In case you needed one more reason to love Cardi B even more than you know you already do, here it is.
Cardi has been teasing fans that something new is dropping at midnight (on 3/30) and had fans asking if it was a music video, or a new song, or another big surprise. But before all this, she decided to give fans a "little preview" of what fans can look forward to on her upcoming album, Invasion of Privacy. However, what came next was not a new song, and in fact, it was a glorious cover of "Cinderella" from the iconic movie, The Cheetah Girls. And it was CHEETAHLICIOUS.
In the video, Cardi starts off by telling fans, "I just want to give a little preview of what you're gonna get on April 6th, it's one of my songs," and then proceeded to sing "Cinderella." You've never been so happy to see and hear 2003 again in your life.
In case you need a memory refresh, "Cinderella" is the song The Cheetah Girls -- Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, and Sabrina Bryan -- sing for their talent show audition at school, in some coordinated cheetahlicious outfits.
A few of the original Cheetah Girls were loving this bit of homage to their Cheetah-clad days. Adrienne wrote, "Lol! THIS is EVERYTHING!" And Sabrina reposted the video to her Instagram along with the caption, "Ummm...gunna leave this right here while my mind is blown! Loving everything about this video @iamcardib just posted!! I have nothing but love for you girl! #cheetahlove #cardib #lovingher #living#thecheetahgirls #cinderella #firstmovie#thecheetahsmeetcardib #moviefouranyone."
Lol! THIS is EVERYTHING! 🙌🏽 #Cheetahlicious! https://t.co/udmK2W37uV

But here's the question: Did Cardi B really troll everyone with this Cheetah Girls cover? Or did she actually sample this absolute gem of a song on an Invasion of Privacy track? Many fans are believing the latter. How many days until April 6th again?!
You know we are living in prime time early 2000s when Cardi B is sampling “Cinderella” by Play/Cheetah Girls in her new song #invasionofprivacy pic.twitter.com/eD6SuFbcpa
