like I feel like this
2:02
for the past year like I just been like
2:04
more like
2:06
home mode and it feels good it feels
2:09
good when I list all of these things I
2:11
remember seeing an interview when you
2:12
were 25 and in that interview you said
2:15
you know I want money
2:18
um I want career uh I want husband I
2:20
want a husband kids and I want money
2:23
yeah uh
2:25
you got hust you got a husband you got
2:27
kids and now you got a lot of money like
2:29
in his years later I'm curious what's on
2:31
your vision board today about at 30.
2:36
um my vision board I I mean I look I
2:40
look up to a few artists
2:42
and I look up to the artist not even
2:45
just the artist just like
2:47
artists and influencers they just have
2:49
the beat I want to be there I really
2:52
that's like that's the goal to be there
2:54
but I know to be there in order to be
2:57
there
2:58
I gotta put in like grind and hustle
3:01
again like like I'm
3:03
back in 2016 2017 2018 so it's just like
3:07
I have to come out this mommy mode or
3:10
this Comfort mode and I really gotta
3:13
grind it and hustle it because I want
3:14
that bad like
3:17
I want that really bad and the mommy
3:20
mode is what's more challenging because
3:22
it that that implies that it's hard to
3:24
be in mommy mode and then go after this
3:26
and get it real bad what's more
3:29
challenging is it the Mommy Mode is it
3:31
the wife mode or is it the career
3:34
it's it's really the Mommy Mode really
3:37
because like I ha I got I got so used to
3:40
like just being with my kids and like
3:42
just being there
3:43
and like me knowing that I gotta like go
3:45
places and like grind it out like some
3:47
people you know like like some people
3:49
just think like it's like oh well why
3:51
don't you just get a tutor and this
3:52
doesn't that like to take your kid out
3:54
of like that element of like their
3:56
everyday life it's not as simple as you
3:59
think like my daughter goes to like a
4:00
school like a real school like like to
4:03
just take her out like it's like because
4:04
I gotta go to California work there for
4:07
a couple of weeks it's like not as
4:09
simple as you think like it's like it's
4:10
great but you also feel guilty like
4:12
taking her out but you also feel guilty
4:15
from being away and with with both my
4:18
kids really so that's one you know just
4:21
getting comfortable to that mommy life
4:23
like it's kind of like
4:25
it's kind of like a little hard to
4:27
balance both especially when you have
4:30
two kids now like with my first one I
4:33
was like I but now that I got two it's
4:35
like
4:37
different right yeah it's different I
4:39
heard Busta Rhymes say that um when he
4:41
did you see his speech at the BET Awards
4:43
when he talked about his regret being
4:45
that he missed out a lot of moments with
4:47
his kids yeah because he was working
4:50
hard do you fear that at all
4:52
uh I fear that but that's why I make so
4:55
much time with my kids because I don't
4:57
ever want to like like one thing like
4:59
it's like I feel like I've been working
5:02
since I was like 17 non-stop like
5:06
non-stop like I was really shaking
5:08
popping [ __ ] for like six nights a week
5:10
like for real for real like and when I
5:12
was working in a supermarket like I was
5:13
really working like six maybe seven days
5:15
a week and like like I feel like this
5:18
the most time that I have taken off like
5:20
my whole entire life and it's like I
5:22
have to take it over I I have to do this
5:25
for myself like because these are like
5:27
the memories they're like I'm gonna like
5:29
never forget like I I have forgotten
5:32
nights that I worked in the club but I
5:34
never forget the the nights that I had a
5:36
ball with my [ __ ] or like I had a
5:38
ball with like with my guy like you know
5:40
what I'm saying like I I could forget
5:42
like
5:43
like it's like damn when did when did we
5:45
did that show like when did this happen
5:47
like you could forget that but you never
5:49
forget like the really good moments or
5:51
like I don't forget no moments with my
