“Hey guys, I’m with Scar Lip right now and we go to the same studio all the time; so I was like, yo, she should come upstairs so we could have a little chat because she’s a dope ass person,” Cardi B said. “And like, her story is so interesting and everything about her is so interesting so say hi to her.”
Cardi B then panned the camera over to Scar Lip who bashfully greeted the “Bodak Yellow” rapper’s fans. Cardi B then took it upon herself to affirm the Bronx artist during their wholesome interaction.

“She’s so shy but I really want to let you know that however you think your friends are, I’m probably the same way but more hyper,” Cardi said. “So um, I think you guys should let her know what you guys would like to see from her because I really want her to make it and she’s such a dope ass person and ya’ll need to watch out. And I think she should be on XXL Freshman year [cover] or whatever.”

Cardi B’s kind gestures are not lost on Scar Lip. In May, the Bardi leader co-signed Scar on Instagram after stealing the show at the 2023 Met Gala in New York City.
Cardi reposted a clip of Scar Lip from The Neighborhood Talk‘s Instagram page showing the burgeoning rhymer rocking a black dress and mask ready to partake in the Met Gala celebrations. “I love her,” Cardi B captioned her Story, sending a heartwarming message of support to Scar Lip.
The rap rookie could barely contain her excitement and quickly posted a video on IG capturing her disbelief, to the point she was tearing up and kneeling on the floor due to Cardi showing her love.
“Cardi B just posted me,” she said while crying tears of joy. “She inspired me. She from The Bronx, bro. I’m from The Bronx. She showed us young girls we could make it and we could be something, bro. I can’t fucking believe this shit. We did it.”
“My dreams just came true @iamcardib just said she loves me I can’t take this,” she added in her caption.
