ASMR is all the rage right now. It was only a matter of time before celebrities got in on the trend. Cardi B is the latest celebrity to make an ASMR video and it’s everything you wished and hoped it would be.
If you’re unfamiliar with what ASMR is and what it means, well it stands for autonomous sensory meridian response. ASMR videos are supposed to illicit a tingling sensation on your skin like when someone whispers in your ear.
Most videos feature people speaking quietly and softly into a microphone or doing everyday activities, but with the sound amplified by the microphone. The sound of a bag of chips opening and someone eating those chips could cause you to have those tingly sensations.
Cardi B has always been a fan of ASMR videos. In December 2017 a fan tweeted a video of Cardi trying to do her best Selena Gomez impression. Cardi responded to the fan that she was actually doing ASMR.
I wasn’t doing impression i was doing ASMR

In January she tweeted that her husband Offset a.k.a Kiari thought it was so strange how many ASMR videos she watches daily.

A fan responded to Cardi saying that they watch ASMR videos all the time too, so it’s totally normal. Cardi responded that she watches them “tooooooo much.”

Then in June, she roasted a fan who questioned why her phone battery was always so low. The reason? ASMR videos.

Most recently in September, she was educated on what a private internet browser was and that’s why she can’t find all of the old ASMR videos she has watched.

So it’s not surprising that Cardi made her own ASMR video with W Magazine. This is an ongoing series for W Magazine. Alessia Cara, Olivia Munn and Salma Hayek are a few other celebrities who have also done this series.
The video starts with Cardi whispering her catchphrase, “Okurr” into the microphones. It’s weirdly calming to hear the typically loud and abrasive Okurr slowed down and whispered.
Cardi then introduces herself while whispering, another jarring contrast to how Cardi typically is. She says she just finished a photo shoot for W and is going to play with some toys while talking about herself “ASMR style.”
She also touched on the fact that Offset things ASMR is weird. “My husband thinks it’s very strange and weird,” she said about Offset’s opinions on ASMR. Cardi says that she watches ASMR videos every day before she goes to bed.

While stroking the microphones Cardi talked about the success of her song “Bodak Yellow” and her fear of becoming a one-hit wonder.
Then Cardi continues to talk while stroking a fuzzy blue rug. Cardi talks about her number one singles, filming the music video for “I Like It” and her new baby Kulture.
