Speaker 3 (00:22):
What is going on y'all?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Morning? Sickness?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
No? No, okay, this is what I really ain't got
that this time around. I don't know if it's my
age or I don't know, because it's like God was
a girl.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Please you know we had We got a whole baby
shower uphip for Cardy. We got Golden Corral from the.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Bronx real one though not just not just like got
like just catering. They got me cakes and slushies and
a whole big yes food. I can, I can't. I
can't wait till this inter Before I can, I was
smelling it. I was like I could smell some chicken,
and my security regard talking about like it was some
(01:01):
noodles that ain't no noodles.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
They thought she was tripping.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, I could smell it you ever X. I never
ate at that Golden Corral. I want, I forgot what
state I went to that I did.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Ate Golden Corral and you got the baby shower with you.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, I got the baby showers, your ring, the bear,
raise your death.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Let me ask you a question when you look back,
why did it take eight years to drop a second album?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And you can't blame being pregnant because you'regnant, no, no.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
And that's why we wanted to tell people like it
was never because I was pregnant, because my mouth is
not pregnant. You know what I'm saying. I'm just very
like picky. Everybody always said that I dropped the ball
when I didn't release the album after wopping up, But
to be honest with you, I only had like six
songs and I was trying, but I didn't like nothing,
and it's like it shouldn't be my self, it shouldn't
(01:51):
be my second album. And then like just a whole
bunch of things that was just happening in my life,
and I just felt like I wasn't ready.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I mean it saw you thought you needed you joints.
You got pressed out at that time. Press was hard because.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Invasion of Privacy was only thirteen.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, but I I just feel like Invasion of Privacy
I just didn't put a lot of like thought in it.
Like I was just like, I have to put an
album out, I'm about to have a baby. But then
like the second one, I think I overthinkd it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But see that that's what I'm saying. That's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
When you was putting out The Gangster the Bitch mixtapes
and Invasion of Privacy, you wasn't thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
There was no pressure, like just going there and have fun.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah. I don't know why, I just overthink it. Even
I just feel like as you get older, too, do
you just overthink too much and it's just like you
just gotta do it.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Do you feel like you're still proving yourself as an artist?
Are you passed it?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh? Absolutely, especially like now with this whole second album thing.
It's just been like a whole nasty debate for the
past two months, and it's like kind of have to
prove it to them, But it's like kind of don't
have to prove nothing to nobody. But I'm motivated. I
(03:02):
feel really good.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
What the debate you're talking about? You which debate, because
there's always debates about you. Yeah, is it that people
feel like the album is too late or they don't
think that the music is going to be good?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Like what is the debate? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's just so it's just so many different things that
that that I hear, like for example, like my my
numbers prediction, or like if I don't hit a certain number,
like the label is gonna drop me, or like if
I'm a priority in the label, and all of these talks,
and it's just like, what are you talking about? Like
that is that's that's not true? Like and a lot
(03:42):
of people think that I'm not gonna go on tour,
and it's like, honey, Life Nation, give me a check.
I'm going there's there there's a there was a check
that it was given, and there was a check that
I gotta go get. I'm going to get that check.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
So what I saw you posted video we covered it
this morning of your body preparation for the tour and
you talk about the stretching and all that, But what's
going to be your mental preparation because I heard you
say you're gonna be leaving the baby's home.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, But like it's just this is like my fourth.
This is my fourth rodeo. This ain't my first secretary,
this is my fourth baby. Like you know, I just
had a baby last year, and I do have a
lot of videos. I was working out while I was pregnant,
like on my last weeks, and when I gave birth,
like in four days, I just felt like so like
(04:33):
like nothing. So it's like I not only am I
gonna prepare myself for the tour, like cause I just
have to prepare myself, like physically, so I could just
feel good. My second baby, he too, bait. He broke
me my first one. I had to stitch my last one.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
The cat.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, yeah, I ripped. I rip.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You didn't know what that happens.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
No, yeah, how did you pee?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Oh my god, CARDI hold my hand.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It was hard.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yes, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
But but that's what I'm saying, Like it's like now
things are just a little different and I'm more experienced.
Like the third one was so easy, so I'm expecting
this one to be as easy as well. In the
in the name of the Lord, like that's why I'm
like I just did last year.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I could do it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I know a lot of women will look at you,
and they say, Cardi knows how to balance it all.
She got the kids, she got the career. Has there
ever been a moment where you questioned if you could have.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It all, I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make it.
If I want something, I'm gonna make it happen. It's
just really like the how bad you want it? If
you really wanted that bad. If you want it bad,
you get up and you go get it. It ain't
no complaining, ain't no crying about it. I'm tired of this.
(05:50):
I'm tired every day. My feet hurt every single day.
But it's like, okay, if you want this to be successful,
you gotta get out there. Like is that you know?
You know this if I want it? Like, it's like,
go get it. Like it's like this is what you chose,
Like it is what it is?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Like what about people around you? You know, it's still
a business. So they was like, oh my god, she's
pregnant again with this.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So my label and Live Nation like they asked me
like it's like, hey, you know, we can move the
album to the beginning of the year and you could
like tour in the summertime. I was like, no, I'm
going to put out my album in September and we're
gonna go on tour on February. I got things to
do in the summertime. This is gonna be the schedule
and im and I'm promising you guys that I'm not
(06:39):
gonna let you down. And it's like, okay, we trust you.
And I've been showing them that.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
It's like.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I'm down and I'm doing it, and they're very motivated
and we've been like like a team, like it's like yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're doing it. The day starts off rocky and cranky,
but then when when things are turned me good and
we see the numbers that we see the vision, it's like, wow,
I'm motivated. I can't wait to push. So they've always
been supportive of me, though they never been like it's like, uh,
(07:10):
they know when I want something my work ethic, if
I really want it, they know that I'm going to
do it. The only time that I just be not
giving in my all is when I'm going through like
mental distress, and people like don't understand that. So people
would think that it's because of the kids or because
(07:30):
I'm just whatever. No, when I'm in mental distress. I
don't want to do nothing, but I feel very like
I ain't nothing really bothering me right now, Like I'm good, good,
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Have you always been that in tune with like your
mental of like I need to take a break from
work because it's easier now because Cardi B Is established,
she's a stupid star. But when in the beginning, how
did you deal with like, cause we watched you go
through things from all of your career, how did you
what's the difference now?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I didn't even you know what, I didn't even know
what it is that I was taking so many long breaks,
Like I would tell myself, like it's like, you know what,
I need to go on a hiatus for like two months.
Next thing you know, it's like, damn, I haven't put
out a song in eight months and nine months. And
I wasn't even realizing it that it was so long,
And I was because I was overthinking, I was over stressing,
(08:19):
or sometimes I was really so sad that I couldn't
even like open my mouth or think to like record,
Like I just was so unmotivated that you like telling
yourself like it's like I need a break, And then
it's like the break turns into so long and you
just be like, damn, what.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
What did I did that whole time I get to
the next step.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, and I didn't even notice or realize that it
was taking that long. I was just overthinking. I was
just too tired. I was just too side of stress.
So that was that was what's messing me up?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
What did you do?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Like, like, you know, you know we no fan can
be overwhelming? So what do you do to protect your
peace and stay grounded?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Sometimes I got the answers and sometimes I don't. But
I'll tell you one thing. I always have somebody to call.
I always got my friends, my family. I always got
somebody to call. Somebody's always there five four six three.
I could call and nobody complains. Nobody complains.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What's stressing you out? Though? Like?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Is it like the industry? Like you find yourself comparing
yourself to other people.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's not really compared. It's the industry, relationships, just just
so many things like and then they're like it will
affect me for like, it won't just affect me for
like a day, because some people would It's real easy
for people to be like, oh, just give yourself seventy
two hours. Sometimes it will mess you up for like
a week or so or longer, especially if it's if
(09:52):
it's if it's heartache, like it's like you your boy,
you can't fight that. You really can't fight that. So
it's like it's like grief. So I don't even know,
but I just know that I got somebody. They're always
telling me, like you go girl, and I'm here. I
(10:12):
feel really good. I'm in a good space right now.
I don't feel like I'm sad. I don't feel like
I'm nothing. I feel like it's like I need to
get this right now, right now.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Did this album feel therapeutic to you? Because you know
when I hear songs like Dad right out the Gate
killing these Holes. You started with Dad and you ended
with killing these holes? So did that feel good to
just get in there and express that.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Some songs on the album it was not good songs
to do. And then like some songs like that it
is me talking about like on some cocky ish like
I was really angry because I feel like a lot
a lot of these girls were trying me. And it's
like I don't like feeling tried because it's like I
(11:01):
feel like I have bee for so many girls growing
up that is really like that. And it's like, I
know you bitches are not really like that, but you
feel like you like that because right now I'm going
through this hate thing on social media, so you think
you can take advantage and everybody's gonna take your side.
But I'm gonna let you know, like it's like me,
(11:23):
you you you you not nowhere near me when it
comes to Artist Street, where it comes to nothing when
it comes to the street, like girl, I'll crush you
like you you're a little pup to me. It's not
even about but no, it's not even about being pussy
or tough this and that, because a lot of these
girls they don't care if you pussy or not. They
(11:44):
know they never gonna see you. And they're not really fighters,
but they like antagonizers like and it's like they get
off that and it's just like you gotta you gotta
know when to come at somebody. I'm gonna let you
keep trying me thinking when you try me, when you
when you are at a certain precision, and then that's
(12:06):
when I'm gonna play my position. I'm gonna talk and
I'm gonna remind you right there, because there's sometimes a
girl will come out and everybody love her and everybody's
cheering for her and everybody's rooting for her, and then
they will try you at that moment. But if you
say something back, you look like you're hating. And I'm
(12:26):
not hating. I just peeped that you try me. But
I'm gonna stay silent because one thing about it, all
the all artists, me, every artist, you're going to experience
a different tie. It happened to all of us, no
matter what genre you in, like it's going to happen.
And when that happened, I'm gonna remind you how you
try me for real, and I'm gonna remind you, like
(12:48):
it's like, you see why I have lasted so long
because you think you're so bright. You think you're bright,
but you're not that smart. I might, I might talk away,
I might do this and that, but it's like, I'm
very I'm smart, I'm very I'm very bright. I know
how to play. And now it's time for me to
get you. Because you was you was trying me at
a bad time, trying I was going through.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Pretty pretty impetty. I said on the song pretty impetty
fuck you come.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Out the gate, I'll be get Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
All right, So you said in the song you you waited,
You told her you were gonna do it on your times.
When you were ready, you do the song. You drop
it at this point though, Like I mean, so that
reignites everything, because I remember y'all were going back and forth.
Your whole thing was you felt like you just doing
this because you want my platform, you want attention, I'm
gonna give it to you, and then I'm done with it.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
This reignites it all. Like why even addresser again on
the album.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Because because you mentioned my kids trying to be cute.
There's just there's gonna be times that like people throw
shots at you, or like there's gonna be times like
you know, like when she did her little this and
it was trash, Like it's like it could have been trash.
People dragged you and I couldn't leave it at that.
But it's like everything on social media is gonna be seen.
(14:00):
So when my kids grow up one day and they
see that you mentioned them, and then they and they're
gonna ask me, like, so what you said what you did?
I'm not gonna tell my kids like, you know, I
just felt like she took the high road because she
lost because people wasn't on her side. And now I'm
not saying that to my kids. I'm like, you see
how I valiated and she it's it's more you know
what it is. I feel like last year every artist
(14:22):
was like beefing girl, Like every every artist was beefing
And I thought, and I think she was gonna get
a moment out of that because she thought that I
was copying her. And I had a conversation with her.