5:53
kids so I I have to live that because I
5:56
don't want to like get old and I gave
5:58
so much to
6:00
to like my work and it's like what did I
6:03
give to myself like what Memories do I
6:06
have for myself
6:07
so I I have to do that I have to do that
6:12
you're very fortunate that you you
6:14
realize that now yeah because you really
6:17
still early in your career yeah you just
6:19
took off bigger than mostly everyone
6:22
right so but it's great that you're
6:25
figuring this out now right absolutely I
6:27
agree hi cardiac it's good to see you in
6:30
person I think the last time we talked
6:31
to you was on a zoom so it's good to see
6:33
you here
6:34
um Tracy and I talk about you a lot
6:36
we've always appreciated the fact that
6:39
you've been so embraceful to so many
6:41
female artists I think it's dope me
6:44
coming out in the era in the 90s it
6:45
wasn't always like that you know it was
6:47
a lot of back and forth a lot of pitting
6:49
females against each other and you still
6:51
have some of that today so I just want
6:53
to compliment you and commend you for
6:55
doing that you've been very abrasive and
6:57
I think it's good to have that you know
7:00
especially when you're on your career
7:01
with that being said as far as female
7:03
rappers I heard you talking earlier
7:05
about sometimes being embarrassed about
7:06
lyrics and making changes would you want
7:08
your daughter to be a female rapper one
7:10
day
7:11
if if that's what she likes if that's
7:13
what she likes and what she wants to do
7:15
like like sure
7:17
sometimes it's really hard to Vision
7:19
like my kids like doing rap because like
7:23
hip-hop to me is like relating a lot so
7:27
like I feel like if you don't have not
7:30
like it's not really like a similar
7:32
story almost like a similar background
7:34
because you know like I'm a girl from
7:37
the hood from the Bronx but if you're a
7:39
girl from the hood in Atlanta we are in
7:41
two different places and and we're two
7:43
different type of people but I still
7:45
could relate to you because you went
7:46
through like a type of struggle or like
7:48
something you don't even gotta go to a
7:50
type of show I just gotta feel you like
7:51
and it's like I feel like if you
7:54
just rap and you don't really
7:57
have like a similar not story to me but
8:01
like something that I guess like I could
8:02
feel I could feel your lyrics like
8:04
sometimes you could rap but I can't feel
8:06
your lyrics if I can't feel your lyrics
8:08
it will be weird so it's just like I
8:10
don't know like how would I feel like my
8:12
kids like um you know I'm singing like
8:15
or everything it's like they'll be
8:17
rapping about mansions and yeah yeah but
8:20
you know but me and my husband we do be
8:22
having these debates and like he just be
8:24
saying like it's like but hip-hop is not
8:27
the same anymore like somebody could
8:28
like literally like
8:30
a a guy could just
8:33
really can't be can't like live in a
8:37
mansion or like he can't do this and he
8:39
can't do that and like he got a hot ass
8:41
on that just takes off on Tick Tock or
8:44
on the Internet and like that's it like
8:46
you're popping for real like you're
8:49
and it's like yeah but I don't know I'm
8:52
like a little like more like different
8:54
or something you sound like you hard to
8:56
please
8:57
I am a little I am a little hard to
8:59
please I came in from like I am hard to
9:01
please but
9:03
um yeah I mean like
9:05
I don't know like that is something that
9:07
like I have to like
9:08
I I hip-hop to me is like a relatable
9:12
thing too yeah so I feel what you're
9:15
saying I think especially as the black
9:17
community continues to increase in our
9:22
money in our wealth and our mental
9:24
health too the one thing that is going
9:26
to always be around for humans is
9:28
adversity of any form so there's going
9:31
to be a point where I'm hoping the
9:33
majority of us are not even going to
9:34
come from the hood but we're still going
9:36
to have heartbreak you know what I mean
9:38
