Super Bowl ads are such an integral part of the Big Game that brands release trailers to stir up excitement from consumers who are more likely to tune in for the celebrity-studded product placement than the sport -- Pepsi's latest trailer features Cardi B, confirming rumors of her placement in this highly anticipated ad.
In the ad, Cardi B is seen sitting at a booth in a diner. This is the same diner that actor Steve Carell was seen reading a Pepsi script in a prior ad teaser. In this ad, the rapper is tapping on a bedazzled Pepsi can, while sporting glistening fake nails, and a diamond-studded suit.
The five-second ad spot was strategically designed to encourage consumers to tune into the Big Game.
