Cardi Cuts Through Potluck Politeness With Zero-Sugar Realness
Cardi B has officially entered the neighborhood potluck—and she is not there to politely pretend that everybody’s casserole deserves a compliment.
The rapper, entrepreneur and professional teller of it exactly like it is stars in Zevia’s new “Real Talk Interpreter” campaign, translating the carefully filtered things people say out loud into what they are actually thinking.
In the campaign’s “Potluck” commercial, a round of neighborly small talk quickly becomes Cardi’s playground as she cuts through the niceties with the blunt humor and animated delivery that made her a natural fit for the concept.

“Real Talk Interpreter” is Zevia and Cardi’s first full creative campaign together. It stretches across streaming television, video, social media and retail, with a second hero spot titled “Guidance Counselor” applying the same no-filter treatment to polished school-meeting language.
The partnership is bigger than a one-off celebrity commercial. Cardi previously joined Zevia as both a shareholder and brand ambassador, while the company became the official soda sponsor of her Little Miss Drama Tour.
Zevia positions the campaign around the idea that real beats fake: real ingredients in the can, and Cardi’s unmistakably real commentary in the room. The “Potluck” spot highlights the brand’s Orange Creamsicle soda as Cardi exposes the thoughts hiding behind all that suspiciously pleasant party chatter.
Inside Cardi B’s Very Honest Zevia Potluck
Cardi B turns a polite neighborhood gathering into a full real-talk translation session for Zevia.
The wider campaign also invites fans to submit their own filtered conversations—from dating-app confusion to group-chat drama—for a possible Cardi translation across Zevia and Cardi’s social channels. Because sometimes a nice little “sounds good” is carrying several paragraphs of unsent truth.
