I mean, it inspired a meme!
But, it turns out that Cardi had a little scare behind the scenes. In a recent interview with Genius, director Picture Perfect revealed that the cheetah flippin' attacked her!
He explained, "I didn't know how hard it was going to be to get a cheetah out there [in Dubai]. We actually got this cheetah from a sultan out there. He's actually calm right here. We shot this other scene that we didn't use and he attacked Cardi in that scene."
He continued, "This cheetah scene was really supposed to be Cardi in an exotic car. That’s the vibe in Dubai. They ride around with these cats in the passenger seat. We could never get that shot off."
"We didn’t find the guy crazy enough to let us put a cheetah in his passenger seat and I don’t think Cardi would’ve trusted that.”
Somehow, they were able to find a second cheetah to replace the first, and after it'd eaten "about six pounds of deer meat, he was just calm."
Instead of calling it quits, the "Finesse" singer powered through and even became comfortable enough to pet the animal.
Honestly, this is just more proof that Cardi's a boss.
