Cardi B is making money go to Hollywood.
The Bronx-born rapper is expected to debut in the movie "Hustlers", produced by Jennifer Lopez, about a group of former strippers who swindle their wealthy Wall Street customers.
The film, which is based on the article from Jessica Pressler's New York magazine "The Hustlers at Scores", already brings together a leading cast, including star of "Crazy Rich Asians", Constance Wu, Lili Reinhart from the fame of "Riverdale", as well as Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer and Lopez.
Lorene Scafari ("The Meddler") will be the screenwriter and director of the project, which is distributed by STXfilms and is expected to begin production at the end of the month in New York.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this dynamic women's group," Scafaria said in a statement to Deadline on Tuesday. "We are grateful to have such a group together and look forward to starting shooting at the end of the week."
Lopez and Cardi B joined forces on the track "Dinero" with DJ Khaled. The trio won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Collaboration at the 2018 Ceremony.
Cardi B was open to the job of stripper in the past before his rap career took flight, telling Howard Stern that the money that she earned by dancing "m" really saved.
And if this is Cardi B's first feature film, she is more than comfortable in front of the camera, having recorded a few seasons on the VH1 reality show "Love & Hip Hop: New York", as well as an appearance invited to the BET drama "Being Mary Jane".
She will also be a member of the jury of Netflix's next series of Rhythm and Flow music competitions to find the next hip-hop star alongside Chance the Rapper and T.I.
