Cardi B Records Hilarious PSAs for New York City Subways in New Video

When you’re riding the subway, Cardi B wants you to ask yourself: “Am I the drama?” If so, you might want to adjust your behavior.
In a partnership with New York City transit shared by the MTA on Tuesday (Sept. 23), the rapper recorded a slate of announcements reminding riders of proper subway safety and etiquette. They will play over the speakers in numerous subway stations across the city.
In an Instagram clip posted by the MTA, Cardi swings by the agency’s offices to recite the snappy PSAs into a microphone. “We’re walking here!” she says for one. “Steps are for stepping, not sitting. Move it, Bucko!”
Another announcement finds the Grammy winner telling New Yorkers, “Stop subway surfing. Ride safe, keep it cute, and keep it moving.”
“These trains don’t move without you, so make sure you pay that fare and keep it real,” Cardi adds in the video.
The partnership comes a few weeks after Cardi hilariously walked through NYC subway cars to sell copies of her new album Am I the Drama?, which dropped Sept. 19. She also sold copies street vendor-style at one point, writing on Instagram at the time, “My label said I gotta get out in these streets and sell this album.”
The Bronx native isn’t the first star to partner with the MTA. Last October, Billie Eilish teamed up with the agency to encourage eco-friendly methods of travel ahead of her show in NYC, telling New Yorkers in recorded messages over the speakers, “If you’re planning to see my concert this week, ditch the car and help the planet by riding the MTA to Madison Square Garden.”
