Vin Diesel and Cardi B surprised “Fast and Furious” fans on Monday by sharing that the rapper is set to appear in “Fast & Furious 9.”

Diesel took to Instagram to share the news with his followers and give a sneak peek into what he and his new castmate have been up to.

“Day 86 here on the set of ‘Fast 9,’” Diesel says in the video alongside Cardi. “I know I’m exhausted. We all gave every single thing we could for this movie, put it all on the table, put it all out there.”

And it’s understandable that the rapper is beat.

“I’m tired,” Cardi says. “But I can’t wait. I ain’t gonna front, this is gonna be the best one.”

Diesel continues in the video adding that it’s their last day of filming in the U.K.

“I need to take a nappy nap,” the rapper finishes.

The “regular degular shmegular girl from the Bronx” is set to appear in the tenth installment of the “Fast and Furious” franchise according to Deadline and Entertainment Weekly. Both outlets reported the rapper has a small role in the film set to be released in May 2020.

Cardi B made her acting debut earlier this year in “Hustlers,” starring alongside fellow artists, Lizzo, Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu and Keke Palmer.

According to Deadline.com, Diesel will also be joined by franchise returnees Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron along with newbies John Cena, Finn Cole and Michael Rooker.
