Cardi revealed that it was actually Vin Diesel who reached out to her for the role, stating, “Vin Diesel reached out, and he was talking about a role. I’m like, ‘It’s freakin’ Fast & Furious. Get me there, put me on a plane!’ I like the fact that I’m representing such a powerful, strong woman. She’s just that bitch.”
Cardi added that Vin has made her feel very comfortable on set, and she also spoke about seeing co-stars Ludacris and Don Omar in the film, which she says “makes the hood have hope.”