First we was cursing each other out. Then I had
a real conversation with her and I was like, listen,
I'm not copying you. I don't even look at you
like You're not a person that I look at or
i'm inspired by. And the conversation ended. Then she kept
(14:46):
going because of a music video and it's like, oh girl,
you definitely not on the moon board. I whatever more
or less than this bitch, right. It being a lot
of funny shit behind the scenes. Every be a lot
of funny shit behind the scenes. This producer that was
working with like my Eggs, he was telling he was
(15:09):
going around saying that I was messing with a.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Guy tape or something right now, yes.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
And I was like, what me, hell no, hell no,
But it was a lie and it was ridiculous. And
a bitch can say, you know demn so far because
I got messages when I first started talking to him,
and I was like, I have to get to the
bottom of who's saying that she was trying to plant
a seed that I was cheating on this guy with
(15:36):
a blood nigga makes you think that I'm I'm You're
not from the hood, so to you, because I'm blood,
you think that I'm like, oh, I'm pressed for mess
with That's nothing to me. That's like being around Dominicans
or something like this, like that don't mean nothing to me.
Everybody's everybody, this everybody. And then and then this is
New York. One thing about a New York person or
(15:57):
anybody they're gonna talk you was really trying to even
mess things up in my home. And it's like, damn,
you hated on me so much. You hated on me
so much. And I kept saying like it's like prove it,
prove it, show me a text, show me when I flirted,
because when I'm loyal, I'm very loyal, Like I don't text,
(16:18):
I don't flirt. I don't even look at people in
the eye because I don't even want you to thinking
that that I even like you. And you was doing
all that shit, and it's like, I I got you,
and it's like, and I know it was confirmed that
it was her that was going around with that rumor,
because when she did hear this, she kept saying like, oh,
why say how you how you like a cheat or
(16:41):
something like that. I forgot what she was saying. But
it's like, so say say who I was, Say who
I was dealing with? Say it. Oh, you just made
that up. You just made that up. You just made
that up. You was being messy, and it's a eye bitch.
Now I got a wet belt for you, and you
ain't even gonna know when it's coming.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
If you ever got hit with a web belt, got
a wet one.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
My daddy beat me with a decision cord. It made
me take a bath. So it's kind of the same thing.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
No, it's it's when you It's when you're in the
shower and your mom find out something and then she
just whipped your ass and your body's wet. I'm might
at you with a web Belt and I saw it
and then it's like you and then you thought it
was cute to put my kid's name.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You did it the right way, though, you put it out,
put it on your album. You know.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
She should be thinking Blossom because I did that song
last year, but I was so neasily because I had
I was so congested. You need to think her. You know,
when you gotta sick where you're pregnant, you you can't
recover for like three weeks, throw be messed up, noseby stuffy,
phe be fat when.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
They ended up be coming for you, Cardy.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Whether it's the fans or haters or blogs, does it
make you like second guests sharing your truth or does
it make you.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Feel like you know what I'm gonna be. I'm gonna
be more unfiltered, I'm gonna talk more.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Sometimes yes, and sometimes you know, like sometimes I just
can't help myself and I'm like, I'm gonna say what
I want to say. But sometimes I be like, I
gotta I just gotta reserve myself because I don't want
people to be like, damn, you just you just always
always always on that, You just always always on that.
So sometimes I'd be like I whatever. And then sometimes
I'd be like yo, you know what, like bitch, fuck you,
(18:22):
why are you on my dig? Like stop stop? Like
you you you you taking advantage now that you're playing
with me. And sometimes people will be like, oh, don't
give them cloud, and it's like, now I'm gonna give
you the cloud today. Fucking I need to get this
nute of my fucking chest. I gotta dig on my chest.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
That's what he said. What's the biggest thing motherhood that
has taught you about yourself? That that, like the fame
and money couldn't.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Motherhood is hard no matter how much money you have,
no matter how much how much you plan, motherhood is hard.
It also makes me, it almost makes me like not
want to like lose anything. I don't like, I don't
want to lose, Like I don't want to be a quitter,
(19:13):
Like I don't ever want my kids to be like,
oh so why you and did this? I was like,
because people is being so harsh on me, and it's
like it's giving them an example to be to like
be like, all right, so if people are being mean
to you, you automatically quit, like you automatically finished. And
I don't want to do this no more like no,
and I don't know something about it about motherhood that
(19:36):
it's just like it's just so beautiful. I love them
kids so bad, and I feel.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Like that's what you and that's that's the right thing
to do.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
That's what you was devoted to the last stage year,
even more so than anything I even think about.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You were supposed to shoot that movie with paramount. He
was like, nah, I'm not even gonna do that right now.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
But I'm not. That is something too that it's like
I don't really like to do I always tell people
like it's like I don't like sets. I don't like
waking up at a certain time. I don't I don't
like having like a set schedule. It's just this is
why I never finished college. Like it's just certain things
are just not for you. Certain responsibilities are not for you.
(20:21):
Like I have to do things my way, my time.
I don't know how people do it. And then it's
like I heard I always heard that it's like if
you start off and you do like a movie and
you do great, then the other movie that you make,
that's when you get the big coins. I don't got
time to be like I'm getting this.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Well, they should still come correct because you Cardi beat though.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Right, No, there's not like that. Not in the movie world.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
You start fresh.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
You start fresh, and it's like I'm doing all this
is hard work, getting up and leaving at a certain time.
It's hard work for me.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Like, but that's your gift.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Even before music, we all we saw you on Instagram.
He was like, yo, Cardi gonna be in TV shows,
Cardis gonna be in movie So that's not like a desire.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It I think. I think that people just this is
just my natural self. Like I'm just being my natural self.
For example, somebody I'm funny, right, so people be like
you should be a comedian. It's like that's not my
that's not what I like to do, Like cause if
I stand with a mic, I can't do a joke,
(21:26):
like I'm just talking like I ain't my fault that
would I say funny, But I can't think like the
ticket right, as.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Soon as you try to be funny, they're gonna be like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
When I try to be funny, it is not. And
then it's that I don't know how to really act,
Like I don't know how to act like when I
was taking a classes.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
It wasn't it was just like it was just like.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Like like the teacher, like there was like think about
a time when somebody died and this and that the
most thing happened to you. And it's like, nope, I
still can cry. It's not going to happen. I have
to go through some shit so I could cry. It's
just it's not my thing. It's really not my thing.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
So what's the last thing that made you cry?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I mean I could, I could. It's not that that
I don't cry. I just don't know how to cry
on cue or like or or if I have to
do a scene where I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna laugh automatically,
like I can't help myself. Like I'm just naturally dramatic,
but I don't know how to do drama. Not my thing.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
But you were making this album which one of these
songs like were what was the hardest emotionally for you
to make and rehear and be in a studio doing.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Man are you word? And because I was going through
it at that time, like I was going it's not
like it's like, oh, I was talking about something that
happened in twenty eighteen or whatever. It was happening at
that time, and I was doing it at that time,
and the hook was just so beautiful that it was
supposed to be like a female singing the hook, but
(23:07):
nobody was singing it with with with that emotion that
Dougie did it. And I'm like, I don't care if
it doesn't make sense. Rob keeping Dougie.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
So and getting into those emotions and the things that
you were experiencing while making an album, did that put
you in a place where because from what I've been
seeing anyway, you tell me if I'm wrong, the way
that you started talking about the divorce and offset and
all the things, and the way he started now, you guys,
it seems like it's a lot more peaceful on both ends. No,
it's not peacefuluid the album help, but no, it's not.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's not peaceful at all. I don't even I can't
even talk about it because it's like it's like court thing,
but it's like it is not peaceful at all. It
is not. It is not peaceful. I don't even want
to like make it into it. It's not peaceful. Just no.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
When you heard his song move on off on, what
you think I laugh.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Whatever. You let the world think what they want to think.
People see it, people see what's up about nobody. They
can't prove that I bother them.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Did hurt your feeling when he said you couldn't cook?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
No? Because do you know that now you got you?
Now you got all these bitches that cook for you.
Why used to bother me?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
And you need to be on TikTok? You never said
that you could like you were chef boy or do
you be on TikTok? Making you you know, cooking what
you cook and doing your things.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Sometimes if somebody asked me or if somebody told me
like I want I want you to cook for me,
this is what I require and stuff like that, I'll
do it. I will do it. But that was never
like a requirement. So it's like now you acting like
that was an issue. Now you got these bitses that
(25:00):
the cook Why why why can't you just out in
the papers and these bitch just cooking?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
After everything? Do you think love and marriage is still
worth it?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I think it's worth it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well you get married again, really m h.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I will get married again, but not as quick as
I got married the last time. But it's a lot
it's really a lot. It's actually disgusting.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Do you do you find any peace and independence like
when you just alone, like you're not in a relationship but nothing,
or do you have to have be in a relationship with.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Somebody When when I was when I was like completely single,
like when I just was completely single, as I could see,
I was outside with my friends, I just had my baby,
and I just had to get out of that funk.
And it's like sometimes it feels good and then sometimes
(25:55):
like you'll be in the club, like I just told
that to somebody, Like you'll be in the club and
it's three thirty and you're drunk and you're realizing that
it's like, damn, I'm going home. I'm lit, and I
literally fuck not even having somebody to fuck or something,
because sex is just sex. You don't have nobody to
talk to, and you really feel alone. And that is
(26:19):
a feeling that just comes out of nowhere. Like if
you hear adult my little love, like at the end,
she's really saying it, like it's like I'm cool with
being alone. I like to be alone. I like to
watch movies and be alone. But today I just feel
so I feel so lonely, and I feel like, am
I gonna be like lonely forever? You get those feelings
(26:41):
when you're like alone, but don't let that get you
desperate neither. You know what I'm saying. Don't let start
dating somebody and give them the box and then it's
like you give a box somebody that is gonna go
go to you and stuff like that, like or just
like it was like I gave, I gave some.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You can't even do that no more because.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I definitely can't do that. And it's not even that
I definitely can't do that, like is that I don't
really like people. I'm really a person that is, I
don't really like guys like that, like not guys like
I'm some gay big or something. But it's like the
right girl though, I'll do saying with a girl, but
(27:27):
I could never be I'm not a relationship with a
girl type of girl. It's just not my thing. I'm sorry, girl,
Like I need somebody to protect me.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
You can do what was dating?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's not like I'm I'm sorry, girl?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
What was I like?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
What was dating like when you were dating? Because we
didn't really I mean, yeah, we didn't really get to
see it much. It was literally like we just heard
about Stephan Diggs and now it's like you were locked
in What was CARDI be like in dating? Like were
you going out places where you like answering dms? How
were you even getting hooked up with people?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Like?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Were you ghosting people? What was that?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Like?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I really wasn't. I was talking to somebody for like
a little bit. I never kissed them, make out with them,
didn't even in good with them. I just I was
talking to StepN Sometimes I stopped, sometimes I didn't because
I was just so scared. I was just I just
needed my time. I needed some time. I need it.
(28:37):
I need I need a time. And then it's like,
you know what, I'm gonna give it a chance, but
I'm not gonna put too much in it. Like it's
a girl like men are weird. Not men are weird.
It's just like me. It's just it's scary. Dating is scary.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Being vulnerable with a person again after what you went through,
what you were scared of or what were you scared
of of?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Everything? Just just I don't I don't know. I was
just scared. It's scary, scared out Dan and the mean
and in your thirties and stuff like that, and letting
people in your world and and the things that people
will put in your head. But I gave it a chance.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Now I'm here, they're gonna be picking apart this album
because some of these songs sound like you're talking about
your new relationship.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, oh okay.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, because because it's like I started to feel like it. Yeah,
a lot of a lot of songs about him, because
it's like when you date and you like experiencing certain
things that it's like you haven't experienced in a long time.
Like it's like, I think I really like this guy.
