Chris Rock Tried to Make Cardi B A Comedian; Compares Her To Comedy Legends

Cardi B is a big music star.

If it was up to Chris Rock, she'd be in another entertainment genre.

"Cardi B I saw, like, on some YouTube thing or whatever. Again, my kids show me this Cardi B girl, and she didn't have a record out or anything," Rock told his guy Jimm Fallon. "And I was like, 'OK we should go show it.' I'm not even gonna say what network but. So I went me, Cardi B and her management, you know, to kind of like get a show going."

However, Cardi was more enthusiastic about doing music.  Which Rock thinks is too bad.

"I think Cardi B's the funniest woman, or one of the funniest people. You know, it's like Chappelle, Cardi," Rock continued. "Like in the standings right now, like who are the funniest people in the world? Cardi's right up there. She's neck and neck with Bill Burr. Like, she's good, man.  Bill puts a little more writing into it, but Cardi can hang with anybody."

Do you agree, or do you think Rock is trying to get that WAP from the newly single Cardi?
