Overview

• The MTA confirmed Cardi B recorded safety and etiquette announcements that will play in subway stations across the system.
• In an Instagram video from the agency, she is seen taping lines such as “Steps are for stepping, not sitting” and “Stop subway surfing.”
• Other messages urge riders to “make sure you pay that fare and keep it real” and to “ride safe, keep it cute, and keep it moving.”
• The authority has not said how long the recordings will run, noting only that they will be heard systemwide.
• The campaign follows prior celebrity voice partnerships, and it tracks with Cardi B’s recent album promotion and scheduled Global Citizen Festival appearance and 2026 tour dates.