Oh I got flats and stuff like that. Oh he
played with me black?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Was it the Castle?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
No, we've we've been We've been talking before before that,
So you've been talking before that. It was just really
like a talking thing talking. Sometimes we didn't. Sometimes we
It just really was getting to know each other before
you really come, before we really come in our world,
like I don't belong to you, you don't belong to me
(30:09):
when I was, now you belong to me.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I wonder if he's ready for this new world though,
because I saw him get questioned in the locker room
the other.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Day, he's a little different from he's a little different
and and and they pressed, and they world is way
different from mine to stuff like that. So but you
know what's up. You see what it is over here?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Pregnant?
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Were you were you scared when you found out that
you were pregnant? Like, were you scared about people's starts, opinions, anything?
What were you thinking when you found out?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Certain times I was scared, and then certain time I
just I just wasn't. Like because if if I want
to have a baby, and I want to have a
curve year, I'm going to I'm going to get it.
I'm gonna get everything that I want. You just gotta
you just gotta work, and you can't complain. Well you know,
(31:12):
you know the consequences. You know the consequences. Yeah, people
are gonna like like so many people have different opinions,
like yesterday was a lie. It was a lot of
bad ones. But it's like, and I understand why because
everybody have practically been with me for the past eight years.
So it's like it's like sometimes it's like base my business,
(31:33):
look with you, but it's like I can't even do
that because you you you probably you probably like probably
you want best for me or probably you don't. But
at the end of the day, like I kind of
get it. And at the end of the day, I'm
a public figure. However, like it's like it is what
it is. I did, I did my decision. I'm growing
and I and I'm happy. I'm excited.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
So when you went on h to sit down with
yel King, did you know you were going to like that?
Was you knew you were going to tell people you're
pregnant or did you in the moment just be like,
I'm just ready to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I I I wanted to talk things on my own term.
Like it's like, let me let me put out my tour,
let me put out my business, let me put out
everything on time, like everybody just like, oh, hold, first
of all, I don't ever tell if people notice, Like
I don't tell right away that I'm pregnant either. I'm
(32:27):
very superstitious. Things things just happen all the time. And
I do believe that that people speak evil on your
on your on your kids, on your life, especially when
you're pregnant. I hope the baby Cross is computing like that.
I there's there's wicked people that that really don't that
do that. So it's like I don't even like to
(32:50):
put it out there. I wasn't hiding. I couldn't hide
like I I had to work, I had ship to do,
so I ain't hiding from nobody. But it's like they
don't let me say, let me secure certain deals, let
me tell, let me tell these white folks like hey,
I got this at a certain time, like let let
me let me close it up. I want to say
(33:11):
it on my time. And I did say it on
my time. Would have been a difference if I wouldn't
just say nothing and would and I would have came
out like, hey, yeah, so I just had a baby.
It wouldn't make no difference to you because I was
gonna still happy whether I will tell you or not.
But let me do it on my thing. Damn. I
(33:32):
I just I literally have a video. I just told
my mom yesterday. I told my mom yesterday, I told
my dad three days ago. Like it's like, let me
do things on my time.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
They say my.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Dady was like boy or girl okay, And then my
mom was like, yeah, I know. I just I don't
know why you Doug. Clearly I got eyes everybody got eyes.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Yeah, well now, but.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
It's not even about like parents, like it's like even
my fans. I think my fans could probably tell that
I'm pregnant the day the day that, like, my stomach
don't even look flat because they kind of peeped there
from a hot minute ago.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Culture's birthday party is when the first time you were
in the red T shirt, it was like a long
shirt and I sent it to I was like, do
Cardi look pregnant?
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Like, no, I'm tripping, like they've been peepe Yeah. I
was like, maybe I'm tripping.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
They've been peeping. These people they know me so well.
They they've been You wouldn't even you'll be surprised the
day that they peep. And the day that they peep
is like, damn y y'all be clocking me so bad,
and you be.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Wanting to tell them to don't you.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
No, no, not really, every want to tell them, lie, no,
you're wrong, but they're not wrong.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
How do you hear at the album right? The Pleasure
principal sample? Was it hard getting Jackson the clear?
Speaker 3 (34:50):
It was? It wasn't hard, It wasn't. This is how
I know that she really likes me. Because everybody said
that it's very, very hard for them to clear anything
because I think it's like the jack Yeah, and that's
how I know they really like me. Dy even was
like asking like it's like, oh, can we do can
y'all do this? Can we do that? It's like, oh,
whatever the hell y'all want me to do?
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Like sure, But.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
I could tell she really with me because she didn't
get and it's two samples, it's too yes, it's on
my bag. Yes, like I be joking around like it's
like this I should have been Cardi feature Janet Jacket,
but she just it was just so many good ones
(35:35):
I could have picked.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Did you let her hit the record before?
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
She had to listen to it with Dan, So you
got Janet Jackson and jay Z the cruise who made
you more nervous? And could you have could you have
handled the rejection if they were like nah, I would.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I would have handled it. I would have handled it
because it's like it's not like it's not like because
it's just like me or is it personal? They don't
really do it for nobody. So I feel like because
with imaginary players, like I worked on it for a
long time that I would have if he wouldn't clear it,
(36:12):
I would have been like, I get it. But it
felt really good when he cleared it, like I was like,
they take out my record, like you really play record.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Was there ever any conversation about jen and Jackson putting
like coming on like putting, you know, singing on anything,
talking on anything, like actually being newly on the album
as well too.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
It wasn't because like the it's it's like sampled, but
like it's a little bit like I don't know, it's
like it's like different. It wouldn't have like fit. But
I do want to work with her though it for real,
for real because she really she really fuck with me
(36:53):
and I fuck with her.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Have y'all built like now y'all having conversations outside of
just that song since going through that process that having
been nication during that.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Time, I'm very shy. I don't like so so hard.
I knows that about me. I do not like talking
to artists like that.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I'd be like, yes, and you and Janet will both
be standing there whispering at each other. I'm gonna get
you out of because I know you want to eat.
But I haven't seen you spathing online a lot lately.
What made you slow that down? You ain't spath in
a minute?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I don't room. I kind of did, like I kind
of did like two weeks ago because I feel like
I'm getting picked on again.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Well the two weeks ago, I don't remember that it was.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
It was kind of mild, probably like two weeks, probably
like a week. But I don't know. I've just been
so I've just been so busy.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
When you were talking about the like the it was
going out, like the podcasters and the blogs and people
reviewing and talking about you musically, right, was that.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
It's not even talk about me, talk about everything, like everything,
like you know, like you guys, you guys talk about
you guys. You guys talk about people. But it's like
imagine if you like come every single day and talk
about one person every single day, every single time, and
then it's like, all right, you don't do it for
(38:13):
this person, so why you do it to me? But
and it's constant, and it's constant, and it's every week,
like it's like I like, like, what's up?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Now?
Speaker 3 (38:22):
You got my attention?
Speaker 4 (38:23):
For real? Is that why you did this? Rollout?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
This?
Speaker 5 (38:26):
Because a lot that from that the conversation has been
CARDI did the upper brow outlets, like you sat with
Gail King, you sat with Kelly Rowland, You're here with
the Breakfast Club, but you didn't do a lot no
upper I mean, but we are.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
We're the intersection between the righteous and the ratchet.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
But like I know, people people feel like you didn't
because of that rent that Like we've seen people have
been going to a lot of like podcasts and they're saying, which,
I know you.

much on my schedule. Like when I feel like genuine
(39:40):
love likes, I'm gonna go to him. I'm not really
like a streamer person, like I'm not up to date
to that because I'm just old, like I'm thirty three.
But I know the young kids like it, but it's
like it's not really like my thing, like even on
TikTok and stuff, like you don't see me doing TikTok dances.
Not because there's something wrong with it. I'm just I'm

Speaker 3 (41:23):
No, I don't. I just really and I really just
be talking to Charlotte mane not all the time, Like
sometimes you won't even be you wouldn't even believe the
things that we were talking about. What were we talking
about the most politics? That's right, That's what really we
were talking to most of the most of the time.
That's what we really be talking about. Like even the
other day, I was so busy, but I was gonna
hit you up. Like it's like I would have had
(41:44):
some jokes for you. I would have some joking, not
even to be messy, but like to be reasy. But
it's like, I know you could have came harder.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Come on being called a girl?
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Yeah, Like it's like why I'm being called a girl?
Like it's like you telling me that I am not
securing my woman. My woman is financially secure.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Though that's a fact.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Ain't nothing wrong with financially you nigga daughter birthday like
a fucking bar mits, but you can't fucking talk to me.
You're asking Mbia, you got a view? Have you seen
that in the house white closet. I'll never leave.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Thank you for coming to my daughter's sweet sixteen though.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
That was amazing because that is like a black ball
minch for right, Like it's flying to see black and
brown people doing it like that.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Yeah and everybody. It just made me realize, like it's
that Wow. So this is how my daughter's birthday is
gonna be sixteen white folks.
Speaker 4 (42:43):
Culture baby by sixteen.
Speaker 6 (42:50):
Yes, she's gonna be been famous for a long time
at that point, pulling up to the fashion Joe, Yeah,
it's gonna be very upper round right.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
No, it's not even it's just that, it's just you
have to be at that party so you just see
like wow, you you would just have like an understanding
of like what the schools are like over there. Yes,
so sometimes I'd be thinking like it's like, damn, my
kid don't got flavor like that. But that's why they
don't have no flavor like that.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
But you we saw culture the other day coaching.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
Yeah, we talked about it.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
But this so innocent. This so innocent. They're innocent New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
But that is interesting because you're raising your kids in
a mansion right in Jersey, but you grew up in
the Bronx. How do you make sure they don't grow
up spoiled? Because that's what I be trying to focus on.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
They spoils.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
They don't know nothing else.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
They do nothing else. But they do as you know what,
I noticed, as long as they were with their cousin,
they don't care where they're at. Because when they be
in my grandma's house or like when there was in
dr in the country, country, they they I kept calling,
like got you guys are okay? They were long as
they with their cousin, kids are okay. They just gotta
(44:04):
be with their cousins. That's the trick. They gotta be
with their cousins. They're gonna have a good time anywhere
as long as their cousins is around, their friends around.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Do you what's up with Henessy? I say, you got
our task on your arm, and it seemed like Hennessy
be on the loaf.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
I don't But I don't know why she became such
an introvert. I don't know where because my sister she
really have we're really like almost the same person, the
same person, Like we have the same attitude, the same
we talk, the same everything we do have like we
are a little different in certain ways. But she just
(44:43):
she's just like an introvert. And sometimes I wish that
she was more out there, but then it's like maybe
she shouldn't be out there because she's just she's a bomb.
My sister is a bomb. But I do be wishing
that she's like more out there.
Speaker 5 (45:03):
Because she was doing a fashion thing at one point. Yeah,
she was like designing and she was doing that. I
thought that was gonna be like her thing.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Yeah she was. She was good. What could we say
about she's just little sister. I made a joke with
my mom yesterday. I was like, for every year the
Hennessy don't have a baby, I'm gonna have one.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Damn Jesus.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
She is like, what the hell?
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Cardy and my vib didn't find the joke funny.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Being in the Bronx, keep you grounded, grounded as in
what just grounded?
Speaker 2 (45:41):
Like keep your feet on the ground. Let you know,
it's always really important. All the industry, SIAT and everything
just keeps you grounded.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Do you find your piece in when you're home in
the Bronx is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Uh, yeah, I have I have fun. I personally like
going over there because it's fun to me. Like it's
like when you like in your backyard all day you
get bored silence, and then you can't bring everybody to
your house like you can't bring it ready to your house.
I'm gonna go to the block, but you gotta know
how to be in the block. You can't do too much.
(46:14):
Like I'm not gonna go to the block and I'm
dressed up, making I've been your sweats and everything. You
will never know when I when I'm there, you just
never know. But I be there just it just feels good.
