Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee has set off a new venture with help from Cardi B. The Jason Lee Show arrives courtesy of Revolt and recently shared its premiere episode with the Grammy winner. This conversation was anticipated due to Lee and Cardi's personal friendship, and the rapper detailing opinions that she may have otherwise avoided with other platforms.

"In 2019, I really—I felt like I was like, somebody dead inside a body," Cardi continued. "I kept telling people, 'I just wanna die, I just wish I was dead, I wanna be dead.'"
She said she "couldn't escape" her mind. Offset did his best to help by taking her away from the chaos, including a vacation to the Dominican Republic.
"People from my management was calling me," Cardi also stated, noting they were concerned. "It was really bad. It's terrible when people are making fun of you."
