Cardi B has officially teamed up with You to help unveil the highly anticipated trailer for the fifth and final season of the popular Netflix thriller. On Sunday (March 9), the Bronx rapper excitedly shared a video with fans, teasing the shocking surprises to come in the upcoming trailer.
“Hello, you,” Cardi playfully said, nodding to Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), the show’s infamous main character. “When I tell you – girl, I am shook! I cannot wait! And it’s like they got a little cute surprise. I cannot wait for you guys to see the trailer. Y’all gonna gag. Got me gagging!”
Her infectious energy and teasing excitement set the stage for fans who are eagerly awaiting the return of the gripping psychological drama. The trailer, which dropped the following day, promises a thrilling ride to wrap up Joe Goldberg’s dark journey.
Cardi B and Penn Badgley’s Viral ‘You’ Connection
This isn’t the first time Cardi B and Penn Badgley have sparked conversation about You. Back in 2021, Cardi was overjoyed to learn that Badgley, known for playing the show’s creepy protagonist, admired her work. The two shared a playful moment on Twitter, swapping avatars in a fun display of mutual admiration.
“I really appreciate people who have this second-nature relationship to [social media],” Badgley said while promoting the third season of You. “When you do have something meaningful and substantive to post, then I think it really comes through and people appreciate it all the more. Cardi B is a great example of that… she has an incredibly authentic relationship to that.”
The Eerie Gift and ‘Hello, You’ Surprise
The connection between Cardi B and You only deepened after Badgley sent her an eerie surprise. The gift included a hat with the words “Hello, You…” emblazoned on it and a note written in Joe Goldberg’s signature creepy style. The letter, signed “Joe,” included a playful yet unsettling message that read:
“My stalking and killing may make me a certified freak, seven days a week, but it also brought me to… you. Cardi B, you have a way with social media. You’re meaningful. Substantive. I just like you. You’re authentic and nuanced… just as you are with your music.”
Badgley wrapped up his letter with a humorous, yet slightly ominous tone: “I hope you don’t disappear with this hat.” Cardi kept the joke going on Twitter, teasing fans by joking about how Joe Goldberg might have tracked down her new address.
Fans Rally for Cardi B’s Role on ‘You’
While Cardi B’s You surprise didn’t translate into a role on the show, her fans were quick to rally behind her. A petition surfaced on Change.org, urging the show’s creators to feature Cardi in season 4, but the campaign never gained the traction many hoped for.
Now, with season 5 on the horizon, Cardi’s involvement in the trailer reveal only intensifies the excitement surrounding the final season. Fans of both You and Cardi B are eager to see how this playful partnership unfolds in the last chapter of Joe Goldberg’s story.
As the final season of You approaches, it’s clear that Cardi B’s love for the show and her connection with Badgley have only made the wait that much more thrilling.
