The singer may make spitting rhymes look easy, but she’s somewhat less comfortable when it comes to using a steering wheel. “I hit something!” she admits after the video shows her backing up into some flags in a parking lot. “You think?” Corden responds drily. Cardi also shouts out some advice to kids at a playground as they drive by: “Stay in school! Listen to your mom! Or you won’t be getting no Christmas gifts!” she recommends. (She is a new mom herself, having [given birth](http://time.com/5373093/cardi-b-vmas-2/) to baby Kulture, her daughter with Migos rapper Offset, in July.) Since putting out her debut album in the spring and giving birth in the summer, Cardi has also released a single this fall, “Money,” and made select performance appearances.
