Cardi has a little history with acting. She starred in seasons 6 and 7 of Love and Hip Hop: New York. More recently she guest starred on an episodes of the BET drama, Being Mary Jane.
This movie will be the rapper's first film, and it feels poignant that she is playing a stripper. Cardi has made no secret of her previous profession, and would like to see it better respected.
In an interview with Cosmo last year she said,
"People ask, 'Why did you strip?' I don't really want to say, 'Oh, because I was in a relationship with a guy and I needed money to leave.
"People say, 'Why do you always got to say that you used to be a stripper? We get it.' Because y'all don't respect me because of it, and y'all going to respect these strippers from now on."

In a Valentine's Day post, the actress declared her love for her co-star and boyfriend, Cole Sprouse, who plays Jughead Jones. The two have been enamored of each other but haven't spoken publicly about their budding romance.
"You make me very happy," she wrote. "Happy Valentine's Day, my love."
Sprouse later posted his own declaration of affection for his girl, writing, "Quite actually the only thing keeping me sane is @lilireinhart."
Based on the post above, that should give Reinhart something smile about.
Hang in there, Lili. You will get through your "journey of self-love."
You remain an inspiration to us all.
