This duo has become one of the most intriguing friendships in Hollywood, catching fans off guard with its unexpectedness. It all started with a casual exchange on social media that blossomed into a deep connection over the course of just a few years.
One crucial factor in their friendship is Penn’s Netflix series, “You.” This show has played a significant role in bringing them together and strengthening their bond. Here’s a rundown of their unique connection for fellow fans to enjoy.
Exploring Cardi B and Penn Badgley’s friendship
Cardi B and Penn Badgley’s relationship can be described as mutual admiration that has spanned many years. Their bond started when Badgley expressed his admiration for Cardi B during an interview in 2019, while promoting the premiere of Netflix’s series ‘You’.
As reported by Glamour, he expressed admiration for individuals who possess a natural affinity for the internet, similar to how Cardi B interacts authentically online. This authenticity is what draws people to her so strongly.
In 2021, the video reemerged, drawing Cardi B’s notice. She promptly reacted on Twitter, exclaiming, “He knows me!! OMGGGG!!!! Yoooo, like I’m well-known famous.” Badgley, in turn, seemed surprised by her fangirling.
After that, they each changed their profile photos to one another’s, solidifying their bond as internet friends.
2023 saw the airing of You Season 4, during which Penn Badgley’s friendship with Cardi B generated significant online chatter due to her song “I Like It” being included in the series. As reported by E! News, this led to Cardi B receiving a letter from Joe Goldberg, Penn Badgley’s character in You. The note read:
“My actions, which might classify me as an obsessive stalker and murderer, make me a unique individual. Yet, they have also brought me to…you. Cardi B, your mastery of social media is impressive. You are significant. I simply admire you.
As reported by Deadline, Cardi B was moved to watch the trailer for You Season 5 in March 2025 due to her brief encounters with Penn Badgley. In response, she expressed her excitement and stated, “I can’t wait, and it feels like they’ve prepared a delightful little surprise for us. I can’t wait for you all to see the trailer.
