But, hey, no one's perfect. We're pretty close, though. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm a home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You know if you're going to lie about that, right? Lauren came in. Hey, y'all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa, and this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. and y'all know how we have to start. But if you are new here, my new lowriders, new to the community,

we start with behind the scenes of the grind and a little check. Today I am feeling growth. And when I say I am feeling growth, I don't mean in the sense of like, you know, a new accomplishment, like physically in like life, career. I don't mean like, you know, how people talk about growth and change and it being uncomfortable. I mean today the way that I handled a certain situation

I don't know it just I was afterward I walked away and I was like I'm proud of you but I'm very proud of you because you a month or two ago wouldn't have been able to handle that situation the same way now it's not all the way perfect okay there's still I'm trying to get better with my accountability factor I really am trying to get better with accountability, I feel like, you know, one of the things that I know I always want to do is remain a student and always stay a student. But I feel like in order to remain and be a student, you have to have mentors and coaches and not even if they're not like coaches or mentors directly. You have people on your team who are around you who are smarter than you or smarter than you

at something better than you as something who actually want to be around you to teach you. And to, you know, not just teach you just any old thing, like people who actually care about your growth and your well-being. And one of the things that I realize about myself and my adult life is that, you know, although I have a ton of amazing people around me, I don't know, I just have begun to really wonder, like, how many things have I closed myself off to? Because I'm not accountable in certain situation and I'm just wanting and eager to be educated and taught but like am i easy student we always talk about the teacher and how they relate information i've talked to you guys here on the podcast just about you know just like experiences that i've had with like trying to figure

out mentors in the space that i'm in and uh you know um shoot just how it doesn't always go you guys saw me on the breakfast club actually having a conversation this was almost two years ago down. Having a conversation with Carrie Champion. Hey, Carrie, shout us to her. She's also on the Black Effect Podcast Network. And having a conversation just about

how sometimes interactions with other women in the space that I'm in other black women in the space that I'm in, especially older black women in the space. Haven't been the best. And like I'm not really one to like, you know, it's like

as nice as I am as social butterfly as I am like I'm really like either I'm like super down loyal or cordial for the sake of or like I just don't fool it at all and one of the things that I've learned in in this new season of my life um is that I want to always make sure that like I'm I'm giving off to people what I want them to like like what I would expect to receive from someone I also want to be giving that off and I feel like the way that does. that that's how it is. It's like you gig what you want to take

or you take what you want to give. So I've been having some conversations with myself just about accountability. Also too, I just feel like when you get the moment, when you get the platform, it's like it's go time. It's time to take it. But I think a lot of guys people talk about

receiving these moments, garnering success, reaching these different plateaus, especially being the first in your family to reach, you know, even if it's not like a certain level of financial success, but just like, you know, the rooms that you're walking in, to be the first to do that and to be navigating that. A lot of times people don't talk about what they learn about themselves negatively

in a way that it could be blockage for your blessing, for what you got coming. And I've always been very, very insune and self-aware, even in time. Like, I'm so self-aware. I'm so self-aware. know when I'm not admitting, and I know, and I purposely don't admit it in times and with certain things. And I'm like, all right, I got here older now. And as the platform grows and just, you know, not even about the platform, but just the, the blessings that I want to see in my life because of where I want to take things to, there's a huge level of accountability that I'm going to have. I have a mentor, her name is Ms. Lori Hayes, and she always used to say to us, warning comes before destruction. And one of the things that I love to remember is that because a lot of times,

you know when you're not operating at your full potential, you know when you are in your own way, you know when you're the problem. A lot of times, the best of us know when we are the problem and the even better of us know, okay, let me fix it. Let me get out of my own way. So I've been trying to do a lot better at that. And today, I handled, you know, the critique in a situation in a way that I feel like was way different than what I would normally done. And I was proud of myself. So today, behind the scenes of the grind, I'm feeling that growth in that area,

but I'm feeling proud of myself for it. Small, look, small win, okay? I'll take it. Okay. When you're a mouthy girl like me, okay? And the fence is real fast and real slick, you take what you can get. So I'll take it. not perfect but growing

behind the scenes to the grind. Now let's get on into the latest. I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fult and Our Stars and now I guess also as the co-host of The Away End

For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan.

