Thankfully for fans of Gina Rodriguez, Jimmy Fallon is able to coax her into revealing her alter ego "Cutz" on The Tonight Show. It led to a pretty awesome clip of Rodriguez, sorry, Cutz rapping Nicki Minaj's hit "Super Bass."
During her interview with Fallon, the host told Rodriguez he wanted to ask her about Cutz. She immediately wanted to know how he knows about Cutz as if it was a big secret she was keeping.
Fallon explained that Rodriguez's friends would call her Cutz and she would go to college parties and rap under the moniker.
Rodriguez confirmed that Cutz is her alter ego along with her friend Lady Fury.
She told Fallon that they would write obvious verses but when they got to the party and people asked them to rap, they would fool them by saying "right off the dome." She and her friend were dropping rhymes all over NYU. Eventually, Fallon got down to the real reason he asked Rodriguez about Cutz; he wanted a performance.
So, Rodriguez asked for a little help from The Roots and said it would be a dream come true. They agreed and Rodriguez busted the lyrics to Minaj's "Super Bass." Minaj seems to be a go-to for women who rap.
Don't believe us? Ask Eleven from Stranger Things, she knows. You can watch Gina Rodriguez's alter ego, "Cutz" rap Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the video below.
