Rapper Cardi B said she’s scared but excited to host her first time when she presides over the American Music Awards on Sunday. The New York native said she knew the job would be a lot of work, but said she would check it out on her bucket list.
American Music Awards get Cardi B to host the show this year
“I want to do everything. I want to be able to say, ‘I did this, and I did it.’ … I like that my face is everywhere, like, ‘Yeah, I’m here,’ Cardi B said in an interview with Reuters TV.
Her biggest concern now is that the audience is not getting her humor. “My biggest fear is that people will not laugh at my jokes. It’s my fear,” she said. “It’s going to be scary, but it’s going to be fun.”
In addition to jokes, she plans to create fashion moments during the show. At this point, she is planning seven to eight outfit changes. “We’ll try to do as much as we can, we’re going to run back and forth … ‘OK, guys, here we are back again,'” she said, laughing.
In September, Cardi B and her husband, rapper Offset, welcomed another child. She said she is still busy with work but has clear goals. “I want to release my album so I can go on tour in the summer. I have to perform in the summer because that’s where my daughter leaves school. And I want to see my daughter to (go) on tour with me, ”she said.
The American Music Awards air on the ABC television network on Sunday.
