think you're a dramatic a little bit.

I think that you are more honest than most people
that are like part of the industry, And because of that,
it makes other people talk like, who's gonna tell us
that they get diarrhea once they have a cult you?
But I think that you being honest is really refreshing
and endearing.

was in school, like I'm just too much.

There is no filter or just not a lot of
filter on you. If you have something on your mind,
it's gonna come out in your mouth.

Daniel being from the Bronx, we hear her stories all
the time, getting into fights with the girls on the
school buses. They would put lemon under their nails, so
if they scratch each other it makes it sting.
Speaker 2 (04:22):

Speaker 5 (04:23):
The Bronx?
Speaker 1 (04:23):

the project, you just wanna fight everybody. You're just mad
every day.
Speaker 2 (05:35):

Speaker 3 (06:16):
And I don't care, Like I'm like a Knicks but
I also like, like I cheer for like lebron and
like players that I like. But I'm a real diehard
Red Sox fan. It's like I'm I'm in their gang.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
But how does that?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I feel like I'm in a gang? You know, growing
up dominic it was like all the best Dominican players there.
So it's like my dad, he's a big Rest Sox fan.
A lot of my uncles are Rest Sox fans, like
I come from a Red Sox fan.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Wow, I am shocked, Daniel would people you know what?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Sometimes sometimes like people be like, oh, imagine if you've
performed for a Yankee game and stuff like that, and
it's like, I will love it, of course because the
Yankee Stadium do mean a lot to me because I
live like ten blocks from the Yankee Stadium growing up.
But then again it's like, but I will be a trader.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I get it.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
I feel you because I would never put a Red
Sox hat on my head, like in my house, that
is that does not happen.

Yes, Like I will not put a Yankee hat on
my head, not for fashion or nothing.

like the little girl me. But it's like I feel
like I keep thinking about like eighteen to twenty two
year old me that like try to figure it out

(07:59):
was one for such a long time and you're here again.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It must feel great.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It feels great.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Do you have people, maybe you little girls come up
to you and go, you know what, you have helped
me get through this. You've helped me get through that
because of your honest, forthcoming nature. I'm more like that now, Yeah,
was there someone in your child know that did that
for you, someone that you looked up to that really
kind of pulled you out of the shell.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Not really, I just had like people around that I
know that I didn't want like their hardship. Even like
when I was a dancer, like the older dancers us
would be like every four years the club get worse.
Try to get out of here before you're thirty. Stack
your money, like they'll tell you. So it's like that's
what I not look up to. But it's like try
(08:44):
like not to be in.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
That situation, right, So it wasn't always getting the advice,
it's also seeing it by, for example, like making it
for yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I gotta get out of here. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
You know what, a lot of people go through life
and they don't have any idea what's going on around that.
They don't pay attention. If you pay attention, you can
actually learn things. If you listen to people, you can
actually learn something. Yeah, all right, We've got to play
a song from am I the Drama Cardi B's new album.