and that's still going to have to be
9:39
spoken about you're still going to have
9:40
to deal with self-doubt that's still
9:42
going to be spoken about I don't even
9:44
it only has to be like about heartbreak
9:48
and everything because like like when I
9:50
saw like like when I saw Missy Elliott
9:52
like and her freak on and like when I
9:55
see little Kim like when when
9:58
there wasn't really like well you know
10:01
like they have come a little bit earlier
10:03
but like when I started like
10:05
understanding like music and like I I
10:08
graduated from listening to Barney's
10:12
to like liking like like these type of
10:16
music that I could like understand now
10:17
because I'm like six years old like it's
10:20
not even like a struggle thing it's just
10:21
like something that I could just feel
10:23
like when I look at you and I hear it
10:25
and I feel it like it's like oh [ __ ]
10:27
like I don't know it's just it's just
10:30
something that is like when you see
10:32
somebody or like the demeanor and it's
10:34
like
10:35
correlates them are fogory and then like
10:37
there's people there's like correct and
10:39
it's like
10:41
more performative yeah more performative
10:43
yeah you know that got me thinking like
10:45
when um Heather was mentioning all of
10:48
the women that you've collaborated with
10:50
and like earlier I was speaking to our
10:52
producer torch and I was like bruh I was
10:55
watching the music video for tomorrow
10:57
too last night your verse verse of 2022
11:01
without a doubt but when I was watching
11:03
I was looking at the comments people
11:04
even though that came out last year
11:06
there were people who are commenting
11:08
yesterday and seeing how they're still
11:11
stuck on this and I was doing some
11:12
research and it's still like in the I
11:14
want to say top 12 most watched music
11:16
videos of this year and so I was like
11:19
dang like this is so indicative of how
11:22
cardi has always been a girl's girl this
11:25
is not like a business tactic it feels
11:27
like for you and right now we're in this
11:30
era where a lot of women want to reclaim
11:33
their femininity and they're doing that
11:35
through like embracing you know
11:38
um softness through figuring out how
11:40
they can make make more friends with
11:42
women etc etc you feel like a girl's
11:46
girl can be made or she's only born like
11:51
what type of advice would you give to a
11:53
woman who's trying to be more of a girls
11:55
girl
11:58
I don't really want to say like I'm like
12:00
a girl's girl like I I because it's like
12:03
I don't really like
12:04
because I'm I'm still like I'm still
12:08
like always like got my eye open like I
12:10
came from a woman's world you know what
12:12
I'm saying like it's like ah like first
12:14
of all going going to high school
12:17
living in the Bronx is a Survivor story
12:20
when it comes to [ __ ] like we really
12:22
10 90. 1090 is 90 [ __ ] great 10 loyal
12:27
90 Grammy so it's like this that's how I
12:30
grew up yeah for real yeah and then I
12:32
work in a strip club too like it's like
12:33
I really didn't [ __ ] with a lot of
12:35
[ __ ] like I always go in go out [ __ ]
12:38
you want to fight you want to fight and
12:39
I always stuck with my squad like my my
12:42
super best friend friends are still my
12:44
best friends and like they always been
12:46
the business I always so I'm not really
12:47
like a open open open person neither but
12:51
um when it comes to like collabing with
12:53
these girls I I simply collaborate with
12:56
them because I just like I really like
12:58
their music like I like their music like
13:00
it's like
13:01
like I'ma like their music before I like
13:04
a meals male artist music because I'm a
13:07
girl so like that [ __ ] that they saying
13:09
like I'm relating and I'm like I put in
13:12
my tongue I like it's like that's why I
13:14
collab with them because I feel like
13:15
they're dope like it's like the [ __ ]
13:17
you're saying I like to listen to I want
13:19
to listen to it
13:21
I just don't I
13:23
I do songs with them because I like