I'm chilling. I'm with my friends and you.
Speaker 4 (46:28):
Were people you know.
Speaker 5 (46:29):
Yeah, I want to go back to something you had said.
You said that you are shy around other artists, which
is hard. Okay, this is this, this why this I
was trying to.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
Get to end.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
And then you try to eat.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
No, you we just want to make sure you eat.
Speaker 5 (46:44):
Yes, I'm you said you shy around other artists and
you're kind of to yourself. Is that because you've been
like burned in the past by like trying to develop relationships.
I saw that Kelly Rowland interview where you said you
have reached out to the young girls. That's gonna come up,
and then you found out I was dealing with your
man behind your X men, behind your back.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
It's that, It's not that is one of the Oh, well,
the original question is no, I'm just naturally like shy
around people and stuff like that. And then it's like
sometimes it's like some people you just cannot relate it,
to relate with them with like if I'm in a room,
we're like a certain artist, right, and we grew up differently,
(47:26):
we grew up in different places. What are we talking about?
So it's like so I hate like that. I hate
small talk, like where are we in the eating dinner
for it? What are we talking about? I'd rather just
us be in the club. We don't got to talk
at all, just turn up and drink. I don't really
(47:49):
like what is there to talk about? Like we don't
have nothing in common for real, Like I'm m hmm.
But there is like girls thought that I feel like
I support it because I genuinely like their music and
I'm playing their music now because I need something from them.
(48:10):
I'm playing it because it's like this this song is
hot right now. There is the song that I'm putting
on repeat, and I don't I don't expect you to
kiss my ass or be on dick or nothing like that,
but it's like you supporting a bridge and bitch is
really there, don't like you, and it's like, damn, this
is why you even gotta be careful who song you playing.
(48:30):
You gotta be even careful who song you playing, because
it's like you're playing a bridge song because you like it,
and the bitch really just don't fuck with you. And
there's some bitches like it's like you asking yourself like
it was like, damn, did I did I say something
that sounded like I was sulling somebody or something And
it's like, no, you just fuck my nigga. But that's
(48:56):
that's not all. That's not all.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Is this one fourth in particular?
Speaker 3 (49:00):
No, it's a couple.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
Oh god, there's a couple.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
It's not even rap girls. No, there is rap girls.
There's a couple.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
Because you know, when you said that the other day
of the interview, it started the whole guessing game of
who you were talking about a couple.
Speaker 3 (49:12):
It's a couple, and it'd be weird too because it's
like some some some girls. It'd be weird because it's
like some girls like it's like they will even try
to be friends with your friends or try to be
friends with this and it's like what you coming around for?
What you're coming around for, it got to the point
(49:32):
that it's like I had to start policing my friends.
Like it's like, oh, this girl hit me up. Why
she hit you up? Hit up? But but but check
the temperature right, and it's like, oh, this is what
she was coming around. Bitches is weird.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
You know, it's very hard.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
You know, it's hard for men to tell other men
you hurt my feelings, and it's hard for sometimes women
just be like, y'all want to be your friend.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
I really want to.
Speaker 3 (49:58):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
I want to fuck with you.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
I want to be your peoples whoever the woman is,
whoever the whoever these persons talk about friend.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
No, they go to my other friend because they want
to know my business. But you was doing fun ship.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
Oh this is somebody already know this.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
And yeah, like it's like there you start, you start
things start to come out, and it's like, oh, this
is is weird because I got so I got I'm
very girl coded. I don't do weird ship like that.
I don't do weird stuff like that, Like I I don't.
Me and my sister we really were like that for real,
Like it's like, we don't do weird ship. If I
(50:37):
feel like I fuck with you or if I fuck
with you, I will never cross you. If I fuck
with you, like I'm very sister coded type of bitch,
which is just weird. Industry bach is weird. Everybody weird, girl, though, because.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
You could be putting these girls on blasts if you
wanted to.
Speaker 4 (50:54):
You don't be saying no names.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
Okay mm hmm. But they know I got soa they
know I, and I got receipts. So if I if
you ever try me and try to play, I have
receipts for real, I have receipts.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
So like, damn, who these women are?
Speaker 4 (51:17):
Lauren, I don't know that you don't say names. The
only I know when you said that.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
There's this's just there's just there's just a it's a couple,
it's a whole bunch.
Speaker 5 (51:26):
I'm sorry you had to go through that though. It's funny,
but it's really not funny. You shouldn't have to deal
with that, Like just being friendly or being encouraging in somebody.
That's the most craziest feeling ever, Like that's crazy, especially
because the girl might not owe you nothing, but like
your man at the time.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
Dude, No, your man, your man owes you your man owes you,
you laying down with your man owes you. But it'd
be weird. It'd be weird because it's like, hole's gonna
be holes, right, who's gonna be holes? It's gonna be bitches.
But there's girls that really like, well, be in your dm,
will really try to be your friend. We'll really try
(52:07):
to like come in your world, will really try to
do weird things like befriend your friends, will really just
like like there's a like I scrapped a song, but
this is a song that I said, like a bitch
literally hand me flowers in my hand, because there was
this one time I said with a bitch, right, and
I'm like, I feel like you had a problem on me.
It was like, no, I actually this is what I
(52:29):
This is what I actually had a problem with you
with And I'm like, that's what you try to problem
with me. This, this is not something to have a
problem about, baby, like we could have been talking about
it and this is really this is really minor, Like
are you sure? And it's like, you know what, that
was stupid. And then they gave me flowers, literally flowers,
(52:50):
and I was pregnant too with my son. Gave me
flowers and everything. Then months later I found out you
fuck this nigga. Oh god, and and stuff like that
be weird to me because it's like if a if
a bitch fuck your nigga or whatever like that. It's
like a bitch, don't owe you nothing, just stay over there,
(53:12):
just stay over there. But that's how weird and sick
bitches are, Like you're a weirdo. And as matter of fact,
how did that conversation one that day? That conversation was like, oh,
you're late, and I was like, I'm late. I was
doing things and then when like they gave me flowers,
I was like, and you know what, I'm sorry, I'm late.
I'm just going through a lot. I'm pregnant. They're like, oh,
(53:32):
you're pregnant, isn't that And then it's like I kept
telling myself, this is why niggas be fuck niggas, like
because you can always blame it on the bitch, But this,
how much bitches is weird? Like, so you gave me
flowers that I'm pregnant, and then I find out muchs
later that you fuck my nigga. You bitches are fucking
your host is crazy, y'alls is crazy you know, they
(53:55):
know I know that girl.
Speaker 4 (53:57):
Did you go back and y'all had a conversation about
it after.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
No, I don't have to have a conversation no more.
I know, and you know that I know, and you
know I have the receipts, the real receipts, and I
don't even play with receipts. I got them receipts. If
I don't, if I don't even have the receipts, I
wouldn't talk about it because I have to prove it.
I like to prove it. But it's like, it's just
like this is why it's like, oh my gosh, I
want to stay away from everybody, everybody. And it's not
(54:22):
even about that's just a nigga thing, this bitches. That
it is like I support it. That it's like I
support you because, like I said, I like you, and
all of a sudden, you you subbing me and you
playing internet games to appease certain people. And it's like
I ain't never even did nothing to you, bitch. You
(54:44):
know what everybody got turned?
Speaker 1 (54:49):
You're still cool with a lot of the rap girls, right.
Speaker 3 (54:53):
There is a lot of there's a lot of like
the rap.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
Girls like Glow glowsy cousin.
Speaker 3 (54:58):
Glow, I fuck with glob clothes. I'm never gonna talk
about it. One day, probably in ten years i'll talk
about it. She did some real, real, real bitch shit
that was like, I appreciate this bitch Megan. I don't
really talk to Megan much, but it's like I'm always
appreciate the fact that, like when I told her to
come through, she would come through and not just like, oh,
(55:18):
here's a verse, Like she would really like, Hey, not
only do I need a verse from you, I need
like ten days of rehearsals and I need just so
we can make it great. Of course she don't have to,
but she does it, and I always appreciate that. Like
when you make time with a feature artist and they
putting that effort that they don't have to do. I
(55:40):
will forever appreciate that, because me I just want to
get a verse done and if we do a music video,
we do a music video. She put her time everything
any So I appreciate that. I like Lado A Lah.
She's very like, she's very honest, she's very cool, she's
(56:00):
very sweet girl. She gave me back.
Speaker 1 (56:03):
So, so why did you ask this my last because
why did you ask yourself?
Speaker 2 (56:06):
Am I the Drama? And I like that you're holding
yourself accountable, you know, for what you might be on.
But why did you ask yourself that question?
Speaker 3 (56:15):
I mean because I just always feel like I just
always feel like she just always come to me, or
like I said, like it's like there will be people
that just don't like me, or they will like pick
on me or something because you're on top. But it
always been like that, even when I was like in
(56:36):
high school.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
You've always been on top, regardless of the money, your personality,
the fact that people naturally gravitate towards you, the fact
that people naturally like you. You know, some motherfuckers will
hate you just because of how everybody else love you.
Speaker 3 (56:47):
Yes, and that's why it's like, damn, am I the Drama?
Am I? The Ones? Is it me? Jesus? Like it's like, yes,
why always? Why am always Like It's like it's like
things could go a certain type of way for me,
but it's just not going to go. It's like I
don't know if I chase the bad things, I don't
know if the bad things is be I don't think.
But I'm also very blessed to it like it's like
(57:09):
maybe I'll be thinking is because my it is my personality.
It is because like my voice just stand out and
it always been like that, which is as it's God,
it's God. It's a blessing. It's accurs sometimes it occurs,
but it's really like a blessing because sometimes I feel
like I get it harder than than most. And I
don't care if people say that they don't see it.
(57:32):
They know it, they know it. I really get it
hard harder than most. But then I then again, I
am very blessed. And some people might think that it's like, well,
she don't get that much because she's still here and
she stays in certain things, and it's like maybe I
am blessed or maybe I just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (57:52):
Well, don't spend all day looking at the motherfucking comments.
Speaker 2 (57:54):
No, no, no, Let the album come out. Let people
have their opinion, and you keep it the fuck moving.
Speaker 3 (57:59):
Okay, Yeah, I'm so happy that I got this. I'm
so happy I got this album. It was really good,
really happy.
Speaker 1 (58:07):
And when you do okay, I tell you.
Speaker 4 (58:12):
You'll beat out the boy your girl yeah or no,
I do know this.
Speaker 3 (58:15):
Is no, no, no, you know, I always I always
say when the baby is born, I always revealed the gender.
I always do it. I always do that. I mean,
(58:35):
I don't. I don't. I feel like certain people they
will wait bad long. It takes time, like I always
do it, Like when I get birth, then like probably
like six months later. Yeah, it's always like six months later.
I always show my baby, you know, and developed look
a little funny. My son was fucking funny looking.
Speaker 5 (58:53):
When you want because you said you're gonna give this
man a sign, I was like, oh, it's a little boy.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
I don't know, like I'm just enjoyed a moment.
Speaker 3 (59:31):
I'm enjoying it. Well, I can't really enjoy it because
I'm tired as hell and I got a lot of
work to do. I gotta go to all these all
these meeting greets and stuff. That's what I'm like, Oh God,

gonna do it. But I woke up this morning I
wanted like to cry, and I'm like, what I do
want to cry for?
