The Breakfast Club. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. Shalameen, the guy, Jess Alarious, DJ NB. Jess and NB on here today. But Lauren LaRosa is, and we got a very special guest. her sophomore album is finally out today Amadic drama Big Body Cardi B, what's happening?

What is going on, y'all? How you feel? I'm tired. Morning sickness? No, no. Okay. This one is, 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, I was like, girl, please. You know, we got a whole baby shower up here for Cardi. We got Golden Corral from the Bronx. A real one, though. Not just like just catering. They got me cakes and slushies and a whole big food. I can't, oh, I can wait till this interview for me. I was smelling it.

I was like, I could smell some chicken. And my security guard talking about like, it was some noodles. That ain't no noodles. They thought you was tripping. Yeah, I could smell it. You ever ate that golden crowd before in the Bronx? I never ate at that golden corral. Okay.

I went, I forgot what state I was. went to that I did A Golden Corral. And you got the baby shower chair? Yeah, I got the baby shower. She'll, oh, the baby shower, buddy. Bring the bear ready shirt down. Let me ask you a question. When you look back, why did it take eight years to drop a second album?

And you can't blame being pregnant because you're pregnant now. No, 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 whopping 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 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 how many songs you thought you needed do you had joints press out at that time press was hard because invasion of privacy was only 13

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 overthinked it. But see, that's what I'm saying. That's a good thing. When you was putting out the gangster bitch mixtapes and invasion of privacy, you wasn't thinking about it. There was no pressure. Like, just going there and have fun. Yeah. I don't

know why I just overthink it. Even, I just feel like, as you get older, too, you just overthink too much. And it's just like, you just got to do it. Do you feel like you're still proving yourself as an artist? Or you passed there? 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 feel really good what you the debate you talk about you which debate because there's always debates about you is it that people feel like the album is

too late or they don't think that the music is going to be good like what is the debate exactly it's just so it's just so many different things that that that that i hear like for example like my number's prediction or like if i don't hit a certain number like the label's going to 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 of people think that I'm not going to go on tour and it's like honey Life Nation gave me a check I'm going there's a there was a check that it was given

and there was a check that I got to go get I'm going to get that check so I saw you post a 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 going to be leaving the baby's home me yeah but like it's just this is like my fourth this is my fourth rodeo this ain't my first

second baby 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 um when i gave birth like in four days i just felt like so like like nothing so it's like i not only am i going to prepare myself for the tour like it's like i just have to prepare myself for the tour like i just have to prepare like physically so I could just feel good my second baby he too big he broke me my first one I had to stitch my last one down there the cat oh she ain't had no kids yet so she yeah I ripped I rip you didn't know that happens no yeah how did you pee huh oh my god cardie hold my hand it was hard yes I'm so sorry but 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 name of the Lord. Like that's why I'm like, I did it. I just did last year. I could do it. I know a lot of women who 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 it all? I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. If I want something, I'm going to make it happen. It's just really like 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 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 it's like you know crying You know this If I want it like It's like This is what you chose

like it is what it is like what about people around you though because you know it's still a business so they was like oh my god she's pregnant again with this 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 going to go on tour on February I got things to do in the summertime. This is going to be the schedule. And I'm, and I'm promising you guys that I'm not going to let you down. And it's like, okay, we trust you. And I've been showing them that it's like, 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 things are turning good and we see the numbers and we see the vision is like wow I'm motivated I can't wait to push so they always been supported of me though they never been like it's like uh they know 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 is when I'm going through like mental distress and people like don't understand that so people will think that it's because of the kids or because 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 that's good have you always been on 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 superstar but when in the beginning how did you deal with like because we've watched you go through things from all of your career how did you what's the difference now I didn't even you know what I didn't even notice that I was taking so many long break 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 overstressing 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 because like I need a break and then it's like the break turns into so long and you just be like, damn, what did I did that whole time?

Trying to get to the next step. 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 tired of stress. So that was what messing me up.

