Cardi B appeared on ‘Hot Ones’ to eat wings and discuss various topics. One of the topics that arose was the type of content the rapper addresses in her music.
Cardi noted she isn’t for speaking about “pain” or “struggles in her music, noting she wants the music to be centered around “fun.”
The rapper said, “A lot of people tell me I should put my pain, my struggle, in my music. A lot of my pain, or struggles, or whatever the crap is going on, the masses might not be able to relate. The masses might not be able to relate. Like it’s like, oh my gosh, they’re tearing a new a**hole on Twitter on me because I said this, this, and that.”
The “Up” rapper concluded, “The average person is like, ‘Girl! Shut up! I gotta work at 7 AM in the morning.’ I gotta do this, this, and that. So it’s like, I don’t really like to make music — like I would normally do an intro, like I would just literally like to make my intro of everything — addressing all the bullshit, addressing the bitches, addressing the shit I gotta go through, and then just the whole album, just be about fun.”
