Cardi B Is the New Voice of MTA Subway Safety PSAs Across NYC

An MTA video confirms her announcements will air in stations citywide.

Overview

  • The MTA posted an Instagram clip on Sept. 23 showing Cardi B recording public-safety and etiquette messages at the agency’s offices.
  • The recorded announcements will play over speaker systems in numerous subway stations across New York City.
  • Sample lines include “We’re walking here!”, “Steps are for stepping, not sitting”, and “Stop subway surfing. Ride safe, keep it cute, and keep it moving.”
  • The partnership follows her recent, highly visible promotion for the Sept. 19 album Am I the Drama?, including a viral skit selling CDs on the subway.
  • The move continues the agency’s use of celebrity voices for rider outreach, following Billie Eilish’s recorded messages last October.
