"Okurrr" merchandise appears to be on the way.

Cardi B's "Okurrr" was one of the biggest catchphrases in 2018 and now, it looks like she's getting ready to capitalize on it to the fullest. According to The Blast, the Bronx-bred rapper filed paperwork to trademark the saying for merchandising purposes such as shirts, hoodies, pants, as well as cups and posters.

The phrase gained tons of popularity after her appearance on Jimmy Fallon last year. While co-hosting the gig, Fallon asked the star to define "Okurrr," among other Cardi catchphrases.

"You know, it's like a cold pigeon in New York City... Okurrr," she explained before showcasing the different variations of the saying. "It depends on the situation that you're in. If somebody checks somebody, it's like...okurrr! I didn't know she had all of that in her, okurrr! It's like okaaay, but okay is played out.... We've done that already!"

Cardi not only filed to trademark "Okurrr" with three R's but she also filed documents to trademark a version with two R's.

In other Cardi B-related news, the rapper is set to make her acting debut in the upcoming stripper film, Hustlers. Cardi will be joining a star-studded cast including Constance Wu, KeKe Palmer, Lili Reinhart, and more. Filming is set to start tomorrow (Mar. 22nd).