13:26
their music and I want you know if I
13:28
like your music like I want to work with
13:30
you because I like your music but in the
13:32
back of my head sometimes I do be scared
13:33
because I don't want to get burned like
13:35
like at the end of the day like I don't
13:37
want to get burnt and like it's like
13:39
once I like you and I [ __ ] with you I
13:41
really [ __ ] with you so I feel like if
13:43
you do some funny [ __ ] to me like I take
13:45
[ __ ] real personal and it's like I stay
13:47
quiet but once you do some funny [ __ ]
13:49
like I really take that [ __ ] to the
13:51
heart and it's like I I might not even
13:54
have like a personal problem with you
13:55
but when I see you I'ma tell you about
13:57
yourself like because I really don't
13:58
like that you did that so
14:02
it's it's a little scary because like
14:05
you could you you are you a fan of these
14:07
people music like I'm a fan of your
14:10
music and I like and I want a
14:12
collaborate with you because I'm a fan
14:13
of your music but then it's like it's
14:14
almost like risky because
14:17
if I really start to like you and you
14:19
break my heart [ __ ] damn the
14:22
vulnerability like and I and I really
14:25
don't like to get burned because
14:28
I'm not even really uh I'm not like a
14:31
friendly person but like I'm really not
14:32
a person that
14:34
[ __ ] with a lot of people I don't [ __ ]
14:36
with a lot of people and that's why I
14:38
have like the same friends you don't
14:40
really see me with a lot of people like
14:42
that but luckily
14:45
I have collab with
14:47
um
14:48
with like a lot of women that I could
14:50
say that it's like I I [ __ ] with you and
14:53
like even if I don't talk with you every
14:55
single day like
14:57
if you're getting dragged on social
14:59
media [ __ ] I wanna I wanna drag for you
15:01
[ __ ] like because I [ __ ] with you like
15:03
that like [ __ ]
15:05
call me [ __ ]
15:07
cause I will I want to drag for you
15:09
[ __ ] like
15:10
because being a female artist is hard
15:13
like it's really hard like
15:16
it's really really what are some of
15:17
those things like man that's for us as
15:19
man we're not feeling all the we don't I
15:22
can see I could deduct my own self but I
15:24
don't know [ __ ] in the industry is the
15:25
same too okay speak on that what you
15:28
mean
15:28
[ __ ] in the industry like it'd be this
15:31
it's the same thing but the thing is
15:32
that like mail is not gonna show it like
15:35
on women like short more males is the
15:38
same thing but it's just like the
15:40
industry is just to me funny all the
15:41
type of way all all the way around
15:43
everybody to me is funny so it's just
15:45
like I'm really I'm really in an episode
15:47
of Power like to me the industry is the
15:50
episode of Power and it's like
15:53
it's like such a weird game because it's
15:56
like it's like you gotta play with your
15:58
patience like in the streets I could
16:01
play how I want to play like back then I
16:02
could play how I want to play like it's
16:04
like I could
16:05
I could handle you but like I can't
16:08
handle you like it's like
16:10
gotta take it I gotta just take it like
16:13
with everything not just with the
16:15
everybody though like female male
16:18
everybody like this there's a shady
16:21
there's a real shady business like [ __ ]
16:22
there's a real [ __ ] episode of
16:24
[ __ ] power [ __ ] like it's like
16:26
you're really playing a [ __ ] game
16:28
[ __ ] like you think you think like yeah
16:30
yeah you're you're a ghost and you
16:31
feeling good next thing you know
16:34
oh [ __ ] it's it's real cut though it's
16:37
real nasty this [ __ ] is nasty [ __ ] you
16:39
think the drugs in the world smoking
16:40
this [ __ ] right here nasty for real yeah
16:42
it's nastier than the drug nasty she's
16:45
nasty wow but I'm playing the game like
16:48
playing a good game you got a good hands
16:50
right you win this game Mike jumping in
16:53
okay I want to go from the music
16:54
industry in the streets to the halls of
16:56