However, don't you drive?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Did you ever get your license?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I don't drive.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
And you know what, lately, I've.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Been getting like cravings at a rand time, and I
just be getting so mad because it's like, if only
I knew how to drive, I could get these things.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Where would you go? Like where are you getting cravings
for eleven.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
O'clock at night? So I'm like a real ice freak, right,
ice freak? Yeah, Like I can I just eat any ice?
Because you could go too. You could go to four
different Chick fil A's, right, just because it's Chick fil A.
The ice are not gonna be the same in every location.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There's not some standards that they live on, no, because.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Like some fridges just work better than the others. So
I just know the places and it's like, wow, I
really wish I could drive and get some ice right now.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
The money you do that this is your goal, learning
how to drive, You have any car you want.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
It's getting to the point that I think it's becoming
a phobia. You're not alone, and then it's like then
people are gonna want.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Me to drive right.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Yeah, if you never learned, you never have to.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Stay safe, There is.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Nail head gun.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Is there anybody that you've met, because they say never
meet your heroes that you meet and you were so
excited and you're kind of like, well, damn not what
I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I don't really have like a hero. I just like
have people that is like, I'm just like a fan
of their music and they work, but I really don't
want to be like their friend or something like that,
like because they're just people. That is like, I know
I love your art, but I know that me and
you are very different. What would there be to talk about?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Okay, nothing at.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
All, so that it's like if we meet, we were
like hey, hey, and then it's.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Like how's the weather like one of those things.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Though. You grew up listening to someone who you just
love their music, you love their voice, and you continue
to admire their music, that's enough. Yeah, I mean I
think it actually makes them more exciting to you if
you're not finding out that they get diarrhea.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, I don't want to know that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I kind of would like to know that, but It's like,
I just want to be a fan of you, and
I don't want to be disappointed by you because it's
like you the person and that made me cry, and
you're so freaking boring and corny and your jokes sucks.
It's better to keep that, Yeah, the window down fantasy.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
That makes sense to me.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Oh, I feel like there's all kinds of relatable stuff
that you can find with people you mentioned a couple
of years ago. I think that one of the things
you notice with rich people, it doesn't matter how rich
they are, they will still steal your phone charger.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Yes, relatable. This rule will steal your phone charger.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I have forty.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You look like you look like you have it in
your mustardy yellow.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Did you bring your phone charger? I bet you can't
fight it? I got it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
They get lost all the time.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I put my name on mine. There's no I don't care.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
What do you think, Danielle.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
I know you said that you're not a fun you'd
rather be sleeping and whatever else, But I don't believe it.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I think you're like, oh no, when I when I
go out, I'm gonna have a time. Okay, if I'm
gonna what are.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
You gonna do.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Like, if you have a day off, what what does
Cardib do.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I'm either like catching up on things. I'm either with
my family because my family is fun. My family is
a good time. Like it's not like me and my
family and we just pray and go to church. No,
my family get wasted listening to music, you know, being
I'm in a relationship. So it's like, you know, like
getting crazy pregnant. Yeah, day, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Last night? We got pregnant?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Yeah, are the kids excited?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
There's another baby on the way.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Yeah, you don't sound convincing.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
No, because I'm starting to know a lot about my
daughter's character. She listens and she looks, but she don't
say nothing. She's just my her bites.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
She's processing.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yeah, but she knows.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Before you go, we gotta talk about your court date.
First of all, how do you figure out what you're
wearing the court that day? Like do people say, you know, Cardi,
you should think of wearing this and this, or you're like,
I'll wear what I want.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But I didn't wear nothing crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
No you didn't. But that was a decision, was it not?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah? Yeah, like you got it. I like to dress
like real modest, like I came here to you. You
gotta win, like the jurors side, and yeah, but it's
like that's how I really take it very serious. I'm
not trying to lose. This is my third loss with
that I want. So I did not know I was
going to be on camera. And when I found out
I was was gonna be on camera, I was like,
(14:29):
you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
It wasn't like you're going to a restaurant. This is
this was a very very private yes day for you.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yes, And I'm like, I'm tired, I'm sleeping, I'm aggravated
because you know, I'm like on an album promotion run
and everything. But God just works in so mysterious way.
People loved it and I was like okay, and I
was like, you was being so funny. I was like,
I wasn't being funny. I was being for real.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
But it was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Made sense.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Asked one question about the album real quick.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Yeah, we have to get back to the album and
then we gotta we gotta role. Okay, I gotta play
some music.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
You have a lot of collapse on this album. Which
one was the most fun or the least fun? If
you want to think about that one.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
It's a lot of them that it was like the
least fun but no, it's it's but it wasn't like
it's at all because it's just because I wanted it
like very perfection. So if the artist is writing the
hook is like, I like what you're saying, but it's
not really fitting what I want to talk about. So
(15:32):
I hate asking an artist to go back again keep
going back again, because it's like if you tell me
to go back again, be like I go one more time,
but I go it again. So that was like the
worst part of it. But the greatest part of it
was when it's like, aha, we got it perfect, thank
you so much girl. Done deal, done deal. That's the
(15:54):
only that's the only like it's like, oh, so frustrating,
but nobody gave me a hard time. It's just like
I have a vision in my head and I have
to hear it like this.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Anybody get it on the first go yes.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Lizzo, Oh I love her.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
She's been on that chair so many times. We love yes,
love it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I I want to her.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Okay A collaboration for the song safe, I'm gonna play
safe for the second.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Oh yeah, got it first right away. It's not even
like not getting it. It's just like sometimes I don't
know i'd express myself, especially when it comes like to
lovey dovey stuff. So I just be like telling them like, Okay,
this is what I hear. Listen to me. I know
it's hard to explain, and the and the artist be
like sure, I'll try again. It's like I don't know,
(16:42):
like the serve vocabularies, but I know what's in my head.
I know what melody I wanted.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It was safe, you got it, Yes, let's play it.
Yeah the album of course, am I the drama. Yeah,
Cardi B. Is so great having you here today.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Thank you, Today's your day, Today's baby was just
