She then went on to address thedouble standards female artists still facein the industry.
“I don’t want to be like, ‘Oh, female artists, we have it hard,’ " Cardi said. “But we do f—ing be having it mad hard! I could be bumping to one bitch’s music, and the next day, people are telling you, ‘Oh, this girl is better than Cardi. She’s gonna end Cardi.’ I hate that y’all do that. Why do you want me to argue and not like this girl?”
“N—-s be out here doing the most, being disrespectful, [but] just the other day, I was getting chewed up because I said the R-word,” she added. “Like, how you gonna cancel me for calling myself r—-ded? They want you to beMother Teresa, they want you to put out music and they want you to look a certain way. It’s like, ‘Y’all gotta chill — I’m just a regular-degular bitch, man.’ "