Congress
16:57
um because I can't think of a
16:59
contemporary artist of our time who has
17:01
faced more scrutiny and censorship
17:03
questions and First Amendment and
17:05
freedom of speech since like two Live
17:08
Crew NWA
17:11
um I'm just wondering I know how you've
17:13
talked about the FCC coming down on you
17:15
but I'm just curious as an artist as a
17:18
human being as a person how does it feel
17:21
when you have politicians the federal
17:24
government coming down on you it's
17:26
different to be critiqued from
17:28
journalists from the bloggers people on
17:30
Twitter and comments but to have the
17:32
federal government come down on you I'm
17:33
just wondering how's that personally
17:35
make you feel
17:37
I just feel like
17:41
I feel like like for example like when
17:42
they were attacking me for a whop and
17:44
like saying that this is like the most
17:45
filthiest crazy song in the world I just
17:47
didn't even I don't think [ __ ] is like
17:49
the probably
17:50
I don't feel like I think like social
17:53
media probably like made it bigger than
17:55
what it is but it's like listen I have
17:57
heard some real raw nasty [ __ ]
18:00
[ __ ] from Trina and Kaya like I don't
18:03
and Little Kim like hello so it's just
18:05
like I don't understand why it was like
18:07
such a oh my gosh this is so disgraceful
18:09
they're so distasteful where I was like
18:11
I grew up listening to that [ __ ] like
18:13
it's like yeah yeah I never heard of
18:14
money coming back
18:15
[Laughter]
18:18
true like I never heard like Trina which
18:21
is a nasty fish I'm not gonna go saw his
18:22
dick just buy me [ __ ] like it's like it
18:25
wasn't even like that raw to me like
18:28
I don't know it just hmm I just yeah
18:32
it's just social media but I feel like I
18:33
get attacked but a lot a lot of
18:35
politicians because
18:38
and I had to stray away from that like I
18:40
feel like me and my dad were the same
18:42
way like we are very best invested in
18:44
like politics we are very invested in
18:47
what's going on in the world to the
18:48
point that sometimes it just drives me
18:49
crazy and it drives me like paranoid so
18:52
I feel like a lot of people
18:55
would attack me because you know like I
18:57
have like an accident on my vocabulary
18:59
or whatever the [ __ ] and they just think
19:01
that a [ __ ] is dumb but it's like I
19:02
ain't dumb [ __ ] I know what the [ __ ]
19:03
I'm saying I know what the [ __ ] I'm
19:05
saying I do my research I really read
19:06
[ __ ] I really do watch the
19:07
[ __ ] use [ __ ] like I
19:09
don't know what the [ __ ] I think I'm I'm
19:10
out here doing and [ __ ] like I'm talking
19:12
for a reason like I'm talking for a
19:14
reason because I feel like my people's
19:15
going through some [ __ ] and that's like
19:17
right now like it's like like I used to
19:19
endorse people and everything I endorse
19:20
and nobody because I feel like right now
19:22
everybody's suffering and nobody do a
19:24
[ __ ] about it
19:25
so it's like I'm really passionate about
19:27
that
19:28
so I just get attacked from that and I I
19:31
used to get so attacked so bad that I
19:34
was like I have to I have to stray away
19:35
from this like even my husband was like
19:37
you need to stop because [ __ ]
19:39
is talking about they're gonna burn our
19:41
house down [ __ ]
19:42
it gets deep like that it gets deep like
19:46
that
19:46
cardi B is here man she got the new
19:49
single Bongos featuring mag the stallion
19:52
who's also a citizen of sway in the
19:53
morning I love when y'all get together
19:55
y'all y'all batting a thousand I like
19:58
the sound of the song it reminds me of a
20:00
a indigenous place of percussions you
20:03
know when you think about how music
20:05
began and you trace it back to
20:07
traditions in Africa or different parts
20:10
of Latin America those percussions and
20:12
bungles you know kind of to me it stays
20:15
in the realm of who you are in your
20:17
background is that how you pick this
20:19
song
20:20
no well um we you know is is the beat
