Cardi and J. Lo previously worked together on the hit song “Dinero” as well as the music video for the single, but this will be the first time both stars will be headlining a film together.
While it may be Cardi’s first big movie role, the Grammy Award-winning rapper is no stranger to the nightclub life. Before finding fame with music, Cardi worked as an exotic dancer.

In the April 2018 issue of Cosmopolitan, the star addressed why she’s open to speaking about her pole-dancing days: ‘People say, ‘Why do you always got to say that you used to be a stripper? We get it.’ Because y’all don’t respect me because of it, and y’all going to respect these strippers from now on… Just because somebody was a stripper don’t mean they don’t have no brain.”
The film, directed by Lorene Scafaria (The Meddler) and produced by STXfilms, is based on the 2015 New York Magazine article “The Hustlers At Scores” written by Jessica Pressler. Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are producing the project alongside Lopez and her Second Act producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.
Hustlers is set to hit theaters on Sep. 13, 2019.
