Penn Badgley and Cardi B are quickly becoming our new favorite (unexpected) pals.
The Gossip Girl actor and the “WAP” singer have become fast friends over Twitter during the past month thanks to a video Cardi B retweeted in which the actor complimented her social media presence. Now, Badgley just took their friendship to a whole new level by sending her a care package themed around his hit Netflix series, You.
The gift included a baseball cap with a quote from the show on it, which says: “Hello, You...” It also featured a note written in the voice of Badgley's character, Joe Goldberg, along with plenty of references to the show and Cardi B's career.
The note read, “Hello, you...My stalking and killing may make me a certified freak, seven days a week, but it also brought me to...you. Cardi B, you have a way with social media. You're meaningful. Substantive. I just like you. You're authentic and nuanced...just as you are with your music. You keep me on my toes, the ones that are left, at least. You can't be caged in, and it's refreshing.”
