New mum Cardi will be seen as a good choice to sit on the judging panel - not only for her musical talents, but also because she knows what she's doing when it comes to reality TV as the 26-year-old first rose to fame on VH1 TV show Love & Hip Hop: New York.

According to CBS News, the show is aiming to "bring together the biggest names in music to find fresh talent and help undiscovered hip-hop artists pursue their dreams," adding that Cardi, Chance The Rapper and T.I. will be the three main judges - although more well-known artists will drop in to help during each episode, which will all be an hour long.
