Cardi B and Karol G have made their mark on the music industry, but beyond their professional achievements, they share few similarities. That’s why her reaction was hilarious when Cardi B was mistaken for Karol G during a recent radio interview.

The incident occurred during an interview on Mega 97.9 radio station, where Cardi B was the guest of honor. A fan called in to interact with the rap sensation as the interview was underway. However, instead of addressing Cardi B by her name, the caller enthusiastically greeted her with “Karol G!” This unexpected mix-up prompted a swift and humorous response from Cardi B and the radio hosts.
