On Eve of Olympics Cardi B Gets Emotional Hyping Team USA Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson: ‘I’m Really, Really Proud of You’


Cardi B got emotional praising Team USA sprinter Sha-Carri Richardson's skills on the track ahead of Friday's (July 26) kick-off of the Olympics.

She’s a real lit girl,” Cardi said to sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson as the two had their nails tended to for an NBC segment hyping the network’s coverage of the games. Cardi said Richardson — the Team USA sprinter who is a gold medal favorite to win the coveted 100 meter crown in Paris after losing her spot in the 2021 Tokyo Games over a positive marijuana test — is “one of us,” a compliment that seemed to really touch her new friend. “I’m really, really proud of you, seriously, because you came back stronger than ever with your talent,” said Cardi, who may have been projecting just a bit as she continues to tease out the long-awaited follow-up to her smash 2018 debut album, Invasion of Privacy.
