Sharki B (Cardi B), "Baby Shark's Big Show"
Nickelodeon
Cardi B‘s love of “Baby Shark” will reach new heights with her upcoming cameo on Baby Shark’s Big Show, Nickelodeon revealed Thursday (March 24) — and she’s bringing her family along for the oceanic voyage.
The rapper will guest-star as Sharki B on the animated preschool series, and she’ll be joined by husband Offset (voicing Offshark) and 3-year-old daughter Kulture (Kulture Shark). According a press release, Sharki B is “the biggest star in the seven seas — flashy, awe-inspiring, and ruthlessly fun — but always 100% herself and fin-spires other fishies to do the same.” The news was announced Thursday at Nickelodeon’s upfront presentation by Brian Robbins, president & chief executive officer of Paramount Pictures & Nickelodeon and chief content officer of movies and kids & family for Paramount+.
On the show’s April 15 episode, Baby Shark and his best friend William meet Sharki B and learn “The Seaweed Sway,” the viral song-and-dance craze she created (get a preview below). Ahead of the episode, “The Seaweed Sway” will be included on the compilation album Sing, Dance & Sway the Nick Jr. Way, out on all streaming platforms April 8.
Baby Shark’s Big Show! — based on the Pinkfong song “Baby Shark” and its record-shattering dance video — premiered on Nick Jr. in December 2020 with a Christmas special. In addition to the Nickelodeon series, a “Baby Shark” movie is on the way in 2023.
Cardi has been a vocal “Baby Shark” fan since the beginning, posting an Instagram video in January 2019 of her doing a runway walk around a pool set to the viral song. She also tweeted in that same month that then-baby Kulture loved “the whole Baby Shark mixtape” (in addition to some her mom’s songs).
Below, get a preview of Sharki B’s “Seaweed Sway” and the whole family on Baby Shark’s Big Show!, with the episode premiering April 15 at noon on Nickelodeon.