Speaker 1 (59:50):
He's the joy?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Please you know we had We got a whole baby
shower uphip for Cardy. We got Golden Corral from the.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Bronx real one though not just not just like got
like just catering. They got me cakes and slushies and
a whole big yes food. I can, I can't. I
can't wait till this inter Before I can, I was
smelling it. I was like I could smell some chicken,
and my security regard talking about like it was some
(01:01):
noodles that ain't no noodles.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
They thought she was tripping.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, I could smell it you ever X. I never
ate at that Golden Corral. I want, I forgot what
state I went to that I did.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Ate Golden Corral and you got the baby shower with you.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, I got the baby showers, your ring, the bear,
raise your death.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Let me ask you a question when you look back,
why did it take eight years to drop a second album?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And you can't blame being pregnant because you'regnant, no, no.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
And that's why we wanted to tell people like it
was never because I was pregnant, because my mouth is
not pregnant. You know what I'm saying. I'm just very
like picky. Everybody always said that I dropped the ball
when I didn't release the album after wopping up, But
to be honest with you, I only had like six
songs and I was trying, but I didn't like nothing,
and it's like it shouldn't be my self, it shouldn't
(01:51):
be my second album. And then like just a whole
bunch of things that was just happening in my life,
and I just felt like I wasn't ready.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I mean it saw you thought you needed you joints.
You got pressed out at that time. Press was hard because.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Invasion of Privacy was only thirteen.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, but I I just feel like Invasion of Privacy
I just didn't put a lot of like thought in it.
Like I was just like, I have to put an
album out, I'm about to have a baby. But then
like the second one, I think I overthinkd it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But see that that's what I'm saying. That's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
When you was putting out The Gangster the Bitch mixtapes
and Invasion of Privacy, you wasn't thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
There was no pressure, like just going there and have fun.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah. I don't know why, I just overthink it. Even
I just feel like as you get older, too, do
you just overthink too much and it's just like you
just gotta do it.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Do you feel like you're still proving yourself as an artist?
Are you passed it?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh? Absolutely, especially like now with this whole second album thing.
It's just been like a whole nasty debate for the
past two months, and it's like kind of have to
prove it to them, But it's like kind of don't
have to prove nothing to nobody. But I'm motivated. I
(03:02):
feel really good.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
What the debate you're talking about? You which debate, because
there's always debates about you. Yeah, is it that people
feel like the album is too late or they don't
think that the music is going to be good?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Like what is the debate? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's just so it's just so many different things that
that that I hear, like for example, like my my
numbers prediction, or like if I don't hit a certain number,
like the label is gonna drop me, or like if
I'm a priority in the label, and all of these talks,
and it's just like, what are you talking about? Like
that is that's that's not true? Like and a lot
(03:42):
of people think that I'm not gonna go on tour,
and it's like, honey, Life Nation, give me a check.
I'm going there's there there's a there was a check
that it was given, and there was a check that
I gotta go get. I'm going to get that check.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
So what I saw you posted video we covered it
this morning of your body preparation for the tour and
you talk about the stretching and all that, But what's
going to be your mental preparation because I heard you
say you're gonna be leaving the baby's home.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, But like it's just this is like my fourth.
This is my fourth rodeo. This ain't my first secretary,
this is my fourth baby. Like you know, I just
had a baby last year, and I do have a
lot of videos. I was working out while I was pregnant,
like on my last weeks, and when I gave birth,
like in four days, I just felt like so like
(04:33):
like nothing. So it's like I not only am I
gonna prepare myself for the tour, like cause I just
have to prepare myself, like physically, so I could just
feel good. My second baby, he too, bait. He broke
me my first one. I had to stitch my last one.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
The cat.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, yeah, I ripped. I rip.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You didn't know what that happens.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
No, yeah, how did you pee?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Oh my god, CARDI hold my hand.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It was hard.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yes, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
But but that's what I'm saying, Like it's like now
things are just a little different and I'm more experienced.
Like the third one was so easy, so I'm expecting
this one to be as easy as well. In the
in the name of the Lord, like that's why I'm
like I just did last year.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I could do it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I know a lot of women will look at you,
and they say, Cardi knows how to balance it all.
She got the kids, she got the career. Has there
ever been a moment where you questioned if you could have.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It all, I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make it.
If I want something, I'm gonna make it happen. It's
just really like the how bad you want it? If
you really wanted that bad. If you want it bad,
you get up and you go get it. It ain't
no complaining, ain't no crying about it. I'm tired of this.
(05:50):
I'm tired every day. My feet hurt every single day.
But it's like, okay, if you want this to be successful,
you gotta get out there. Like is that you know?
You know this if I want it? Like, it's like,
go get it. Like it's like this is what you chose,
Like it is what it is?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Like what about people around you? You know, it's still
a business. So they was like, oh my god, she's
pregnant again with this.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So my label and Live Nation like they asked me
like it's like, hey, you know, we can move the
album to the beginning of the year and you could
like tour in the summertime. I was like, no, I'm
going to put out my album in September and we're
gonna go on tour on February. I got things to
do in the summertime. This is gonna be the schedule
and im and I'm promising you guys that I'm not
(06:39):
gonna let you down. And it's like, okay, we trust you.
And I've been showing them that.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
It's like.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I'm down and I'm doing it, and they're very motivated
and we've been like like a team, like it's like yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're doing it. The day starts off rocky and cranky,
but then when when things are turned me good and
we see the numbers that we see the vision, it's like, wow,
I'm motivated. I can't wait to push. So they've always
been supportive of me, though they never been like it's like, uh,
(07:10):
they know when I want something my work ethic, if
I really want it, they know that I'm going to
do it. The only time that I just be not
giving in my all is when I'm going through like
mental distress, and people like don't understand that. So people
would think that it's because of the kids or because
(07:30):
I'm just whatever. No, when I'm in mental distress. I
don't want to do nothing, but I feel very like
I ain't nothing really bothering me right now, Like I'm good, good,
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Have you always been that in tune with like your
mental of like I need to take a break from
work because it's easier now because Cardi B Is established,
she's a stupid star. But when in the beginning, how
did you deal with like, cause we watched you go
through things from all of your career, how did you
what's the difference now?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I didn't even you know what, I didn't even know
what it is that I was taking so many long breaks,
Like I would tell myself, like it's like, you know what,
I need to go on a hiatus for like two months.
Next thing you know, it's like, damn, I haven't put
out a song in eight months and nine months. And
I wasn't even realizing it that it was so long,
And I was because I was overthinking, I was over stressing,
(08:19):
or sometimes I was really so sad that I couldn't
even like open my mouth or think to like record,
Like I just was so unmotivated that you like telling
yourself like it's like I need a break, And then
it's like the break turns into so long and you
just be like, damn, what.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
What did I did that whole time I get to
the next step.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, and I didn't even notice or realize that it
was taking that long. I was just overthinking. I was
just too tired. I was just too side of stress.
So that was that was what's messing me up?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
What did you do?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Like, like, you know, you know we no fan can
be overwhelming? So what do you do to protect your
peace and stay grounded?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Sometimes I got the answers and sometimes I don't. But
I'll tell you one thing. I always have somebody to call.
I always got my friends, my family. I always got
somebody to call. Somebody's always there five four six three.
I could call and nobody complains. Nobody complains.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What's stressing you out? Though? Like?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Is it like the industry? Like you find yourself comparing
yourself to other people.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's not really compared. It's the industry, relationships, just just
so many things like and then they're like it will
affect me for like, it won't just affect me for
like a day, because some people would It's real easy
for people to be like, oh, just give yourself seventy
two hours. Sometimes it will mess you up for like
a week or so or longer, especially if it's if
(09:52):
it's if it's heartache, like it's like you your boy,
you can't fight that. You really can't fight that. So
it's like it's like grief. So I don't even know,
but I just know that I got somebody. They're always
telling me, like you go girl, and I'm here. I
(10:12):
feel really good. I'm in a good space right now.
I don't feel like I'm sad. I don't feel like
I'm nothing. I feel like it's like I need to
get this right now, right now.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Did this album feel therapeutic to you? Because you know
when I hear songs like Dad right out the Gate
killing these Holes. You started with Dad and you ended
with killing these holes? So did that feel good to
just get in there and express that.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Some songs on the album it was not good songs
to do. And then like some songs like that it
is me talking about like on some cocky ish like
I was really angry because I feel like a lot
a lot of these girls were trying me. And it's
like I don't like feeling tried because it's like I
(11:01):
feel like I have bee for so many girls growing
up that is really like that. And it's like, I
know you bitches are not really like that, but you
feel like you like that because right now I'm going
through this hate thing on social media, so you think
you can take advantage and everybody's gonna take your side.
But I'm gonna let you know, like it's like me,
(11:23):
you you you you not nowhere near me when it
comes to Artist Street, where it comes to nothing when
it comes to the street, like girl, I'll crush you
like you you're a little pup to me. It's not
even about but no, it's not even about being pussy
or tough this and that, because a lot of these
girls they don't care if you pussy or not. They
(11:44):
know they never gonna see you. And they're not really fighters,
but they like antagonizers like and it's like they get
off that and it's just like you gotta you gotta
know when to come at somebody. I'm gonna let you
keep trying me thinking when you try me, when you
when you are at a certain precision, and then that's
(12:06):
when I'm gonna play my position. I'm gonna talk and
I'm gonna remind you right there, because there's sometimes a
girl will come out and everybody love her and everybody's
cheering for her and everybody's rooting for her, and then
they will try you at that moment. But if you
say something back, you look like you're hating. And I'm
(12:26):
not hating. I just peeped that you try me. But
I'm gonna stay silent because one thing about it, all
the all artists, me, every artist, you're going to experience
a different tie. It happened to all of us, no
matter what genre you in, like it's going to happen.
And when that happened, I'm gonna remind you how you
try me for real, and I'm gonna remind you, like
(12:48):
it's like, you see why I have lasted so long
because you think you're so bright. You think you're bright,
but you're not that smart. I might, I might talk away,
I might do this and that, but it's like, I'm
very I'm smart, I'm very I'm very bright. I know
how to play. And now it's time for me to
get you. Because you was you was trying me at
a bad time, trying I was going through.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Pretty pretty impetty. I said on the song pretty impetty
fuck you come.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Out the gate, I'll be get Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
All right, So you said in the song you you waited,
You told her you were gonna do it on your times.
When you were ready, you do the song. You drop
it at this point though, Like I mean, so that
reignites everything, because I remember y'all were going back and forth.
Your whole thing was you felt like you just doing
this because you want my platform, you want attention, I'm
gonna give it to you, and then I'm done with it.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
This reignites it all. Like why even addresser again on
the album.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Because because you mentioned my kids trying to be cute.
There's just there's gonna be times that like people throw
shots at you, or like there's gonna be times like
you know, like when she did her little this and
it was trash, Like it's like it could have been trash.
People dragged you and I couldn't leave it at that.
But it's like everything on social media is gonna be seen.
(14:00):
So when my kids grow up one day and they
see that you mentioned them, and then they and they're
gonna ask me, like, so what you said what you did?
I'm not gonna tell my kids like, you know, I
just felt like she took the high road because she
lost because people wasn't on her side. And now I'm
not saying that to my kids. I'm like, you see
how I valiated and she it's it's more you know
what it is. I feel like last year every artist
(14:22):
was like beefing girl, Like every every artist was beefing
And I thought, and I think she was gonna get
a moment out of that because she thought that I
was copying her. And I had a conversation with her.
First we was cursing each other out. Then I had
a real conversation with her and I was like, listen,
I'm not copying you. I don't even look at you
like You're not a person that I look at or
i'm inspired by. And the conversation ended. Then she kept
(14:46):
going because of a music video and it's like, oh girl,
you definitely not on the moon board. I whatever more
or less than this bitch, right. It being a lot
of funny shit behind the scenes. Every be a lot
of funny shit behind the scenes. This producer that was
working with like my Eggs, he was telling he was
(15:09):
going around saying that I was messing with a.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Guy tape or something right now, yes.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
And I was like, what me, hell no, hell no,
But it was a lie and it was ridiculous. And
a bitch can say, you know demn so far because
I got messages when I first started talking to him,
and I was like, I have to get to the
bottom of who's saying that she was trying to plant
a seed that I was cheating on this guy with
(15:36):
a blood nigga makes you think that I'm I'm You're
not from the hood, so to you, because I'm blood,
you think that I'm like, oh, I'm pressed for mess
with That's nothing to me. That's like being around Dominicans
or something like this, like that don't mean nothing to me.