What did you do? Like, you know, we know fan can be overwhelming so what do you do to protect your peace and stay grounded? sometimes I got the answers and sometimes I don't. But I 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.

What's stressing you out, though? Like, is it like the industry? Like, do you find yourself comparing yourself to other people? it's not really compare the industry relationships

just just so many things like and then like it will affect me for like it won't just affect me

for like a day because some people will it's real easy for people to be like oh just give yourself 72 hours

sometimes it will mess you up for like a week or so or longer especially if it's if it's heartache like it's like you

boy you can't fight that you really can't fight that so it's like grief it's like grief so i don't even know but i just know that i got somebody there always telling me like you go girl and i'm here i 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 did this album feel therapeutic to you because you know and I hear songs like dead right out the gate killing these holes.

You started with dead and you ended with killing these holes. So did that feel good to just get in there and express that? Some songs in the album, it was not good songs to do. And then like some songs like that it is me talking about like on some some cocky-ish. Like I was really angry because I feel like a lot of these. girls were trying me and it's like I don't like feeling try because it's like I feel like I have beef with 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 that because right now I'm going through

this hate thing on social media so you think you can take advantage and everybody's going to take your side but I'm going to let you know like it's like me you you you you you You're not nowhere near me When it comes to artistry When it comes to nothing When it comes to the street Like girl, I'll crush you Like you are little puffs in 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 and not They know they're never going to see you And they're not really fighters

But they're like antagonizers And it's like They get off that And it's just like you gotta know when to come at somebody I'm gonna let you keep trying me thinking when you try me when you are at a certain position

and then that's when I'm gonna play my position 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 ruling for her and then they will try you at that moment

but if you say something back you would look like you're hating and I'm not hating I just peeped that you trying me but I'm going to 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 going to remind you how you tried me for real and I'm going to remind you like 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 right but you're You're not that smart

I might talk away I might do this and that but it's like I'm very I'm smart 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 you know what you're trying about we heard about we've heard pretty and petty

pretty and petty you know exactly what you're talking about I said on the song pretty and petty it's fuck you come out the gate out the gate straight at beer yeah

all right so you said in the song you waited you told her you were going to do it your turns 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 going to

give it to you and then I'm done with it this reignites it all like why even address her again on the album because because you mentioned my kids trying to be cute there's there's going to be times that like people throw shots at you or like there's going to be times like you know like when she did a little this and it was trash like it's like it could have been trashed people dragged you and I couldn't leave it at that. But it's like everything on social media is going to be seen. So when my kids grow up one day and they see that you mentioned them and then they're going to ask me like, so what you said, what you did, I'm not going to 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. Now, I'm not saying that to my kids. I'm like, you see how I violated and she, it's more. You know what it is? I feel like last year, every artist was like beefing. Like every artist was beefing And I think she was going to 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 going because of a music video And it's like, oh girl, you definitely not on the moonboard I whatever more or less then this bitch right it'd be a lot of funny shit behind the scenes it'd really be a lot of funny shit behind the scenes this producer that was working with like my ex

he was telling he was going around saying that I was messing with a guy and there was allegedly a sex tape or something right yes 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, deem's the farm 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 a blood, nigger.

But 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 to mess with the blood. That's nothing to me. That's like being around Dominicans or something. Like, it's like, that don't mean nothing to me.

Everybody's madball. Everybody this, everybody. And then, this is New York. One thing about a New York person or anybody, they're going to talk. You was really trying to even mess things up in my home. And it's like, damn, you hate it on me so much. You hate it on me so much. And I kept saying, like, it's like, prove it, prove it.

Show me a text. Show me when I flirt it. Because when I'm loyal, I'm very loyal. Like, I don't text. I don't flirt. I don't even look at people in the eye. Because I don't even want you to think that I even like you. And you was doing all that shit.

