Rapper Cardi B has bagged a 12-month Pepsi deal.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker will be the soft drinks giant’s spokesperson for the next year and according to TMZ, has already filmed an advert that will air in the TV breaks during the NFL flagship game next month.
The Pepsi ad is considered the premiere commercial during the sports event, known as the Super Bowl, and is viewed by an audience of hundreds of millions.
Last year, Cindy Crawford featured in the clip, while the Spice Girls, One Direction, Beyoncé, Britney Spears and the late Michael Jackson have previously featured in the company’s ads.
It was previously claimed Cardi had been in talks to join Maroon 5 during their half-time set.
But the 26-year-old star was said to have been in dispute over whether she secured a solo spot as well as performing their collab Girls Like You.
The Moves Like Jagger hitmakers will now be joined by Big Boi and Travis Scott for their set at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on 3 February.
