Larger than life rapper Cardi B. has snagged her first leading role in the movie Assisted Living, an upcoming comedy from Paramount. The film is described as a “raucous comedy” with “tremendous heart” that is reminiscent of classic comedies like Mrs. Doubtfire, Sister Act, and Tootise. The movie is based on an original script by This Is Us writer Kay Oyegun and is reported to have been in a bidding war in spring 2019. The project is being produced by Temple Hill and Stephen Love.
Assisted Living follows Amber (Cardi B.), a small-time crook who finds herself in over her head when a heist goes wrong. On the run from the cops and her former crew, she struggles to find a hideout. Running out of options, Amber disguises herself as an elderly woman and hides out in the one place no one will look — her estranged grandmother’s nursing home.
Cardi B. has been featured on the big screen before as she starred alongside Jennifer Lopez, Keke Palmer, and Constance Wu in the 2019 crime-drama Hustlers. She can also be seen in Universal’s upcoming film F9, an installment of the Fast & Furious franchise.
Cardi B. has been gracing TV screens since 2015 when she debuted on VH1’s Love & Hip-Hop. The rapper also starred and added executive producing credits to her belt with Netflix’s music reality series Rhythm & Flow, where she gave aspiring rappers a chance at a cash prize along with T.I. and Chance the Rapper.
Cardi B. broke out onto the music scene after quitting Love & Hip-Hop to focus on her music career. Shortly after she landed a hit with her first single Bodak Yellow which went to the number 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Her 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy went on to be certified triple platinum.