And it's like, I got you. And it's like, and I know it was confirmed that it was heard that was going around with that rumor. Because when she did her this, she kept saying like, oh, why, say how you, how you like a cheater, some shit 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 there's an eye, bitch. Now I got a wet belt for you. And you ain't even going to know when it's coming. Have you ever got hit with a wet belt? Not a wet one. My daddy beat me with an incision cord.

It made me take a bath. So it's kind of the same thing. No, 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 going to hit you with a wet belt. And I told her. And then it's like you, and then you thought it was cute to put my kids. name.

I'm gonna get you. And you did it the right way, though. You put it out, put it on your album, you know? She should be thinking Blossom because I did that song last year, but I was so nasally because I had, I was so congested. You need to thank her. You know when you got sick when you're pregnant, you can't recover for like three weeks. Throw be messed up, nose be stuffy, feed be fat.

When the internet be coming for you, Cardi, whether it's the fans, or haters or blogs, does it make you like second guest sharing your truth? Or does it make you feel like, you know what? I'm going to be more unfiltered. I'm going to talk more. Sometimes, yes, and sometimes, no, like sometimes I just can help myself. And I'm like, I'm going to say what I want to say. But sometimes I be like, I just got to 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 be like, aye, whatever. And then sometimes I'd be like, you know what? Like, bitch, fuck you. Why are you on my dig? Like, stop. Stop. Like, you're taking advantage now.

And you're playing with me. And sometimes people will be like, oh, don't give them clow. And it's like, now I'm going to give you the clout today. Fuck you. I need to get this nut of my fucking chest. I got a dick on my chest. Damn. That's what Diddy said.

Listen, let me ask you a question. Like, you say, what's the biggest thing motherhood has taught you about yourself? That, like, the fame and money couldn't. motherhood is hard no matter how much money you have no matter how much how much you plant 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 like i don't ever want my kids to be like oh so why you end 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 all right so if people are being mean to you

you automatically quit like you automatically finish I don't want to do this no more like no and I don't know something about it about motherhood that it's just like it's just so beautiful I love them kids so bad and I feel like that's what you and that's the right thing to do that's what you was devoted to the last age year even more so than anything because I even think about if you were supposed to shoot that movie with Paramount and you was like no I'm not even going to do that right now but I'm not that is something too that is like I don't really like to do I always tell people like it's like I don't like that I don't like waking up at a certain time I don't I don't like having like a set schedule

set schedule is 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. 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. Well, they should still come correct because you Cardi B though, right? No, it's not like that. Not in the movie world. So you start fresh.

You start fresh and it's like I'm doing it all This is hard work Getting up and leaving at a certain time It's hard work for me Like But that's your gift Like even before music

We always We saw you on Instagram He was like your Cardi are going to be in TV shows Cardi going to be in movies So that's not like a desire yours It is 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 if people be like, you should be a comedian, it's like, that's not my, that's not what I like to do. Like, because if I stand with a mic, I can't do a joke like, I'm just talking. Like, in my fault, that when I say funny, but I can't think, like, the chicken traffic the road. Yeah, so as soon as you try to be funny, they're going to be like, nah, when I try to be funny, it's 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 act classes. It wasn't good. it was just like it was just like like the teacher

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 what's the last thing that made you cry I mean I could I could, it's not that I don't cry. I just don't know how to cry on cue or like,

or if I have to do a scene where I'm going to cry, I'm going to laugh. Automatically, like, I can't help myself. Like, I'm just naturally dramatic, but I don't know how to do drama. It's not my thing. 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 the studio doing? Men of your word. And because I was going through it at that time.

Like I was going, it was not like it was like, oh, I was talking about something that happened in 2018 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 nobody was singing it with that emotion that Dougie did it. And I'm like, I don't care if it doesn't make sense. I'm keeping Dougie. And when, so in 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.

No, no, it's not peaceful at all. I was not asking the album help, but no, it's not peaceful, respectful. What is it now? It's not peaceful at all. I can't even talk about it because it's like court thing, but it's like it is not peaceful at all. It is not peaceful. I don't even want to like make it into a, it's not peaceful, just no.

