Baddies Midwest executive producer confirms Cardi B following show
The March 17, 2025, livestream wasn’t the first time Cardi B was seen appreciating both stars. On January 27, 2025, Baddies Midwest executive producer Natalie Nunn reported details about Cardi's longstanding interest in the show through a social media post.
Nunn's statement detailed Cardi's specific appreciation for Big Lex and Ivori's performances in the series. In a video shared by ZeusNetworkTea on X on January 27, Nunn shared:
"We partied. We brought the New Year in with Cardi B, and Cardi B was like, 'I love the Baddies.' I went over when we were having a little conversation for a second. And she's like, 'I love Big Lex.'...She also said she loves Ivori, but she definitely had her favorites."
Cardi B was potentially watching the show's episode 21, as it aired just the day before.
What happened in Baddies Midwest season 6 episode 21
The March 16, 2025, episode of Baddies Midwest, titled "911," centered on multiple conflicts within the cast during their Hawaii trip. The episode continued from the previous week's cliffhanger between Ahna Mac and Summer. Their initial confrontation escalated when Ahna threw a water bottle at Summer's face.
The situation intensified later when Ahna ambushed Summer at a gelato spot, hitting her with an ice cream cone and taking her wig. A separate conflict emerged between Biggie and Nunu, stemming from disagreements about punctuality and accountability.
The pair later attempted to resolve their issues to focus on enjoying Hawaii. However, the peace proved short-lived when Jela and Nunu engaged in a physical altercation at a club later that evening.
The Baddies Midwest episode also highlighted growing tensions between the show's original cast members and newer additions. Natalie Nunn addressed these divisions by meeting separately with the newcomers, attempting to reduce escalating conflicts. The cast traveled in separate vehicles to events, with each group expressing their grievances about the other side.
