Not only is she the award-winning star of [_Jane the Virgin_](http://time.com/3502742/jane-the-virgin-gina-rodriguez/), but she is also a natural born rapper. When Rodriguez stopped by _The Tonight Show_, host Jimmy Fallon outed her alter-ego “Cutz”, a hard-rapping performer who spit lines alongside her friend’s stage persona “Lady Fury.” Fallon then peer pressured Rodriguez into bringing Cutz out to play. Rodriguez grabbed the mic and gave Cutz _The Tonight Show_ debut she so richly deserved, delivering a rapid-fire and undeniably fierce take on Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass.” Now that the world knows about Cutz, we can only hope that she is worked into a storyline on the next season of _Jane the Virgin—_or that Nicki Minaj invites Rodriguez out on tour with her.