Listen to Against All Odds with Iris Palmer as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. So I told you guys that we were going to be. talking about a huge celebrity who, you know, has grown right before our eyes, literally, and continues to. She is a music artist. She is an actress.

She is a business mogul, a mother. And she is known. So a lot of people by the saying, oh, she is Cardi B. So Cardi B sat down with Imagreedy. Emigreedy is the brand strategist and brains behind so many brands. including skims, which is the very profitable business owned by Tim Kardashian. Now, Emigreedy has a podcast called Aspire with Emagrety. And on this episode, she sits down with Cardi B.

And they talk about a ton of different things. The gist of Immigrety's podcast is, it's like pop culture, but it's business, strategy, marketing, brand growth, brand partnership, and money within pop culture. So she's having a conversation about Cardi And, you know, just Cardi's starting for nothing With no co-sign, figuring it out in real time Cardi investing her own money into herself Navigating brand deals, some bad, some good

And just Cardi coming into herself In a way that was very much like what I talked about When we just checked it behind us into the grind Like realizing what needed to be done doing it, getting out of her own way And there are so many places that, you know, Cardi B goes in this interview. Now, for me,

to hear her talk just through the brand and business side of the journey, Cardi B, is very, like, I feel like a, like, and again, me and Cardi, you're not like the best of friends or anything like that, but

Cardi's now manager, and I would call a creative director through patient foster, and I have, like, we've known each other for very long time. We're both from women's in Delaware. I would say grew up together, but I met patients later in life. I met patients in high school, but I've known her sense. We're on a grind together just trying to figure this out. And not even always together in a sense of like right there next to each other, but just at the same time trying to figure it out. And hearing Cardi talk about

some of these things, like investing in herself and, you know, all of those moments, it's so crazy to see because I remember it. I remember literally like Cardi's like first tour, I guess you would call it. Not even like a real tour, but when Cardi first dropped music and she was going from clubs to club and she was traveling to take the state and she was putting her own money in. And I remember when Cardi was supposed to premiere on Love and Hip Hop. And, you know, between the time she was supposed to actually air on the show and the time she promoted it, her star grew so much that there were rumors that Cardi had to go back and

renegotiate with Mona Scott Young. I actually asked Mona Scott Young about that when she came on the breakfast club. So Immigreedy and Cardi stood down in L.A. and they're having this very candid conversation because Cardi just launched her hairbrain grow good. And her hair brain is something that we've also watched her do for a long time over the years. Take care of her own hair, figure out her own hair, treat her own hair under the wigs that she wears. And to start it off, they talk about Cardi and her decision to invest in herself

in a real way. So I was investing in my music career. I was investing in my studio time. I was investing in my own clothes. It was never managers. It was never a label that cut me a check. Like, it's like, oh, here. If you want to get into fashion, here's a check for you.

And you could invest in fashion and go to fashion shows and everything. Everything I had to invest in me. It was never like I had a manager and he believed in me and he invested so much money. He was doing the work, but I was investing. every single dollar that I made every single night hosting these clubs, promoting T-shirts, promoting other people's business to my music career. And it paid off. You all know what's so crazy?

Like, I told you guys, like, I remember this era of Cardi. I think what's even crazier is like, so seeing her all them years back, right, all those years, that was before I moved to L.A. to the honors of y'all. I think, so I moved back to L.A. in 2016. So the era that Cardi is talking about, yeah, it's like 2015-2016, when everything first started kind of moving for herself. So Bodak Yellow came out in 2017. So before Cardi B had Bodack Yellow, she had dropped a mixtape.