When you heard his song move on, offsets move on, what do you think? I laugh. Whatever, you let the world think what they want to think. People see it. People see what's up. I don't buy nobody They can't prove that I bother them

Did it hurt your feelings When he said you couldn't cook No because Do you know that But now you got All these bitches that cook for you Why are you still bothering me And you used to be on TikTok

You never said that you could Like you were chef boy or did you be on TikTok Making your, you know Cooking what you cook And doing your things sometimes if somebody asked me or if somebody told me like it's 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 act now you acting like that was an issue

now you got these bitches they're cook why you why can you sign the papers and these bitches cooking after everything do you think loving marriage is still worth it think it's worth it. Well, you get married again? Mm-hmm. Really? Mm-hmm. I will get married again.

But not as quick as I got married the last time. Mm-hmm. But it's a lot. It's really a lot. It's actually disgusting. Do you find any peace in independence? Like when you just alone, like you're not in a relationship with nothing? Or do you have to be in a relationship with a mother?

Um. 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 feel good. And then sometimes, like, you'll be in the club. Like, I just told that to somebody, like, you'll be in the club and it's 3.30 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 some. 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 a feeling that just comes out of nowhere like if you hear Adele my little love like at the end she's really saying and 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 when you're like alone but don't let that get too 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 gave a box somebody that it's gonna ghost to you ghost you and stuff like

or just like it's like oh i gave i gave some pussy to the wrong niggas you can't even do that no more because you cardie p all these things want to tell on you i definitely can't do that and and and It's not even that I definitely can do that. Like, it's that I don't really like people. I'm really a person that is that I don't really like guys like that. Like, not guys. Like, I'm some gay bitch or some shit. But it's like, I'm just-

You say on the album, you'd be gay for the right girl, though. I'll do something with a girl, but I can never be. I'm not a relationship with a girl type of girl. Got you. It's just not my thing. I'm sorry, girl. Like, I need somebody to protect me. You can do shit for me girl.

Who was dating? She's not like name dashed. I'm sorry, girl. I'm sorry, girl. He is a, oh, what was I'm like? Oh, 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 Stefan Diggs and now it's like, you were locked in. What was Cardi B like in dating? Like, were you going out places? Were you, like, answering DMs? How were you even getting hooked up with people? Like, were you ghosting people? What was that like?

Oh, he played with me. I have luck. Was it the castle? No. Oh. We've been talking before that. Okay. So we've been talking before that.

It was just really like a talking thing. Talking. Sometimes we didn't, sometimes we did. 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. But now you belong to me.

I wonder if he's ready for this new world, though, because I saw him get questioned in the locker room another day. He's a little different from He's a little different And and And they press And the world is way different For minds and stuff like that

So But you know what's up You see what it is over here You're pregnant Yeah Dave Chalby Yeah Were you scared when you found out

That you were pregnant Like were you scared about People's thoughts Opinions anything What were you thinking When you found out? certain times I was scared and then certain times I just I just wasn't like because if if I want to have a baby and I want to have a career

I'm going to I'm going to get it I'm going to get everything that I want you just got to you just got to work and you can't complain oh my feet well you know you know the consequences you know the consequences you know the consequences yeah people are gonna like so many people have different opinions like yesterday was a lot 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 bitch money business look what 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 day, I'm a public figure. However, like, it's like, it is what it is. I did my decision. I'm growing and I'm happy. I'm excited.

Then when you went on to sit down with Gail King, did you know you were going to, like, that was, you knew you were going to, like, tell people you were pregnant? Or did you, in the moment just be like, I'm just ready to talk about it? 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 feel like, oh, oh,

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 very superstitious. Things just happen all the time. And I do believe that people speak evil

on your, on your kids, on your life, especially when you're pregnant. Oh, I hope the baby cross-eyed is stupid or something like that. There's wicked people that really do that. So it's like, I don't even like to put it out there.

