.
Yes, everything is selling out.
What is going on?
So now are people calling you and bothering you?
Your family wants to grow good now?
Yes, and it's like, girl, I don't even have one for myself.
Like, I'm running out of my own product.
I know.
I think it's because it's my Jesus year.
I'm a believer, yes.
This is your Jesus year?
Yeah, 33.
It is a big year.
Yeah.
33 is a big year.
Yeah, so, you know, like, I believe in Jesus.
Yeah.
And it's like he's blessing me on my Jesus year.
So this is your Jesus year, and you're getting blessed.
That's why you're selling out everywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you always said, like, you always wanted to, like, do your own hair, Caroline.
I remember, like, online, I've seen you do stuff with, like, avocado in your hair.
Yeah.
There's some here.
It is?
Yeah.
But then I saw you do one, you put the garlic in your hair?
Oh, so let me tell you something.
Oh yeah, let me tell you something.
This is what I'm saying.
I put garlic, but I put it too raw on my hair.
And for six months straight, every single time I sweat, I smell like a pasta bowl.
It was gross.
Vampires won't bother you.
Well, I am the vampire.
Oh!
But that's hilarious.
So you couldn't do garlic in this?
Yes.
No garlic.
I would never do that again.
No.
I would never ever do it again.
It didn't work out?
No, it didn't work out.
You know, because I'd be doing, like, rice water.
I'd be doing onion water.
But this time, I decided to go raw garlic.
Like, I'm like, you know what?
I don't got time to boil it.
And I was smelling like a chicken Caesar salad for six months straight.
Come on now.
Oh, my God.
It was so horrible.
But this smells fantastic.
I know some of these had a little rosemary in it, avocado.
Avocado, aloe, everything.
Yes.
I love it.
You're a great singer.
You don't have a jingle for this, do you?
For Grow Good?
I haven't made one up yet.
Do you want to make one up now?
Grow good hair, grow some hair for your big forehead.
That sounds like something I know.
That sounds like something I know.
I love it.
I'm so happy for you.
I always love when you come by.
Keep crushing it.
Selling out shows.
Don't stop.
Cardi B.
Don't stop.
Her haircare line, Grow Good, goes back on sale April 15th.
And go see Cardi on her Little Miss Drama Tour.
