5 Things We Learned From Cardi B's ‘Hot Ones’ Episode

The Bronx rapper took on the wings of death.

Cardi B interviews are always fun to watch, and her recent appearance on the YouTube show Hot Ones was no exception.

While eating very spicy wings, the Bronx rapper divulged information about her life, beliefs and other fun facts. Below are five of the more interesting tidbits from the show.

  • She Doesn’t Believe Aliens Exist

    When host Sean Evans asked about conspiracy theories, Cardi noted that she doesn’t believe that extraterrestrial beings exist.  “I really don’t believe that aliens are real,” she said. “So if aliens are real and they’re smarter than us, I feel like, why they just haven’t invaded us?”

  • VIsiting Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Residence Was Her Favorite Part Of Her Interview With David Letterman

    It’s been well-established that Cardi is a fan of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency, so it’s no surprise that visiting his home was her favorite part of her 2022 interview with David Letterman. “If anybody loves me and knows me, I love FDR,” she said. “I saw the room where [Winston] Churchill and FDR was talking about the nuke. That’s crazy to me! Like, I’m really here!”

  • She Bounces Music Ideas Off of Husband Offset

    While Cardi is married to Offset, it hasn’t always been clear if they spend a lot of time discussing the music they’re each working on. But, according to the Bronx rapper, they provide each other musical insight outside of the studio. “We go to the studio a lot, so it’s like, ‘What you been working on? What you been playing on?,’” she said. “And as soon as he heard [the beat for ‘Bongos’], he was like, ‘Oh, this is fire.’”

  • Jay-Z and Rihanna Are Her Music Career Role Models

    According to Cardi, Jay-Z and Rihanna are the north star when it comes to making the right business moves in music. “Who I look up to, it would be like Jay-Z, Rihanna because I just feel like they’re super moguls,” she said.

  • Her Wrestlemania Outfit Would Be Revealing

    Cardi is a wrestling fan, so when Evans asked her how she incorporates the names of wrestlers into her bars, she revealed what her appearance would look like whenever she eventually attends Wrestlemania. “[It would be] very skimpy, but I feel like my entrance would have to be grand,” she said. “[Melina] used to walk in with two guys and then she would do a whole split on the ropes. I would have to enter grand like that.”