Everybody's everybody, this everybody. And then and then this is
New York. One thing about a New York person or
(15:57):
anybody they're gonna talk you was really trying to even
mess things up in my home. And it's like, damn,
you hated on me so much. You hated on me
so much. And I kept saying like it's like prove it,
prove it, show me a text, show me when I flirted,
because when I'm loyal, I'm very loyal, Like I don't text,
(16:18):
I don't flirt. I don't even look at people in
the eye because I don't even want you to thinking
that that I even like you. And you was doing
all that shit, and it's like, I I got you,
and it's like, and I know it was confirmed that
it was her that was going around with that rumor,
because when she did hear this, she kept saying like, oh,
why say how you how you like a cheat or
(16:41):
something like that. I forgot what she was saying. But
it's like, so say say who I was, Say who
I was dealing with? Say it. Oh, you just made
that up. You just made that up. You just made
that up. You was being messy, and it's a eye bitch.
Now I got a wet belt for you, and you
ain't even gonna know when it's coming.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
If you ever got hit with a web belt, got
a wet one.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
My daddy beat me with a decision cord. It made
me take a bath. So it's kind of the same thing.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
No, it's it's when you It's when you're in the
shower and your mom find out something and then she
just whipped your ass and your body's wet. I'm might
at you with a web Belt and I saw it
and then it's like you and then you thought it
was cute to put my kid's name.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You did it the right way, though, you put it out,
put it on your album. You know.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
She should be thinking Blossom because I did that song
last year, but I was so neasily because I had
I was so congested. You need to think her. You know,
when you gotta sick where you're pregnant, you you can't
recover for like three weeks, throw be messed up, noseby stuffy,
phe be fat when.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
They ended up be coming for you, Cardy.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Whether it's the fans or haters or blogs, does it
make you like second guests sharing your truth or does
it make you.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Feel like you know what I'm gonna be. I'm gonna
be more unfiltered, I'm gonna talk more.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Sometimes yes, and sometimes you know, like sometimes I just
can't help myself and I'm like, I'm gonna say what
I want to say. But sometimes I be like, I
gotta I just gotta reserve myself because I don't want
people to be like, damn, you just you just always
always always on that, You just always always on that.
So sometimes I'd be like I whatever. And then sometimes
I'd be like yo, you know what, like bitch, fuck you,
(18:22):
why are you on my dig? Like stop stop? Like
you you you you taking advantage now that you're playing
with me. And sometimes people will be like, oh, don't
give them cloud, and it's like, now I'm gonna give
you the cloud today. Fucking I need to get this
nute of my fucking chest. I gotta dig on my chest.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
That's what he said. What's the biggest thing motherhood that
has taught you about yourself? That that, like the fame
and money couldn't.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Motherhood is hard no matter how much money you have,
no matter how much how much you plan, motherhood is hard.
It also makes me, it almost makes me like not
want to like lose anything. I don't like, I don't
want to lose, Like I don't want to be a quitter,
(19:13):
Like I don't ever want my kids to be like,
oh so why you and did this? I was like,
because people is being so harsh on me, and it's
like it's giving them an example to be to like
be like, all right, so if people are being mean
to you, you automatically quit, like you automatically finished. And
I don't want to do this no more like no,
and I don't know something about it about motherhood that
(19:36):
it's just like it's just so beautiful. I love them
kids so bad, and I feel.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Like that's what you and that's that's the right thing
to do.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
That's what you was devoted to the last stage year,
even more so than anything I even think about.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You were supposed to shoot that movie with paramount. He
was like, nah, I'm not even gonna do that right now.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
But I'm not. That is something too that it's like
I don't really like to do I always tell people
like it's like I don't like sets. I don't like
waking up at a certain time. I don't I don't
like having like a set schedule. It's just this is
why I never finished college. Like it's just certain things
are just not for you. Certain responsibilities are not for you.
(20:21):
Like I have to do things my way, my time.
I don't know how people do it. And then it's
like I heard I always heard that it's like if
you start off and you do like a movie and
you do great, then the other movie that you make,
that's when you get the big coins. I don't got
time to be like I'm getting this.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Well, they should still come correct because you Cardi beat though.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Right, No, there's not like that. Not in the movie world.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
You start fresh.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
You start fresh, and it's like I'm doing all this
is hard work, getting up and leaving at a certain time.
It's hard work for me.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Like, but that's your gift.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Even before music, we all we saw you on Instagram.
He was like, yo, Cardi gonna be in TV shows,
Cardis gonna be in movie So that's not like a desire.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It I think. I think that people just this is
just my natural self. Like I'm just being my natural self.
For example, somebody I'm funny, right, so people be like
you should be a comedian. It's like that's not my
that's not what I like to do, Like cause if
I stand with a mic, I can't do a joke,
(21:26):
like I'm just talking like I ain't my fault that
would I say funny, But I can't think like the
ticket right, as.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Soon as you try to be funny, they're gonna be like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
When I try to be funny, it is not. And
then it's that I don't know how to really act,
Like I don't know how to act like when I
was taking a classes.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
It wasn't it was just like it was just like.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Like like the teacher, like there was like think about
a time when somebody died and this and that the
most thing happened to you. And it's like, nope, I
still can cry. It's not going to happen. I have
to go through some shit so I could cry. It's
just it's not my thing. It's really not my thing.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
So what's the last thing that made you cry?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I mean I could, I could. It's not that that
I don't cry. I just don't know how to cry
on cue or like or or if I have to
do a scene where I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna laugh automatically,
like I can't help myself. Like I'm just naturally dramatic,
but I don't know how to do drama. Not my thing.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
But you were making this album which one of these
songs like were what was the hardest emotionally for you
to make and rehear and be in a studio doing.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Man are you word? And because I was going through
it at that time, like I was going it's not
like it's like, oh, I was talking about something that
happened in twenty eighteen or whatever. It was happening at
that time, and I was doing it at that time,
and the hook was just so beautiful that it was
supposed to be like a female singing the hook, but
(23:07):
nobody was singing it with with with that emotion that
Dougie did it. And I'm like, I don't care if
it doesn't make sense. Rob keeping Dougie.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
So and getting into those emotions and the things that
you were experiencing while making an album, did that put
you in a place where because from what I've been
seeing anyway, you tell me if I'm wrong, the way
that you started talking about the divorce and offset and
all the things, and the way he started now, you guys,
it seems like it's a lot more peaceful on both ends. No,
it's not peacefuluid the album help, but no, it's not.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's not peaceful at all. I don't even I can't
even talk about it because it's like it's like court thing,
but it's like it is not peaceful at all. It
is not. It is not peaceful. I don't even want
to like make it into it. It's not peaceful. Just no.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
When you heard his song move on off on, what
you think I laugh.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Whatever. You let the world think what they want to think.
People see it, people see what's up about nobody. They
can't prove that I bother them.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Did hurt your feeling when he said you couldn't cook?
Speaker 3 (24:17):
No? Because do you know that now you got you?
Now you got all these bitches that cook for you.
Why used to bother me?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
And you need to be on TikTok? You never said
that you could like you were chef boy or do
you be on TikTok? Making you you know, cooking what
you cook and doing your things.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Sometimes if somebody asked me or if somebody told me
like I want I want you to cook for me,
this is what I require and stuff like that, I'll
do it. I will do it. But that was never
like a requirement. So it's like now you acting like
that was an issue. Now you got these bitses that
(25:00):
the cook Why why why can't you just out in
the papers and these bitch just cooking?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
After everything? Do you think love and marriage is still
worth it?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I think it's worth it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well you get married again, really m h.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I will get married again, but not as quick as
I got married the last time. But it's a lot
it's really a lot. It's actually disgusting.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Do you do you find any peace and independence like
when you just alone, like you're not in a relationship but nothing,
or do you have to have be in a relationship with.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Somebody When when I was when I was like completely single,
like when I just was completely single, as I could see,
I was outside with my friends, I just had my baby,
and I just had to get out of that funk.
And it's like sometimes it feels good and then sometimes
(25:55):
like you'll be in the club, like I just told
that to somebody, Like you'll be in the club and
it's three thirty and you're drunk and you're realizing that
it's like, damn, I'm going home. I'm lit, and I
literally fuck not even having somebody to fuck or something,
because sex is just sex. You don't have nobody to
talk to, and you really feel alone. And that is
(26:19):
a feeling that just comes out of nowhere. Like if
you hear adult my little love, like at the end,
she's really saying it, like it's like I'm cool with
being alone. I like to be alone. I like to
watch movies and be alone. But today I just feel
so I feel so lonely, and I feel like, am
I gonna be like lonely forever? You get those feelings
(26:41):
when you're like alone, but don't let that get you
desperate neither. You know what I'm saying. Don't let start
dating somebody and give them the box and then it's
like you give a box somebody that is gonna go
go to you and stuff like that, like or just
like it was like I gave, I gave some.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You can't even do that no more because.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I definitely can't do that. And it's not even that
I definitely can't do that, like is that I don't
really like people. I'm really a person that is, I
don't really like guys like that, like not guys like
I'm some gay big or something. But it's like the
right girl though, I'll do saying with a girl, but
(27:27):
I could never be I'm not a relationship with a
girl type of girl. It's just not my thing. I'm sorry, girl,
Like I need somebody to protect me.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
You can do what was dating?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's not like I'm I'm sorry, girl?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
What was I like?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (27:49):
What was dating like when you were dating? Because we
didn't really I mean, yeah, we didn't really get to
see it much. It was literally like we just heard
about Stephan Diggs and now it's like you were locked
in What was CARDI be like in dating? Like were
you going out places where you like answering dms? How
were you even getting hooked up with people?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Like?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Were you ghosting people? What was that?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Like?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I really wasn't. I was talking to somebody for like
a little bit. I never kissed them, make out with them,
didn't even in good with them. I just I was
talking to StepN Sometimes I stopped, sometimes I didn't because
I was just so scared. I was just I just
needed my time. I needed some time. I need it.
(28:37):
I need I need a time. And then it's like,
you know what, I'm gonna give it a chance, but
I'm not gonna put too much in it. Like it's
a girl like men are weird. Not men are weird.
It's just like me. It's just it's scary. Dating is scary.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Being vulnerable with a person again after what you went through,
what you were scared of or what were you scared
of of?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Everything? Just just I don't I don't know. I was
just scared. It's scary, scared out Dan and the mean
and in your thirties and stuff like that, and letting
people in your world and and the things that people
will put in your head. But I gave it a chance.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Now I'm here, they're gonna be picking apart this album
because some of these songs sound like you're talking about
your new relationship.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, oh okay.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, because because it's like I started to feel like it. Yeah,
a lot of a lot of songs about him, because
it's like when you date and you like experiencing certain
things that it's like you haven't experienced in a long time.
Like it's like, I think I really like this guy.
Oh I got flats and stuff like that. Oh he
played with me black?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Was it the Castle?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
No, we've we've been We've been talking before before that,
So you've been talking before that. It was just really
like a talking thing talking. Sometimes we didn't. Sometimes we
It just really was getting to know each other before
you really come, before we really come in our world,
like I don't belong to you, you don't belong to me
(30:09):
when I was, now you belong to me.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I wonder if he's ready for this new world though,
because I saw him get questioned in the locker room
the other.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Day, he's a little different from he's a little different
and and and they pressed, and they world is way
different from mine to stuff like that. So but you
know what's up. You see what it is over here?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Pregnant?
