Rapper Cardi B is revving things up in her role in Fast and Furious 9.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker’s casting was announced by Vin Diesel as he shared a video from the last day of filming in the UK.
In the Instagram video, he said: “Day 86 here on the set of Fast 9. I know I’m exhausted. I literally ... we all gave every single thing we could for this movie. Put it all on the table. Put it all out there.”

Vin also recently confirmed that Latin American pop star Ozuna has joined the franchise.
Vin, who plays the role of Dominic Toretto in the series, said: “As you know, we have often found great talent in the music industry to cross over into film. They are expected to leave all the accolades at the door to embrace the character with integrity ... and that is exactly what Ozuna has done. Very proud of your work and role in Fast 9!”

Cena, who joined the fliek in an undisclosed role, recently revealed he felt he had to “earn the respect” of the Fast & Furious “family” saying: “The global connection the franchise has with its fans and the respect that the franchise has for its fans is like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
“You kind of have to earn your respect in so many ways, but once you do you are absolutely, unexpectedly welcomed into the family. It’s been really, really special, and I’m very fortunate.”
