3 When She Invited JoJo Siwa to Her House For Christmas

During her opening monologue, Cardi shared a funny story about trying to nab JoJo for her daughter Kulture's princess-themed birthday party in July. "So my husband, he was trying to get JoJo Siwa for my daughter's birthday party but she is booked and busy," she said. "So JoJo Siwa, could you please come see my daughter at Christmas? I know you cost a lot of money. Let me tell you something. Y'all rappers don't got nothing on JoJo Siwa."

Minutes later, when JoJo took the stage to announce the winner award for best pop group or duo, she responded to Cardi's request! "Cardi, I'm going to see what I can do and I'm going to try and make Christmas happen, I promise. Putting it in my phone right now."
