Cardi B explains to Matthew McConaughey during her 'Today' show interview why she mentioned him in her song, attributing the reference to Megan Thee Stallion's lyrics about attractive white men.
In an unexpected turn of events, rap superstar Cardi B found herself in the company of Matthew McConaughey and Jenna Bush Hager during a recent episode of "Today with Jenna & Friends". The trio, an unlikely combination, left viewers in awe as they discussed various topics, including McConaughey's new poetry book and his upcoming thriller, "The Lost Bus".
The conversation began when Cardi B, who was a guest host on the show, reminisced about meeting McConaughey at Madonna's Oscars party. She joked about feeling famous when she met the Hollywood star, and the laughter continued as she admitted to referencing McConaughey in her verse on "Wanna Be (Remix)".
"And my toes white like Matthew McConaughey," Cardi B rapped, a line that prompted Jenna Bush Hager to remind her of the reference. McConaughey, who was aware of the mention, asked Cardi B to elaborate on the reference, and she admitted that she had to change his last name to rhyme it.
The reference was a nod to McConaughey's notorious white toes, a topic that has been a subject of discussion in recent years. Cardi B's admission was met with amusement from both McConaughey and Jenna Bush Hager, with the latter noting that she could never have imagined a trio like Cardi B, Matthew McConaughey, and herself together.