So I remember forever. Forever was in 2016, and that was a song that Cardi B had made around her moment for love and hip-hop. My girl had beef with me. She's going to have beat for me forever. Okay, and that was such a big moment from Love and Hip-Hop, New York. But then Bodak Yellow drops a year later off of Gangsa Bitch Music Volume 2, which was a mixtape that Cardi B had.

I remember the videos. I remember the photo shoots. Like, I literally remember so much of this, like, of this time. And just them figuring it out using everything they can, every resource they can, whatever they can figure out. And the reason I was saying, like, it's so crazy to see is because it's like you see Cardi now. Like we've been to Cardi Beach concert.

I talked about it here on the podcast. You go check out those previous episodes. But being in this case of my life, I feel like, like I'm listening to Cardi's story. And I'm like, I thought I fully understood the investment part of it and what she's talking about. But I feel like this season of my life is the season that Cardi's talking about in that clip that we did. I've always been investing in myself from trying to like figure out those things and like putting money back into myself. and I don't know where you guys are, Luritas, but for me right now,

it's like all of my money going into things that like equal bigger things for me. So whether it's like experiences that are going to be great because I'm trying to lean into partnerships that also will garner more experiences

or, you know, making sure, you know, where I'm filming a podcast is straight. But money into that, photo shoots, merch, like get your merch at Brown Girl Grind. dot com all of that stuff i was watching this and i'm like oh yes like i feel you and i think that's why like with carty there are so many people that relate to her and just kind of like lock in with her

because all of it and all of her experience that she shares very vulnerably is so relatable so relatable now she talks about a time period where and it's around this 2016 2017 time where Cardi was trying to go from reality TV into music and you know fun fact Cardi she wanted to do music right she was actually hesitant about doing love and hip hop

because she was worried about the box that it would put her in and how it was shaped her career after the show so she knew even back then but she was able to work around that but she told them a greedy in this interview how she wasn't able to work around it because people believed it It's because she believed it herself. Labels didn't even want to find it.

Some people think that when you start off in a reality show and when you're really funny like me, it's really hard to convince people that you're being serious. It's like, yeah, yeah, you want to do music. And it's like, no, I really want to do music. Like, I went to so many different labels, and it was just like, oh, this person, this person in a reality show, try to do music. It didn't work out.

So I'm not really sure. We want to see. We want to see what it looked like after the TV show airs out. And we want to see how does that go for you? And it's like, you know what? Fine. I don't need your money. I just invest it on myself.

I'll just do it myself. I just do it on myself. Like even like the money that I was getting for love and hip hop, I was investing it all in my music. And like sometimes I really, I wanted to buy a, I wanted to buy a chain. I wanted to buy a nice Chanel bag. I wanted that, but it's like this first, like this first. And I was so committed and it happened.

for me. I mean, it just shows a lot of focus and a lot of self-belief for you at that point in your career to decide, like, that's what I'm going to do. I guess what you're describing is that you were massively underestimated. Do you still feel like you're underestimated? I feel like I'm underestimated, but I feel like the second album changed a lot of that. Yeah, that was a time period. And I remember when Cardi first got signed. And the reason why I remember is because

this was like the turning point where a lot of artists wanted to make it seem like they didn't have any major labels behind them. And I remember Cardi started doing these big stages, these big shows,

these big award shows. So Cardi performed, because I was at TMZ during the time period. So granted, when the tie started to change for Cardi and like people started to look at her as not just a viral Instagram sensation, but she was on television, which is crazy that the tie started to change around that time because as I told you guys, like knowing some of the behind thing, I know that it was very intentional that Cardi didn't want to get caught in that reality star box. I remember when she wanted to make it clear that fashion was for thing and she did the cover of fashion bombs daily

and the digital cover some years ago as well too it was like her first fashion look like major one anyway and she was just very intentional from the beginning right I used to try and pitch her at TMZ

like to run into her on our tour just different things I remember me and patience used to like we were always trying to figure out sometimes for her to just run into my tour even without them knowing because I was like, if we just do it, then I can, and she's funny, which she will be, I can go in and just pitch it and make it work.

