The U.S. sprint star swiftly tried to calm the teary rapper.
Team USA sprint star Sha’Carri Richardson is fast on her feet to deal with tears, too. (Watch the video below.)
Richardson, a gold medal favorite in the 100 meters at the Paris Olympics, consoled an overcome Cardi B as the two chatted about their struggles in an undated interview snippet shared by NBC on X Monday.
“I’m really really proud of you, seriously, because you came back stronger than ever with your talent,” the rapper said.
Richardson, who lost her spot in the Tokyo Games in 2021 over a marijuana violation, praised the “Bodak Yellow” singer in return. Then, the Grammy winner warned she felt the waterworks coming on.
“You’re so special,” Cardi B said to the athlete. “You’re really more than just like an athlete. Like, you’re really special.”
