The Pepsi ad is one of the most coveted spots during the game and always attracts the biggest names in showbiz. 

Last year Cindy Crawford recreated her iconic 1992 Pepsi commercial for Super Bowl 52.

Previously some of the biggest names in the industry like Madonna, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Pink and One Direction, have all taken on the role as Super Bowl spokesperson for the soda company.

Cardi will also be performing with Bruno Mars at an event on Super Bowl weekend with rumors that it will be the biggest party of the week of celebrations.