But it was tough because, and I didn't know because I wasn't fully in the newsroom at that time, but once I got in the newsroom and got really close to Van, I remember Van telling me like he was also from the inside trying to pitch Cardi B as well too, and they didn't really understand it yet. But when the ties started changing for her, honestly, was when she got on television, in my thing, at least from my standpoint and where I was it, like just media. news. I feel like being on that platform gave people a reason to talk about her outside of just social media because this was early days when people that were on social media, it was hard for them

to be looked at as celebrities. Like, I also remember it was Cardi B, Logan Paul and Jake Paul. We used to pitch these three in our newsroom at TMZ or the newsroom, not our, but the newsroom at TMD all the time. And I remember Harvey used to be so mad. Like, they are not. celebrities, they are online influencers. And even when we would talk about stories that originated from social media, he'd be like, don't see you got it from social media because social media was just looked at as this thing that was just the internet. To anyone who was like old school newsmen or whatever, you didn't take a lot coming off

of social media series. And then the tide just changed. And Cardi was a big part of that because she was so vocal on social media, so tapped in on social media, but she was also on television and causing big ways over there. So in the midst of all of this, so the music is dropping, Cardi B then does the MTV Video Music Award in 2017. She performed at Capricio. This was a huge deal.

And I remember this performance because she performs. And then later on she did, I like it, at the 2018 American Music Awards, the AMA. I remember these performances because I'm like, yo, these are such big stages. Like, I'm so happy for her. She kicked me major looks now. like how is she able to get on these big stages because there's a lot of artists who are also making waves and talented but can't get on these big stages and I remember being told like oh she signed to Atlantic but she didn't want to like announce it at one point and then I remember

when she started having some success of the label it became a part of the conversation and I think a part of that was too like I said in the beginning this was the turning tide of when people who really wanted to be independent from a label. I mean, and to be fair, Cardi has always been one that has been running and doing a lot of her own groundwork like an artist. But I know that was that element to it too.

But to see all of this in real time and to hear her talk back on it, like spending the money she was spending for herself. And just her early know-how to do that and where she got into now, right, with different deals that she's been able to leverage. Cardi B has done deals in fashion. No, and I'm just going to name a few

because I'm none on this stuff. fashion over was a big deal it was sold out so fast it was one of the fashion nova's biggest celebrity brand partnerships of patient foster was also at the hem of it with Cardi B in that as well too

like you know creatively directing managing and leading a lot of that partnership she just recently did a revolved deal so they're going to do things across fashion and all faucets and all assets and she talks a bit about that in this interview she now has her grow good hair

brand Cardi has whip shots which is wine and spirits. She's done television things. She is all over the game, like all over it in major ways. One of the things that I thought that was so, you know, honest, but also I was glad she said it because a lot of people, it's like when you, when things finally start moving for you, you're just ripping and running so fast and you're just trying to make the money

and sustain. Yeah, sometimes the business falls through. And Cardi talks a lot about, you know, just, making sure that you know what your business looks like and how she was, you know, she did some bad deals that she had to learn from. Oh, I'm going to taxes. It's like, oh my gosh, if I could learn something new every time about taxes, like, it's like, that's what I want to like learn.

And then like, ooh, money comes and goes so fast. It goes so fast. Well, listen, I wanted to ask you about that because I think you revealed last year you were spending like $3 million a month or something like that on your outgoings, on keeping Cardi B and the family going. Was that true? Yes. Like it's like so many, it's just, well, not three million.

