The Tonight Show is Jimmy Fallon’s vehicle, sure. But only when Cardi B doesn’t stop by.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper made a classic entrance on Fallon’s late night show Tuesday, Sept. 16, as he was delivering his monologue.
First, Cardi Facetimed the talkshow host. Then — voila! — she strolled onto the set, to share some important information.
Carrying the vinyl of her forthcoming album Am I The Drama?, Cardi showed off the artwork, announced a tour, and urged viewers to get off their armchairs and buy a copy of her long-awaited collection.
“Tell people on your show to get my album. Thank you.” She quipped, “tell your audience or I’m gonna be homeless.”
