The ‘ErrTime’ rapper sprinkled extra pepper and spice on the premiere, with her guest judge appearance having fans screaming “okur” before the first lip sync even wrapped.
According to network figures, the season 18 launch delivered the highest-rated premiere in the franchise’s history among adults 18 to 49, posting double-digit growth over last season.
That’s not all.
The episode also ranked as the top cable entertainment telecast of the day with younger viewers, while racking up major traction across social media platforms.
Suffice it to say, another win for the trailblazing show, which is led by the inimitable RuPaul, and anchor judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Ts Madison.
For Cardi, the appearance lands as the New York native gears up for a big few months. She is set to hit the Saturday Night Live stage soon and hit the road on the ‘Little Miss Drama Tour.’
