When hip-hop superstar Cardi B isn’t offering her own takes on the extended U.S. government shutdown, she’s confirming rumors, first reported by TMZ, that she will star in Pepsi’s big Super Bowl ad.

The soda company released two new teasers today to follow up on last week’s intro starring crunk pioneer Lil Jon, who did little beyond appear in a diner setting and slowly pour himself a fountain soda.

In a very similar manner, these mini-spots don’t reveal anything about the ad that will run during the game—one of three from PepsiCo to promote its Doritos, Bubly and Pepsi classic brands.

For example, Steve Carell appears in the same diner reading a document that he very clearly identifies as a script for the spot.