I wasn't hiding. I couldn't hide. Like, I had to work. I had shit to do. So I ain't hiding from nobody. But it's like, damn, let me say it. Let me secure certain deals. Let me tell these white folks like, hey, I got this at a certain time.

Like, let me close shit up. I want to say it on my time. And I did say it on my time. Would it have been a difference if I wouldn't just say nothing 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 going to still have it.

Whether I would tell you or not. But let me do it on my thing. Damn, 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. What they say? my dad he was like boy girl

okay and then my mom was like yeah I know I just I don't know why you I dug clearly I got eyes everybody got eyes I mean yeah well now but did she know she was dreaming

she probably dreamt the fish it's not even no it's not even about like parents like it's like even my fans I think my fans could probably told that I'm pregnant the day the day that like my stomach don't even look flat

because they kind of peeped it from a hot minute ago culture's birthday party is when the first time you were in the red a t-shirt it was like a long shirt and I sent it to our group

I was like do Cardi look pregnant I was like no I'm tripping like they've been people yeah I was like maybe I'm tripping they've been people

these people they know me so well they've been you would even you'll be surprised the day that they peep and the day that they peep is like damn

y'all y'all be clocking me so bad and you'd be wanting to tell them too don't you no no not really I'd be wanting to tell them

live no you're wrong but they're not wrong how do you hear Hold on asking something about the album, right? The pleasure principal sample. Was it hard getting Janet Jackson to clear that? It wasn't hard. This 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 Jackson State. Yeah. And this is how I know they really like me. They even was like asking like, oh, can we do, can y'all do this, can we do that? And it's like, oh, whatever the hell

y'all want me to do, like, sure. But I could tell she really for me because she didn't get, and it's two samples. It's two? Yes, it's on my back. Oh, shit. Yes, yes. Like, I'd be joking around.

Like, it was like, this hour should have been Cardi featured Janet Jackson. But she just, it was just so many good ones. I couldn't pick. Did you let her hear the records before? Yeah, you have to. She has to listen to it. And she was like, I fuck with it. Yeah, she fucked with it.

Damn, so you got Janet Jackson and Jay-Z to create some shit. Who made you more nervous? And could you have handled the rejection if they were like, nah? I would have handled it. I would handle 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 I would have been like I get it but it felt really good when he cleared it like I was like did my record like you believe it's my record absolutely

was there ever any conversation about Jen and Jackson coming on like putting you know singing on anything talking on anything like actually being newly on the album as well too it wasn't because like

it's like sample but like it's a little bit like I don't know It's like different It wouldn't have like But I do want to work with her though And for real for real

Because she really She really fuck with me And I fuck with her Have y'all built Like now you're having conversations outside of just that song Since going through that process And having to be in communication during that time I'm very shy

I don't like to talk to artists Everybody knows that about me I do not like talking to artists like that And you and Janet will both be standing there whispering at each other and I'm gonna get you out of it because I know you want to eat but I haven't seen you spazzing online

a lot lately what made you slow that down you ain't spathed in a minute I don't know I kind of did like two weeks ago because I feel like I'm getting picked on again what was the two weeks ago I don't remember then

person every single day every single time and then it's like all right you don't do it for 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 all right like like what's up now you got my attention for real is that why you did this rollout this because a lot from that the conversation has been carty did the upper brow outlets like you sat with gal king you sat with kelly rolling you're here with the breakfast club but you didn't do a lot of upper brow I mean but we are we're at an intersection between the righteous and the ratchet but these are like these are my people

I know these people people feel like you did because of that rant that like we've seen people have been going to a lot of like podcasts and they're sitting which I know you you're going to do a stream right I have I did podcast though they just haven't come up. Oh okay I did do some podcasts but I'm

gonna do podcasts with people that like me like why do I got to sit with podcasters that I don't like I'm going I'm like like Like, for what? Like, if you don't like me, like, why am I going to go to your shit? Like, so I could, like, what, prove what to you? Like, you don't like me, and it is what it is.

