The studio’s clever response, plus its Twitter bio at the time, suggested Cardi’s involvement in season four of the popular thriller wasn’t necessarily off the table, and fans quickly weighed in with a Change.org petition calling for the artist to guest star.

Penn, who described his repartee with Cardi as “a thing we have now” during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, is aware of the online campaign to make her proposed You appearance a reality.

Unfortunately, Penn told the talk show’s host that he isn’t privy to any actual plans in the works to bring Cardi onto the show.

“I mean, I definitely can’t say,” he shared, while acknowledging, per the petition, they’re “changing the world, you know.” We know.
“I can’t say because I don’t know,” Penn emphasized of whether we’ll be seeing Cardi on You someday. “I actually don’t know. I’m not being coy.”
