Cardi B Is 'Grateful' Shakira Performed Her Song 'I Like It' During Super Bowl Halftime Show
Cardi B took to Instagram live on Sunday night to discuss the “wow” moment when Shakira performed her song “I Like It” during the Super Bowl halftime show.
As ET reports, the Bronx rapper was fully aware that her song would be a part of Shakira’s set.
"I already knew that Shakira was going to perform 'I Like It.' For me to even know that she was going to perform 'I Like It,' I just be like, 'Yo, that [expletive] is crazy,'" she said. "Do they even understand [that] I grew up listening to these people? Sometimes I just cannot believe this [expletive]. This is crazy."
She also spent some time reminiscing about the Latina star’s influence on her and her peers when she was younger.
"And then she came with the belly dancing era and everybody, like, in Washington Heights, in the Bronx, they wanted to be, like, belly dancers and everything," Cardi recalled. "Even girls that don't speak Spanish, or they don't really know Spanish, they were just, like, belly dancing. It was just, like, a crazy era."
As her humble rant continued, the “Bodak Yellow” artist couldn’t forget to show some love to Jennifer Lopez, who performed alongside Shakira during the Pepsi Halftime Show.
"JLo, she was just boom. She was just flourishing and everything," Cardi gushed. "... For me to even know JLo, for me to even have conversations with JLo, for me to even do a song with JLo, I just sometimes cannot even believe it, digest it."

Cardi B and Lopez worked alongside each other for the 2019 film “Hustlers.” The rapper was also featured in Lopez's 2018 single “Dinero” along with DJ Khaled.
Prior to her live stream, Cardi B shared several videos of herself singing along to hits like "Hips Don't Lie" and "Get Right."
"I really grew up listening to these people and just seeing them in person, performing. That [expletive] is beyond, like, a blessing," she added. "It's just, like, wow. Life is [expletive] crazy. I would never think that this would be my destiny in life. And I'm so thankful and I'm so grateful."