Then there... And you're pregnant, so you can't swing on nobody if you want to. No, I just... I can't hit people. I don't have people. Then, like, I see a lot of people going, like, to stream or stuff. I really like... I like...

Like, when I... real soon though not like right now because I have so much on my schedule like when I feel like genuine love like it's like 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 33 but I know the younger 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 it's something wrong with it I'm just I'm just a little older and I just don't know how to do that shit do this video 10 goddamn time I'm tired already like what I like

and what I see on my on my timeline that's who I'm gonna go to like if I like you I'm gonna go to you and you're pregnant like you ain't got time

to be sitting down with nobody I can't I can not even say pregnant because I've been doing everything I have literally done

everything and anything like even after those days in court I was still doing shit like I have 6 a.m. mornings to all the way, like today. Like I woke up today at 6 a.m. My night is going to finish at 3 a.m.

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 4,000,000 people. Like it's like, it just don't stop for me. But it's like, I'm not going to go to podcasters that I don't like. Why am I going to go sit down with you? You don't fucking like me. You talk mad shit about me.

You contribute, you contribute, like, contribute to my pain. You contribute, like, to my pressure. So why am I going to sit down with your ass? I'm going to sit down with people not like, oh, because we were like, oh, you sit down with people that kiss your eyes. No, I like positive people. I like people that make me feel good. I like people that I be like, you know what?

I like them. I can hang out with them. But I don't like you. Why am I sitting down with you to prove what point? You know, people think you actually pay me. They think you pay me to talk good about you. No, I don't. I just really, and I really just be talking to Charlemagne,

not all the time. Like, sometimes you would even believe the things that we would talk about. we talk about the most politics that's right that's what really we be talking to most of the most of the time that's what we really be talking about even the other day I was so busy but I was going to hit you up like it's like oh I would have some jokes for you I would have some jokes for you not even to be messy but like to be messy but it's like I know you could have came harder shalmy come on you're talking about he was being called a girl yeah like it's like well I'm being called a girl like it's like you're telling me that I'm not securing my woman

My woman is financially secure, though. That's a fact. There's nothing wrong being around. Nick of a daughter birthday fucking part of like a fucking bar mitzbo. Like, you can't talk to you. You can't fucking talk to me. You're asking NBA or you got a view. Have you seen that in your house?

See his wife closet? I'll never leave. Thank you for coming to my daughter's Sweet 16, though. That was amazing. That is like a black bar mitzper, right? Like, it's fly to see black and brown people doing shit like that. Yeah. And everybody, it just made me realize, like, it's that, wow.

So this is how my daughter's birthday going to be in 16. Word. All white folks, huh? Oh, culture is going to, baby. I want to buy 16. Yes, especially when you live there. Especially when you live back. She's going to be, been famous for a long time at that point.

Pulling up to the fashion shows, yeah, it's going to be very upper brow, very white. No, it's not even, it's just like, it's just like. Her cousin's going to be there. You had to be at that party, so you could be like, wow. You would just have, like, an understanding of, like, what the schools are like over there. Yes, exactly. So sometimes I 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.

But she got you. Yeah. We saw a coach the other day, Coach. Alexander Wang, yeah, we talked about it up there. But they're so innocent. They're so innocent over there. They're innocent in Jersey. But.

That is interesting, right? 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'd be trying to focus on. They spoil. They're spoiled. And it's not even that they're spoiled.

They don't know nothing else. They don't know nothing else. But they do as, you know what I noticed, as long as they were their cousin, they don't care where they at. Because when they be in my grandma's house, or like when they was in D.R., in the country, country,

they, I kept calling like, are you guys okay? As long as they're with their cousin, kids are okay. They just got to be with their cousins. That's the trick. They got to be with their cousins. They're going to have a good time anywhere, as long as their cousins is around,

their friends around. What's up with Hennessy? I see you got her tattooed on your arm, and it seemed like Hennessy be on the loaf. Is that on purpose? 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 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's a bomb But I do be wishing that she's, like, more out there. Because she was doing the fashion thing at one point. Yeah. She was, like, designing and she was doing that.