20:23
bong bong bong bong which is really Funk
20:26
and this funk is Brazilian and like you
20:29
know sometimes a lot of people confuse
20:30
like Funk with like are like you know
20:33
like I guess like you know like Spanish
20:34
music or like them both or something but
20:37
that sound is really funk
20:40
and um I just love it that [ __ ] just
20:42
made me want to shake my ass right away
20:44
and I'm like oh I love this even like
20:46
set like when he first heard the bee he
20:48
was like yo this is this is this this
20:51
ain't this what they be playing in the
20:53
[ __ ] clubs in New York and I'm like
20:55
uh something like that but yeah yeah
20:57
yeah it's like you you got to because as
20:59
soon as you put that I'm like all right
21:01
I'll I'll Circle back because I have a
21:04
lot of songs yeah I have a lot you got a
21:05
lot I like you're sitting on some gyms
21:08
I know we got a lot of people who want
21:10
to talk with you and I'll be remiss I'm
21:12
a big upset fan I'm an offset fan he
21:15
always has shown me nothing but love
21:18
um the whole group did it warmed my
21:21
heart when I saw quavo and set step on
21:23
that stage and perform and uh and pay
21:27
homage to their to their family you know
21:30
what I mean
21:31
um I can only imagine for the family and
21:33
I know for the world of hip for the
21:35
world of bride we love seeing that you
21:38
know it's been some tough times right
21:40
what was that day like when that came to
21:42
fruition
21:43
I mean it's so funny because I was
21:47
trying to put like the the BET Awards on
21:50
my TV so I had to watch it like on a on
21:53
like uh my phone I was crying like a lot
21:57
I was crying a lot because it just
22:00
looked so beautiful and them together
22:01
like I was crying so much like
22:05
I don't know I just you see I just like
22:07
yeah it lights up and I thought that was
22:09
a great way to honor uh takeoff we
22:12
hadn't had a chance to really do that
22:13
because of the tragedy of his loss and
22:16
then everything now else that was going
22:18
on so that kind of brought some closure
22:20
did you feel that a little bit
22:24
um I feel like it brought closure but
22:27
it's too fresh yeah it's too fresh
22:31
like
22:33
it's just so fresh and like
22:37
like it's just like a day by day thing
22:39
like it's like sometimes you're good
22:42
and those thoughts is come
22:44
and just come and it's just so fresh
22:48
yeah
22:49
that
22:50
I don't know I think
22:52
time would just bring healing for
22:55
everybody because everybody's just
22:56
really hurt yeah so hurt like
23:01
saw her and it's just like it just
23:03
doesn't feel the same
23:04
[Music]
23:06
yeah I I think and it's interesting
23:08
because as close as you were we all felt
23:10
closeness so you're right it doesn't
23:12
feel the same and I think it's a good
23:15
thing to see you out and about because
23:18
you're kind of helping bring things you
23:20
know back to the center cardi B is back
23:23
she's celebrating her music she got new
23:25
music coming out this is all healing for
23:27
us too to see you yeah and
23:30
[Music]
23:33
for the boys too
23:35
I just want them to do
23:37
to do because I know for a fact
23:40
I know for a fact that like that's what
23:43
take one I know he wants them to win
23:45
really bad
23:46
and
23:49
I don't know like
23:50
I just I just really want them to heal
23:52
because they are hurting really bad I
23:55
understand that and it takes time and
23:56
we're gonna do what we can to support it
23:58
I'm proud of you uh invasion of privacy
24:02
was such a huge smash you know
24:05
everything you've done it's a smash when
24:07
you make music now do you make it for
24:09
the charts do you make it for the
24:10
accolades so what's your motivation
24:12
behind your music now

24:16
a little bit of everything okay you know
24:18

24:20
everything because

24:25
just make it like for the charts and all
24:26
the time around this and that like it's
24:28
like I just want to make it because
24:30

24:33
like if I hear a song I want to do it I
