Cardi B reveals that she was supposed to collaborate with BTS

Cardi B has revealed that she was supposed to collaborate with BTS on a new single, before their schedules clashed to prevent it from happening.

BTS have shared some high-profile collaborations across 2021 so far, including ‘My Universe’, their song with Coldplay, and a remix of ‘Butter’ featuring Megan Thee Stallion.

In a new interview with Variety, Cardi revealed that she was set to become the latest in the K-pop band’s long line of star collaborators, before logistics got in the way.

“I was supposed to be on a record with them, but I had just released a record and then it was going to smash with the time,” she explained. “But I love them.”

Asked if the collaboration would happen in the future, Cardi simply said: “Maybe.”

She then added that the love for BTS stretches to her whole family, saying: “I like BTS a lot, but let me tell you something,” she said. “My daughter [Kulture] likes BTS a lot a lot. Like, ‘Mommy, mommy, put [on] the song.’ And it’s like, I already know what she’s talking about.”
