Cardi B calls Old Navy campaign a ‘full-circle moment’ after shoplifting admission
The Grammy-winning rapper thanked Old Navy for its support and discussed her history with the brand
Cardi B has described becoming the face of Old Navy’s fall 2026 denim campaign as a “full-circle” moment after recalling that she shoplifted from the retailer while growing up.
Speaking during an Instagram Live on Wednesday, the Grammy-winning rapper thanked Old Navy for its support and discussed her history with the brand.
“Thank you Old Navy for holding me down. In high school, I used to steal from you guys all the time. So it’s just a full-circle moment that I’m an ambassador for Old Navy,” she said. “I used to steal all the time and I never got caught. If it wasn’t for you guys, I probably wasn’t the freshest bi**h in school.”
Cardi also praised Old Navy’s denim for fitting her body shape, saying jeans from many other brands can be difficult to wear.
“BBL bi****s, it is so hard for us to find jeans. Chanel and the stuff like that, we can’t wear those types of jeans. The only big brand that kind of fit our bodies are Acme Studios,” Cardi explained. “This is the type of body I have, I’m 5’3″ and I’m skinny, I got no waist, but my ass and hips is the size of Uganda. They don’t make jeans for a bi**h like me.”
Cardi stars alongside Wisdom Kaye and Quen Blackwell in Old Navy’s Western-themed “The Most Wanted” campaign, released on August 4.
The campaign’s high-waisted cuffed jeans are available in seven colourways for $49.99.
Meanwhile, Cardi’s 2026 single “Ah Ha” debuted at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her “WAP” collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion was also certified diamond by the RIAA earlier this month.