I thought that was going to be, like, her thing. Yeah. She was good. I could have said about Hennessy. She's just a little sister. Mm-hmm. I made a joke with my mom yesterday. I was like, for every year the Hennessy don't have a baby, I'm going to have one.

Damn. Jesus I'm like What the hell, Cardi And my mom Didn't find the joke funny Did being in the Bronx Keep you grounded?

Grounded as in what? Just grind it like keep your feet on the ground Let you know it's always really important Fuck all of the industry shit and everything Just keeps you grounded Do you find your peace When you home in the Bronx is what I'm saying Yeah 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. It's silence. Yeah. Then you can't bring everybody to your house. Like, you can't bring everybody to your house. I'm going to go to the block. But you got to know how to be in the block.

You can't do too much. Like, I'm not going to go to the block and I'm dressed up, makeup. I'm being in sweat and everything. You never know when I'm there. You just never know. But I be there. Mm-hmm. Just.

It just feels good I'm chilling I'm with my friends You are people you know Yeah I want to go back To something you had said You said that you are shy

Around other artists Which is hard to You gotta eat too now Okay This is this is my This is I was trying to get this in I think you try to eat No we just want to make sure you eat

I'm just talking to you I know you tired You know what I'm I'm good You said you shy around other artists And you 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 Rollin interview where you said you had reached out to the young girls that's on the come up and then you found out it was dealing with your man behind you ex-man behind your back is that is not that is one of 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 and to relate with them with like if if I'm in a room with like a certain artist right and we grew up differently we grew up in different places

what are we talking about so it's like so that dumb ass small talk I hate 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 turn up and drink I don't really like what is there to talk about like we don't have nothing in common for real Like, I'm, but there is certain, like, girls, though, that I feel like I, I, I support it because I generally like their music and I'm playing their music, not because I need something from them, I'm playing it because it's like, this song is hot right now.

This 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 I It's like, you're supporting a bitch and bitches really dead don't like you. And it's like, damn, this is why you even got to be careful who song you're playing. You got to be even careful who song you're playing because it's like, you're playing a bitch 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'll be asking yourself like, it was like, damn, did I say something that sounded like I was loving somebody or something? And it's like, no. You just fuck my nika.

But that's not all. That's not all. Is this one person in particular? No, there's a couple. Oh, God. There's a couple. It's not even rap girls. No, there is rap girls.

There's a couple. Because you know when you said that the other day in the interview, it started the whole guessing game of who you were talking about. It's a couple. It's a couple. And it'd be weird, too, because it's like 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 are you coming around for? What you coming around for? It got to the point that it was like, I had to start policing my friends. Like, it's like, oh, this girl hit me up.

Why should hit you up? Hit up, but check the temperature. Right. And it's like, oh, this is what she was coming around. Bitches is weird. You know, it's very hard. You know, it's hard for men to tell other men you hurt my feelings, and it's hard for sometimes women just to be like,

y'all want to be your friend. I really want to, I want to fuck with you. Like, I want to be your people. Who? Just whoever the woman is, whoever these persons are talking about. That's why she's going to your other friend. No, they go to my other friend because they want to know my business,

but you was doing fuck shit. Oh, this is somebody you already know this and fuck shit. Yeah, like, it's like, then you start, you start, things start to come out and it's like, oh. This is weird, because I got so, I got, I'm very girl-coded. I don't do weird shit like that. I don't do weird stuff like that.

Like, I don't. Me and my sister, we really like that for real. Like, it's like, we don't do weird shit. I feel like I fuck with you or I fuck with you. I would never cross you if I fuck with you. Like, I'm very sister-coded type of bitch. Briches is just weird. Industry bitches is weird.

