Cardi B is in full album rollout mode.
Ahead of her highly anticipated follow-up to her debut Invasion of Privacy, the Bronx superstar sat down with TODAY With Jenna & Friends to promote Am I the Drama?, set to drop Friday (Sept. 19).
She was asked about her relationship with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. “You got a new man, right? Are the sparks sparking?” Jenna asked, with Cardi replying that the sparks are, “Sparklin’, honey. Fourth of July,” before revealing that the two became acquainted through mutual friends. Cardi also said that she plans on supporting Diggs by attending games when she’s finished with her album duties. “I be at the screen every Sunday, every day, cursing people out. Pass the ball!” she said. “But after this whole album thing, I’m going to every single game. Every single one of them.”
Cardi — who is in the midst of a very public divorce from Offset — was then asked how being a single mom affects her dating life and said that her devotion to her three children is no secret. “Everybody knows how devoted I am as a mother,” she answered. “So, they just know that it’s like, this is what I come with. I come with a luggage, a baggage, a book bag, a purse! I come with everything.”
When she was asked if she would ever consider getting married again, the “WAP” rapper didn’t hesitate in her reply. “Yeah, I would get married again,” Cardi said. “I believe in love. I’m like a hopeless romantic.”
She also stuck around to help interview Matthew McConaughey about his new poetry book, Poems & Prayers, and said, “I need that book, I need a good prayer!”
McConaughey said he met Cardi six years ago at Guy Oseary and Madonna’s Oscar party. “I remember that party I felt like, ‘Ahh, so famous!’” she said. They talked about him being referenced in “Wanna Be,” after Megan Thee Stallion was talking about “fine white men.”
He then asked about the “My toes white like Matthew McConaughey” line and she said she mispronounced his last name in order for the rhyme to work. “Megan Thee Stallion, she made a reference about like you know, ‘fine white mens,’ and I was like, ‘Ooh, fine white men! White toes! Matthew McConaughey.’ But I said your last name wrong because I had to rhyme it… He a poet, he knows about it. We gotta fit it.”
Cardi’s sophomore album drops Friday and the Billboard cover star recently announced the 30-date Little Miss Drama Tour that’s set to kick off on Feb. 11.
