A pop star is a fan of this Miami sushi place. So they just named a roll in her honor

Uchi Miami hearts Camila Cabello and the feeling is mutual.

The pop star, 27, sang about the Wynwood eatery in one of the latest tracks off her new album “C, XOXO,” so they decided to return the favor.

Fans can now order the “Dream Girls” sushi roll but it’s unknown whether it will be a permanent menu item.

“Brought the Fuji to Uchi, f--k a phone out. Tan lines, white wine for the burnout,” read the lyrics of Cabello’s ode to the Magic City. “Worldwide, but she reppin’ for the hometown. Flew the girls to the Bahamas for the night. It’s a short life, so we’re goin’ all out.”

Back in July, the former Fifth Harmony member dined at the local Japanese hot spot, giving it a shout-out on her Instagram stories.

The roll is a cool mix of ingredients, just like her. It contains ebi tempura, pickled mango and papaya, avocado, miso (soybean paste), plantain furikake (a dry condiment) and a Thai basil kick.

The cost is $18.50, but the selfie? Priceless.