Everybody weird. You still girl-coded. though, because you could be putting these girls on blast if you wanted to. You don't be saying no names, y'all. Okay. But they know I got some. 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. So, Tread, like. Damn. Who these women is, Lauren? I don't know that.

You don't say names. The only, I know when you said that. There's, there's just, there's just, it's, it's a, it's a couple. It's a whole bunch. 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. What?

Like, just being friendly or being encouraging to somebody, that's the most craziest feeling ever. Like, especially because the girl might not owe you nothing, but like, your man at the time, dude. No, your man, your man owes you. You laying down with you. Your man owes you. but it'd be weird

it'd be weird because it's like Ho's gonna be ho's gonna be hoes right hos gonna be hos bitches is gonna be bitches but there's girls that really like

will be in your DM will really try to be your friend will really try to like come in your world will really try to do weird things like befriend your friends will will really just

like there's a like I scrapped the song but there's 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? I'm like, I feel like you had a problem with me. It was like, no, actually, this is what I actually had a problem with. And I'm like, that's what you had a problem with?

This is not something to have a problem about. Maybe 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.

and I was pregnant too with my sons gave me flowers and everything then months later I found out you fuck this nigga oh god and stuff like that be weird to me because it's like if a bitch fuck your nigga and whatever like that

it's like a bitch don't owe you nothing just stay over there just stay over there but that's how weird and sick bitches are like you're a weirdo and in a matter of fact How did that conversation went 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, you're pregnant, this and that. And then it's like, I kept telling myself. This is why niggas be fucked niggas. Because you can't always blame it on the bitch. But this is how much bitches is weird. So you gave me flowers. I said that I'm pregnant.

And then I find out months later that you fuck my nigger. You bitch. There's fucking, you hoes is crazy. Y'allos is crazy. Do you let them know you know? They know I know. That girl, did you go back and y'all had a conversation about it after? 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. I don't even play with receipts. I got them receipts. 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. Mm-hmm. Everybody.

And it's not even about, that's just a nigger thing. There's bitches that is like, I support it, that is like I support you because, like I said, I like you, and all of a sudden, like, you,

you subbing me and you're playing internet games to appease certain people. And it's like, I ain't never even did nothing to you, bitch. You know what? Everybody got to turn. you're still cool with a lot of the rap girls though right

yeah there is a lot of there's a lot of like the rap girls like glow glow's your cousin glow I fuck with glow glow I'm never gonna talk about it one day probably in 10 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'll come through not just like, oh, here's a verse. Like, she would really like, hey, not only do I need a verse from you, I need like 10 days of rehearsals and I need,

just so we can make it great, of course. And 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 put in that effort that they don't have to do, I 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 in it. So I appreciate that. I like Lado-a-la. She's very, like, she's very honest. She's very cool. She's a very sweet girl. She gave me a Chanel bag. So.

So why did you ask, this is my last question. Why did you ask yourself, am I the drama? And I like that you holding yourself accountable, you know, for what you might be on. But why did you ask yourself that question? 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 high school because 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 know some motherfuckers or hate you just because of how everybody else love you yes and that's why it's like damn am i the drama am i the ones and is it me jesus like it's like why i'm always like 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 me i don't but i'm also very blessed too like it's like maybe i'll be thinking it's because my it is my personality it is because like my voice just stand out and it always

been like that, which is a, it's a, it's God. It's God. It's a blessing. It's a curse. 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. 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. Like, maybe I am blessed Or maybe I just, I don't know Well, don't spend all day looking at the

It's the season of giving, and this year my podcast, The Happiness Lab, is partnering with Give Directly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need as part of the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will bring over 700 families out of extreme poverty. Your donation will put cash directly in the hands of these families in need, and they'll get to decide how to use it, whether that's school transportation, purchasing livestock, or starting a business. Plus, if you're a first-time donor, your gift will be matched by giving multiplier, which means more money for those in need. Visit givedirectly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and to donate. That's give directly.org slash happiness lab.

This is an IHeart podcast, guaranteed human.
