Just Be Real- Cardi B Tells Industry Colleagues Over Features
In a recent interview with the Spout Podcast, which gained widespread attention on October 9th, Cardi B expressed insightful views.
The accomplished artist conveyed her desire for authenticity from her industry peers rather than an obligatory sense of loyalty. She emphasized that, while she does not expect unwavering allegiance from those seeking to collaborate with her, she does value genuine interactions.
“If I like you, and I meet you, and we do a song, I don’t expect you to, like, pick a side or anything,” she said. “You could work with whoever you want to work with. Because at the end of the day, this is a business, and you gotta look out for yourself, always.”
She continued: “Just don’t shit on me. And don’t show me that you’re a fake bitch. That’ll be breakin’ my heart. And when I see you, I’ma let you know. And when I have to express myself, I’ll express myself.”
Cardi B recently took to Twitter to post a throwback photo of her days in the strip club in the Bronx.
“If you met me in the strip club, would you still cuff me?” she asked fans, though she subsequently deleted the post.
Cardi B established her reputation by performing on the pole in various establishments in New York City. Despite her success in the music industry, some may assume that she has abandoned her origins as a stripper.
However, this is not the case. In June, the 30-year-old artist took to Twitter to inform her fans that her life as a stripper remains an integral part of her identity. The Bronx rapper revealed that whenever she visits a strip club, she still ponders the amount of money she could earn if she were still dancing.
“Every time I go to a strip club I start calculating in my head how much I would of made that night if I was still stripping,” she confessed. “I don’t know why ….I just automatically do that.”