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Were you were you scared when you found out that
you were pregnant? Like, were you scared about people's starts, opinions, anything?
What were you thinking when you found out?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Certain times I was scared, and then certain time I
just I just wasn't. Like because if if I want
to have a baby, and I want to have a
curve year, I'm going to I'm going to get it.
I'm gonna get everything that I want. You just gotta
you just gotta work, and you can't complain. Well you know,
(31:12):
you know the consequences. You know the consequences. Yeah, people
are gonna like like so many people have different opinions,
like yesterday was a lie. It was a lot of
bad ones. But it's like, and I understand why because
everybody have practically been with me for the past eight years.
So it's like it's like sometimes it's like base my business,
(31:33):
look with you, but it's like I can't even do
that because you you you probably you probably like probably
you want best for me or probably you don't. But
at the end of the day, like I kind of
get it. And at the end of the day, I'm
a public figure. However, like it's like it is what
it is. I did, I did my decision. I'm growing
and I and I'm happy. I'm excited.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
So when you went on h to sit down with
yel King, did you know you were going to like that?
Was you knew you were going to tell people you're
pregnant or did you in the moment just be like,
I'm just ready to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I I I wanted to talk things on my own term.
Like it's like, let me let me put out my tour,
let me put out my business, let me put out
everything on time, like everybody just like, oh, hold, first
of all, I don't ever tell if people notice, Like
I don't tell right away that I'm pregnant either. I'm
(32:27):
very superstitious. Things things just happen all the time. And
I do believe that that people speak evil on your
on your on your kids, on your life, especially when
you're pregnant. I hope the baby Cross is computing like that.
I there's there's wicked people that that really don't that
do that. So it's like I don't even like to
(32:50):
put it out there. I wasn't hiding. I couldn't hide
like I I had to work, I had ship to do,
so I ain't hiding from nobody. But it's like they
don't let me say, let me secure certain deals, let
me tell, let me tell these white folks like hey,
I got this at a certain time, like let let
me let me close it up. I want to say
(33:11):
it on my time. And I did say it on
my time. Would have been a difference if I wouldn't
just say nothing and would and I would have came
out like, hey, yeah, so I just had a baby.
It wouldn't make no difference to you because I was
gonna still happy whether I will tell you or not.
But let me do it on my thing. Damn. I
(33:32):
I just I literally have a video. I just told
my mom yesterday. I told my mom yesterday, I told
my dad three days ago. Like it's like, let me
do things on my time.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
They say my.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Dady was like boy or girl okay, And then my
mom was like, yeah, I know. I just I don't
know why you Doug. Clearly I got eyes everybody got eyes.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Yeah, well now, but.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
It's not even about like parents, like it's like even
my fans. I think my fans could probably tell that
I'm pregnant the day the day that, like, my stomach
don't even look flat because they kind of peeped there
from a hot minute ago.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Culture's birthday party is when the first time you were
in the red T shirt, it was like a long
shirt and I sent it to I was like, do
Cardi look pregnant?
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Like, no, I'm tripping, like they've been peepe Yeah. I
was like, maybe I'm tripping.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
They've been peeping. These people they know me so well.
They they've been You wouldn't even you'll be surprised the
day that they peep. And the day that they peep
is like, damn y y'all be clocking me so bad,
and you be.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Wanting to tell them to don't you.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
No, no, not really, every want to tell them, lie, no,
you're wrong, but they're not wrong.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
How do you hear at the album right? The Pleasure
principal sample? Was it hard getting Jackson the clear?
Speaker 3 (34:50):
It was? It wasn't hard, It wasn't. This is how
I know that she really likes me. Because everybody said
that it's very, very hard for them to clear anything
because I think it's like the jack Yeah, and that's
how I know they really like me. Dy even was
like asking like it's like, oh, can we do can
y'all do this? Can we do that? It's like, oh,
whatever the hell y'all want me to do?
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Like sure, But.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
I could tell she really with me because she didn't
get and it's two samples, it's too yes, it's on
my bag. Yes, like I be joking around like it's
like this I should have been Cardi feature Janet Jacket,
but she just it was just so many good ones
(35:35):
I could have picked.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Did you let her hit the record before?
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
She had to listen to it with Dan, So you
got Janet Jackson and jay Z the cruise who made
you more nervous? And could you have could you have
handled the rejection if they were like nah, I would.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I would have handled it. I would have handled it
because it's like it's not like it's not like because
it's just like me or is it personal? They don't
really do it for nobody. So I feel like because
with imaginary players, like I worked on it for a
long time that I would have if he wouldn't clear it,
(36:12):
I would have been like, I get it. But it
felt really good when he cleared it, like I was like,
they take out my record, like you really play record.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Was there ever any conversation about jen and Jackson putting
like coming on like putting, you know, singing on anything,
talking on anything, like actually being newly on the album
as well too.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
It wasn't because like the it's it's like sampled, but
like it's a little bit like I don't know, it's
like it's like different. It wouldn't have like fit. But
I do want to work with her though it for real,
for real because she really she really fuck with me
(36:53):
and I fuck with her.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Have y'all built like now y'all having conversations outside of
just that song since going through that process that having
been nication during that.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Time, I'm very shy. I don't like so so hard.
I knows that about me. I do not like talking
to artists like that.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I'd be like, yes, and you and Janet will both
be standing there whispering at each other. I'm gonna get
you out of because I know you want to eat.
But I haven't seen you spathing online a lot lately.
What made you slow that down? You ain't spath in
a minute?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I don't room. I kind of did, like I kind
of did like two weeks ago because I feel like
I'm getting picked on again.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Well the two weeks ago, I don't remember that it was.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
It was kind of mild, probably like two weeks, probably
like a week. But I don't know. I've just been
so I've just been so busy.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
When you were talking about the like the it was
going out, like the podcasters and the blogs and people
reviewing and talking about you musically, right, was that.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
It's not even talk about me, talk about everything, like everything,
like you know, like you guys, you guys talk about
you guys. You guys talk about people. But it's like
imagine if you like come every single day and talk
about one person every single day, every single time, and
then it's like, all right, you don't do it for
(38:13):
this person, so why you do it to me? But
and it's constant, and it's constant, and it's every week,
like it's like I like, like, what's up?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Now?
Speaker 3 (38:22):
You got my attention?
Speaker 4 (38:23):
For real? Is that why you did this? Rollout?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
This?
Speaker 5 (38:26):
Because a lot that from that the conversation has been
CARDI did the upper brow outlets, like you sat with
Gail King, you sat with Kelly Rowland, You're here with
the Breakfast Club, but you didn't do a lot no
upper I mean, but we are.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
We're the intersection between the righteous and the ratchet.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
But like I know, people people feel like you didn't
because of that rent that Like we've seen people have
been going to a lot of like podcasts and they're saying, which,
I know you.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
You're gonna do a stream, right I had?
Speaker 2 (38:51):

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I did podcast though they just haven't come yet. Oh okay,
I did do some podcasts, but I'm gonna do podcasts
with people that like me, Like why do I gotta
stay with podcasters that I don't like? I'm going I'm

(39:13):
You don't like me? And it is what it is?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Then dare are you pregnant? So you can't swing on
nobody if you want to?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
No, it's I cannot hit people. Then, Like I see
a lot of people going like to streamer stuff. I
really like. I like Fanel, so I'm planning to to
to do a stream with him, like when I real
soon thought, not like right now because I have so
much on my schedule. Like when I feel like genuine
(39:40):
love likes, I'm gonna go to him. I'm not really
like a streamer person, like I'm not up to date
to that because I'm just old, like I'm thirty three.
But I know the young kids like it, but it's
like it's not really like my thing, like even on
TikTok and stuff, like you don't see me doing TikTok dances.
Not because there's something wrong with it. I'm just I'm
just a little older and i just don't know how
(40:02):
to do that shit. Do this video goddamn time gonna
tie already, Like what I like and what I see
on my on my on my timeline, that's up. That's
who I'm gonna go to. Like if I like you,
I'm gonna go to Yougnant. I guess I cannot even
say pregnant because I've been doing everything. I have literally
(40:25):
done everything and anything, like even after those days in court,
I was still doing ship like I have six am
mornings to all the way like today, Like I woke
up today at six am. My night was gonna finish
at three am because that's when my party finished. Then
tomorrow I have to wake up and I have to
do these meet and greets, and I have to meet
about four or five thousand people. Like it's like it
(40:47):
just don't stop for me. But it's like, I'm not
gonna go to podcasters that I don't like. Why am
I gonna go sit down with you? You don't fuck like
when you talk mas shit about me. You contribute, You constribute,
like contribute to to to my pain, you contribute like
to my pressure. So why am I gonna sit down
with your ass? I'm gonna sit down with people not

with people becass your eyes. No, I like positive people.
I like people that make me feel good. I like
people that like you know what. I like them. I
have to hang out with them. But I don't like you.
Why am I sitting down with you to prove what point?
Speaker 1 (41:19):
You know? People think you actually pay me, They think
you pay me to talk good.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
No, I don't. I just really and I really just
be talking to Charlotte mane not all the time, Like
sometimes you won't even be you wouldn't even believe the
things that we were talking about. What were we talking
about the most politics? That's right, That's what really we
were talking to most of the most of the time.
That's what we really be talking about. Like even the
other day, I was so busy, but I was gonna
hit you up. Like it's like I would have had
(41:44):
some jokes for you. I would have some joking, not
even to be messy, but like to be reasy. But
it's like, I know you could have came harder.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Come on being called a girl?
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Yeah, Like it's like why I'm being called a girl?
Like it's like you telling me that I am not
securing my woman. My woman is financially secure.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Though that's a fact.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Ain't nothing wrong with financially you nigga daughter birthday like
a fucking bar mits, but you can't fucking talk to me.
You're asking Mbia, you got a view? Have you seen
that in the house white closet. I'll never leave.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Thank you for coming to my daughter's sweet sixteen though.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
That was amazing because that is like a black ball
minch for right, Like it's flying to see black and
brown people doing it like that.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Yeah and everybody. It just made me realize, like it's
that Wow. So this is how my daughter's birthday is
gonna be sixteen white folks.
Speaker 4 (42:43):
Culture baby by sixteen.
Speaker 6 (42:50):
Yes, she's gonna be been famous for a long time
at that point, pulling up to the fashion Joe, Yeah,
it's gonna be very upper round right.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
No, it's not even it's just that, it's just you
have to be at that party so you just see
like wow, you you would just have like an understanding
of like what the schools are like over there. Yes,
so sometimes I'd be thinking like it's like, damn, my
kid don't got flavor like that. But that's why they
don't have no flavor like that.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
But you we saw culture the other day coaching.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
Yeah, we talked about it.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
But this so innocent. This so innocent. They're innocent New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
But that is interesting because you're raising your kids in
a mansion right in Jersey, but you grew up in
the Bronx. How do you make sure they don't grow
up spoiled? Because that's what I be trying to focus on.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
They spoils.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
They don't know nothing else.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
They do nothing else. But they do as you know what,
I noticed, as long as they were with their cousin,
they don't care where they're at. Because when they be
in my grandma's house or like when there was in
dr in the country, country, they they I kept calling,
like got you guys are okay? They were long as
they with their cousin, kids are okay. They just gotta
(44:04):
be with their cousins. That's the trick. They gotta be
with their cousins. They're gonna have a good time anywhere
as long as their cousins is around, their friends around.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Do you what's up with Henessy? I say, you got
our task on your arm, and it seemed like Hennessy
be on the loaf.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
I don't But I don't know why she became such
an introvert. I don't know where because my sister she
really have we're really like almost the same person, the
same person, Like we have the same attitude, the same
we talk, the same everything we do have like we
are a little different in certain ways. But she just
(44:43):
she's just like an introvert. And sometimes I wish that
she was more out there, but then it's like maybe
she shouldn't be out there because she's just she's a bomb.
