Cardi B Does Rhythmic Gymnastics

Cardi B may hail from the Bronx, but she’s far from your typical ’round-the-way girl. She’s been able to travel the world while entertaining millions of fans with her music, acting, and gregarious personality. Along those travels, the rap star has also been exposed to cultures and various activities that have forced her to step outside of her comfort zone. Those experiences have served as the inspiration behind her new web series, Cardi Tries, where she tries everything from new hobbies to fresh cuisines. Produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment, with Cardi B serving as an executive producer, Cardi Tries, includes appearances from her celebrity pals and trusty glam squad as she partakes in various adventures.

In the latest and fifth episode, the 28-year-old rapstress links up with actress and comedian Amanda Seales who helps introduce Cardi to the world of rhythmic gymnastics. From working with equipment like the club, ball, and ribbons, to performing a special routine alongside Seales in front of USA Rhythmic Gymnastics National Team member Nastaysa Generalova’s class, Cardi pulls out all of the stops to prove she’s up for any challenge.

It teaches you discipline,” shares Seales in a statement. “The person I am today I can 100% say is because I was in gymnastics and it teaches you to keep getting up when you fall.”

When I heard Cardi B and Amanda were coming to my class, I was beyond stoked, because I know Cardi B is a complete performer,” shares Generalova. “She knows how to get the audience going, and you need that in rhythmic gymnastics. And Amanda’s an ex-gymnast so I know she has tricks up her sleeve.

Cardi Tries can be viewed on Watch Together via Messenger, Instagram, and Facebook Watch, which lets users watch music videos, TV shows, movies, and more in real-time. Viewers can also enjoy episodes of Cardi Tries with family and friends on Messenger and Instagram using the “Watch Together” feature.

Cardi B Say's I don’t know if people know, but Amanda Seales…she grew up doing gymnastics. We just thought she was the best person to do this episode with. Plus, you know that the episode is gonna come around the time of the Olympics so we thought it would be really funny. Actually, on Tuesday, me and Offset, we’re gonna go see different gymnastics classes for Kulture. I’ve just been really interested in gymnastics and I’m glad that I had a little taste of what it is, you know? Gymnastics being fun, but it’s very, very strict, as well, almost like ballerinas. Like ballet (Laughs).
