Without further ado, let’s dive into the unforgettable moments every time Cardi B graced the stage of The Ellen Degeneres Show. From her infectious personality to her candid interviews, Cardi B never fails to captivate the audience.
During her first appearance in the talk show, Cardi B took the world by storm with her booming popularity in the hip hop and pop culture scene. Ellen greeted her with a warm applause, acknowledging her rise as a musical phenomenon. The interaction started with the question of whether to address her as Cardi B or her real name, Belcalis, to which Cardi B playfully responded with a challenge to pronounce her real name correctly.
With her signature humor, Cardi B shared that she goes by various names depending on the context, but she preferred “Cardi” or “Cardi B.” Ellen applauded her success and brought up her fabulous performance on Saturday Night Live, which Cardi B admitted was nerve-wracking, especially because she had to reveal her pregnancy during the show.
Speaking candidly about her pregnancy, Cardi B confessed that she used Spanx and layers of clothing to hide her baby bump. She also jokingly mentioned that she twerked at Coachella to help with the delivery process. The talk show host, Ellen, admired Cardi B‘s confidence and commended her for breaking barriers in the music industry.
Switching gears, Ellen brought up Cardi B‘s role in helping her husband, Offset, purchase a car. Cardi B cheerfully shared that she played a part in getting him a discount, but playfully suggested that Ellen should help her buy a Lamborghini truck, even though she doesn’t drive. The conversation delved into Cardi B‘s childhood in the Bronx, where she was known for her disruptive but entertaining personality.
Addressing her transition from being a stripper to a rapper, Cardi B revealed that she used the money she earned from stripping to invest in her dream. She shared how her personality and social media following played a significant role in propelling her career forward, leading to her appearance on VH1 and eventually becoming a well-known artist.
The conversation also veered towards Cardi B‘s talent competition series, Rhythm and Flow, on Netflix. Chance the Rapper, one of the judges on the show, joined the discussion and emphasized the show’s importance as hip-hop’s first legitimate TV competition. Cardi B added that they came for the check but stayed for the connection with the contestants and the opportunity to nurture their talents.
Tragically, the conversation took a somber turn as they discussed the late Nipsey Hussle, who participated in Rhythm and Flow. Cardi B fondly recalled meeting him at his Grammy nomination party and expressed her sadness over his untimely passing. The atmosphere shifted back to a lighter note as Ellen praised Cardi B‘s acting skills, particularly her role in the movie Hustlers.
The game segment of the show, titled “Never Have I Ever,” brought out Cardi B‘s candid side. She humorously confessed to hooking up with a fan before she became famous and to accidentally sending a dirty text to the wrong person. Admitting her regrets, she revealed the tattoos she wishes she hadn’t gotten, playfully saying that they “gotta go.”
Each time Cardi B appears on The Ellen Degeneres Show, she brings laughter, unfiltered honesty, and an undeniable charisma. Her journey from a young girl with big dreams in the Bronx to a global music sensation is a testament to her hard work and determination. With each appearance, Cardi B continues to captivate the audience, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her next talk show appearance.