My sister is a bomb. But I do be wishing
that she's like more out there.
Speaker 5 (45:03):
Because she was doing a fashion thing at one point. Yeah,
she was like designing and she was doing that. I
thought that was gonna be like her thing.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Yeah she was. She was good. What could we say
about she's just little sister. I made a joke with
my mom yesterday. I was like, for every year the
Hennessy don't have a baby, I'm gonna have one.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Damn Jesus.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
She is like, what the hell?
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Cardy and my vib didn't find the joke funny.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Being in the Bronx, keep you grounded, grounded as in
what just grounded?
Speaker 2 (45:41):
Like keep your feet on the ground. Let you know,
it's always really important. All the industry, SIAT and everything
just keeps you grounded.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Do you find your piece in when you're home in
the Bronx is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Uh, yeah, I have I have fun. I personally like
going over there because it's fun to me. Like it's
like when you like in your backyard all day you
get bored silence, and then you can't bring everybody to
your house like you can't bring it ready to your house.
I'm gonna go to the block, but you gotta know
how to be in the block. You can't do too much.
(46:14):
Like I'm not gonna go to the block and I'm
dressed up, making I've been your sweats and everything. You
will never know when I when I'm there, you just
never know. But I be there just it just feels good.
I'm chilling. I'm with my friends and you.
Speaker 4 (46:28):
Were people you know.
Speaker 5 (46:29):
Yeah, I want to go back to something you had said.
You said that you are shy around other artists, which
is hard. Okay, this is this, this why this I
was trying to.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
Get to end.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
And then you try to eat.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
No, you we just want to make sure you eat.
Speaker 5 (46:44):
Yes, I'm you said you shy around other artists and
you're kind of to yourself. Is that because you've been
like burned in the past by like trying to develop relationships.
I saw that Kelly Rowland interview where you said you
have reached out to the young girls. That's gonna come up,
and then you found out I was dealing with your
man behind your X men, behind your back.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
It's that, It's not that is one of the Oh, well,
the original question is no, I'm just naturally like shy
around people and stuff like that. And then it's like
sometimes it's like some people you just cannot relate it,
to relate with them with like if I'm in a room,
we're like a certain artist, right, and we grew up differently,
(47:26):
we grew up in different places. What are we talking about?
So it's like so I hate like that. I hate
small talk, like where are we in the eating dinner
for it? What are we talking about? I'd rather just
us be in the club. We don't got to talk
at all, just turn up and drink. I don't really
(47:49):
like what is there to talk about? Like we don't
have nothing in common for real, Like I'm m hmm.
But there is like girls thought that I feel like
I support it because I genuinely like their music and
I'm playing their music now because I need something from them.
(48:10):
I'm playing it because it's like this this song is
hot right now. There is the song that I'm putting
on repeat, and I don't I don't expect you to
kiss my ass or be on dick or nothing like that,
but it's like you supporting a bridge and bitch is
really there, don't like you, and it's like, damn, this
is why you even gotta be careful who song you playing.
(48:30):
You gotta be even careful who song you playing, because
it's like you're playing a bridge song because you like it,
and the bitch really just don't fuck with you. And
there's some bitches like it's like you asking yourself like
it was like, damn, did I did I say something
that sounded like I was sulling somebody or something And
it's like, no, you just fuck my nigga. But that's
(48:56):
that's not all. That's not all.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Is this one fourth in particular?
Speaker 3 (49:00):
No, it's a couple.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
Oh god, there's a couple.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
It's not even rap girls. No, there is rap girls.
There's a couple.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
Because you know, when you said that the other day
of the interview, it started the whole guessing game of
who you were talking about a couple.
Speaker 3 (49:12):
It's a couple, and it'd be weird too because it's
like some some some girls. It'd be weird because it's
like some girls like it's like they will even try
to be friends with your friends or try to be
friends with this and it's like what you coming around for?
What you're coming around for, it got to the point
(49:32):
that it's like I had to start policing my friends.
Like it's like, oh, this girl hit me up. Why
she hit you up? Hit up? But but but check
the temperature right, and it's like, oh, this is what
she was coming around. Bitches is weird.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
You know, it's very hard.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
You know, it's hard for men to tell other men
you hurt my feelings, and it's hard for sometimes women
just be like, y'all want to be your friend.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
I really want to.
Speaker 3 (49:58):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
I want to fuck with you.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
I want to be your peoples whoever the woman is,
whoever the whoever these persons talk about friend.
Speaker 3 (50:05):
No, they go to my other friend because they want
to know my business. But you was doing fun ship.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
Oh this is somebody already know this.
Speaker 3 (50:12):
And yeah, like it's like there you start, you start
things start to come out, and it's like, oh, this
is is weird because I got so I got I'm
very girl coded. I don't do weird ship like that.
I don't do weird stuff like that, Like I I don't.
Me and my sister we really were like that for real,
Like it's like, we don't do weird ship. If I
(50:37):
feel like I fuck with you or if I fuck
with you, I will never cross you. If I fuck
with you, like I'm very sister coded type of bitch,
which is just weird. Industry bach is weird. Everybody weird, girl, though, because.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
You could be putting these girls on blasts if you
wanted to.
Speaker 4 (50:54):
You don't be saying no names.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
Okay mm hmm. But they know I got soa they
know I, and I got receipts. So if I if
you ever try me and try to play, I have
receipts for real, I have receipts.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
So like, damn, who these women are?
Speaker 4 (51:17):
Lauren, I don't know that you don't say names. The
only I know when you said that.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
There's this's just there's just there's just a it's a couple,
it's a whole bunch.
Speaker 5 (51:26):
I'm sorry you had to go through that though. It's funny,
but it's really not funny. You shouldn't have to deal
with that, Like just being friendly or being encouraging in somebody.
That's the most craziest feeling ever, Like that's crazy, especially
because the girl might not owe you nothing, but like
your man at the time.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
Dude, No, your man, your man owes you your man owes you,
you laying down with your man owes you. But it'd
be weird. It'd be weird because it's like, hole's gonna
be holes, right, who's gonna be holes? It's gonna be bitches.
But there's girls that really like, well, be in your dm,
will really try to be your friend. We'll really try
(52:07):
to like come in your world, will really try to
do weird things like befriend your friends, will really just
like like there's a like I scrapped a song, but
this is a song that I said, like a bitch
literally hand me flowers in my hand, because there was
this one time I said with a bitch, right, and
I'm like, I feel like you had a problem on me.
It was like, no, I actually this is what I
(52:29):
This is what I actually had a problem with you
with And I'm like, that's what you try to problem
with me. This, this is not something to have a
problem about, baby, like we could have been talking about
it and this is really this is really minor, Like
are you sure? And it's like, you know what, that
was stupid. And then they gave me flowers, literally flowers,
(52:50):
and I was pregnant too with my son. Gave me
flowers and everything. Then months later I found out you
fuck this nigga. Oh god, and and stuff like that
be weird to me because it's like if a if
a bitch fuck your nigga or whatever like that. It's
like a bitch, don't owe you nothing, just stay over there,
(53:12):
just stay over there. But that's how weird and sick
bitches are, Like you're a weirdo. And as matter of fact,
how did that conversation one that day? That conversation was like, oh,
you're late, and I was like, I'm late. I was
doing things and then when like they gave me flowers,
I was like, and you know what, I'm sorry, I'm late.
I'm just going through a lot. I'm pregnant. They're like, oh,
(53:32):
you're pregnant, isn't that And then it's like I kept
telling myself, this is why niggas be fuck niggas, like
because you can always blame it on the bitch, But this,
how much bitches is weird? Like, so you gave me
flowers that I'm pregnant, and then I find out muchs
later that you fuck my nigga. You bitches are fucking
your host is crazy, y'alls is crazy you know, they
(53:55):
know I know that girl.
Speaker 4 (53:57):
Did you go back and y'all had a conversation about
it after.
Speaker 3 (54:00):
No, I don't have to have a conversation no more.
I know, and you know that I know, and you
know I have the receipts, the real receipts, and I
don't even play with receipts. I got them receipts. If
I don't, if I don't even have the receipts, I
wouldn't talk about it because I have to prove it.
I like to prove it. But it's like, it's just
like this is why it's like, oh my gosh, I
want to stay away from everybody, everybody. And it's not
(54:22):
even about that's just a nigga thing, this bitches. That
it is like I support it. That it's like I
support you because, like I said, I like you, and
all of a sudden, you you subbing me and you
playing internet games to appease certain people. And it's like
I ain't never even did nothing to you, bitch. You
(54:44):
know what everybody got turned?
Speaker 1 (54:49):
You're still cool with a lot of the rap girls, right.
Speaker 3 (54:53):
There is a lot of there's a lot of like
the rap.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
Girls like Glow glowsy cousin.
Speaker 3 (54:58):
Glow, I fuck with glob clothes. I'm never gonna talk
about it. One day, probably in ten years i'll talk
about it. She did some real, real, real bitch shit
that was like, I appreciate this bitch Megan. I don't
really talk to Megan much, but it's like I'm always
appreciate the fact that, like when I told her to
come through, she would come through and not just like, oh,
(55:18):
here's a verse, Like she would really like, Hey, not
only do I need a verse from you, I need
like ten days of rehearsals and I need just so
we can make it great. Of course she don't have to,
but she does it, and I always appreciate that. Like
when you make time with a feature artist and they
putting that effort that they don't have to do. I
(55:40):
will forever appreciate that, because me I just want to
get a verse done and if we do a music video,
we do a music video. She put her time everything
any So I appreciate that. I like Lado A Lah.
She's very like, she's very honest, she's very cool, she's
(56:00):
very sweet girl. She gave me back.
Speaker 1 (56:03):
So, so why did you ask this my last because
why did you ask yourself?
Speaker 2 (56:06):
Am I the Drama? And I like that you're holding
yourself accountable, you know, for what you might be on.
But why did you ask yourself that question?
Speaker 3 (56:15):
I mean because I just always feel like I just
always feel like she just always come to me, or
like I said, like it's like there will be people
that just don't like me, or they will like pick
on me or something because you're on top. But it
always been like that, even when I was like in
(56:36):
high school.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
You've always been on top, regardless of the money, your personality,
the fact that people naturally gravitate towards you, the fact
that people naturally like you. You know, some motherfuckers will
hate you just because of how everybody else love you.
Speaker 3 (56:47):
Yes, and that's why it's like, damn, am I the Drama?
Am I? The Ones? Is it me? Jesus? Like it's like, yes,
why always? Why am always Like It's like it's like
things could go a certain type of way for me,
but it's just not going to go. It's like I
don't know if I chase the bad things, I don't
know if the bad things is be I don't think.
But I'm also very blessed to it like it's like
(57:09):
maybe I'll be thinking is because my it is my personality.
It is because like my voice just stand out and
it always been like that, which is as it's God,
it's God. It's a blessing. It's accurs sometimes it occurs,
but it's really like a blessing because sometimes I feel
like I get it harder than than most. And I
don't care if people say that they don't see it.
(57:32):
They know it, they know it. I really get it
hard harder than most. But then I then again, I
am very blessed. And some people might think that it's like, well,
she don't get that much because she's still here and
she stays in certain things, and it's like maybe I
am blessed or maybe I just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (57:52):
Well, don't spend all day looking at the motherfucking comments.
Speaker 2 (57:54):

have their opinion, and you keep it the fuck moving.

say when the baby is born, I always revealed the gender.

(58:35):

will wait bad long. It takes time, like I always
do it, Like when I get birth, then like probably
like six months later. Yeah, it's always like six months later.
