Cardi B is known for her many talents, but rhythmic gymnastics may not be one of them. In a comical new video from her Facebook Watch series, Cardi Tries, the rapper gives this unique sport a shot. Joined by singer Amanda Seales, Cardi receives a lesson from former U.S. National Team rhythmic gymnast and model Nastasya Generalova, discovering just how challenging it can be.
Unlike artistic gymnastics, which is currently highlighted by athletes like Simone Biles and Suni Lee, rhythmic gymnastics focuses on grace without flips or vaults—thankfully for the very pregnant Cardi. Instead, participants use props like the ball, hoop, clubs, and ribbon.
Cardi struggles with the clubs, humorously likening them to a plunger. Her lengthy manicure, complete with talons, may not help her coordination. When it comes to the ball, she cheekily remarks that “balls are always fun!” However, after successfully rolling it down her arm, it bounces back and hits her face. “I felt it!” she laughs.
As they move to the hoop, things don’t improve much for Cardi; she accidentally hits herself on the head and sends the hoop flying across the gym. Admitting her lack of hula hoop skills, she declares, “I’ve never been a person that hula hoops, and I can tell you now, I ain’t never will.” The ribbon is the most manageable prop for her, although she jokes that it’s like “whipping pancakes for like a whole hour.”
The cutest moment arrives when Cardi and Seales change into their gymnastics outfits. Cardi hopes her sparkly pink, silver, and gold costume distracts from her less-than-perfect performance. She looks fantastic, showcasing her baby bump beautifully.
While rhythmic gymnastics might not be Cardi’s forte, she’s open to trying again in the future. “After I give birth, I’ll probably try artistic,” she muses, noting her current limitations.
