Cardi B Backs Out of Lead Role in $30M Paramount Film a Week Before Filming

According to Deadline, Cardi B has dropped out of the lead role in a $30 million Paramount movie called "Assisted Living," which was weeks from starting production.

Cardi's departure from the film, which sources tell Deadline was due to her being "overextended," led to the movie being temporarily scratched. Sources say that Cardi hopes to piece things back together sometime this year.

The film centered on Cardi's character, who is a low-level criminal wrongfully accused of a more serious crime. Cardi's character hides out at her grandmother's retirement home, where she disguises herself as an elderly person to buy some time to prove her innocence.

Cardi has yet to comment on the news.