It was like a year that I was like, why am I spending a million dollars on transportation a year? Like driving transportation, not planes or nothing, like just driving transportation. And that's just because it's like sometimes like, you don't even be having talks with your accounting every week. Do you just be like, oh, whatever. Like it's like, I could see what I got going on in my credit.

the car, but there's just so many little accounts that you have that is like, I'm not always keeping up with it. Keep up with every single account that you have. Are you doing that now? Yes. Yes. And I'm not, and I'm not feeling bad for people anymore. Like it's like, hey, listen, you're taking advantage too much. You got to go. You got to get fire, baby. Like I said, there's a lot of, um, there's a lot of things that people try to make nuance in life, especially like in success in business. Like I think people look at anybody that's successful

and automatically assume that like you just figure it out well. Like you automatically have it figured out or you, you know, it was passed down from you or most of the time it's like who do they have around them. Like people are trying to figure out like who you have around you. But regardless of all of that, regardless if it's being passed down to family members, you know, that financial education or business savvy, regardless if it's because of the partners you have around you, one of the things that I've learned and I'm learning still is like you have to have your hands

and everything monitor the people monitor their process their progress and also monitor your money because people don't spend and hold on to money like you do because they're not working for it that has been my biggest learning lesson of like no I want to watch everything like I want to know who's being paid for what how we've been paid why is this person getting the percentage of this they weren't involved like there are so many people that get in this business and business goes bad for them, not because the business wasn't there, but because the,

the, uh, what Cardi is talking about. Like, the turnaround and the evolution from, I did bad business. I did a bad deal. I learned from it.

The warning that came before the destruction, right? People don't, people don't evolve from that. They don't learn from that. Oh, no, baby. I mean, I'm walking people like, you know, Cardi, when it comes to business, shoot, when I was at,

her concert just saturday at the Prudential Center. I was just paying attention like I always do to everything, being nosy. And I saw her spray perfume on herself. And I text, you know, somebody from her team and I'm like, is Cardi about to drop a sit? And they were like, no, that's Mugler. That's their moment in the show. They have a sponsorship with Pardy.

And I'm like, oh, okay. And I feel like that's one thing that isn't really talked about a lot. It's the fact that Muglare, she has a brand partnership with Mugler. which is we hardly talks about mouglaire so much in her music so it only makes sense but at how she's able to pull off a lot of the three-eyed tricks that we're seeing on the on that stage because it costs money and she's talked about the label meeting to put up more money I'm sorry she talked about lag nation who was the foreign company meaning to put up more money next year and just you know in the beginning of all of this how she had to go and find and figure out a lot of the money because of

everything she wanted to do. And I'm sure that that was one of the things that they figured out. Like, she has been very smart about taking what she learned and applying it in a very good way. And I think, you know, the time that Cardin took off music, people look at it like an absence. But to me, it sounds like she was revving up. It sounds like she was looking around. She was getting herself together mentally because, you know, she was going through a divorce,

that whole situation. But she was also trying to figure out, like, where her priority was. lot. What is important? What's not important? Where does she want to spend our time? What story does she want to tell? Looking around, who am I going to do it with? Who are the team members? Who are the brands? And that little bit of time or lack thereof can take you from zero to 100 or literally nothing. I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars.

Because I know deep down inside right now, we are all cursing and asking what the bleep is going on. I'm talking to people like Julie K. Brown, who broke the explosive story on Jeffrey Epstein in 2018. These victims have been let down time and time again for decades and decades by local law enforcement, by federal law enforcement, by administration after administration. The Justice Department through, I think we counted four presidential administrations, failed these victims. Listen to Bleep with Anna Navarro as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up? I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart.

And our podcast, Game Recognized Game has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave, and then actually now I'm going to stick. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be

rolling around the city like this tonight before games, you know, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. They'll be like, Mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball? Check out Game Recognized game with Stuy and Miles on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, gorgeous, it's Lala Kent, host of Untraditionally Lala. My days of filling up cups at Sir may be over, but I'm still loving life in the valley.

Live on the other side of the hill is giving grown-up vibes, but over here on my podcast, untraditionally Lala, I'm still that Lala you either love or love to hate. I've been full on over sharing with fans, family, and former frenemies like Tom Schwartz. I had a little bone to pick with Schwarzy when he came on the pod. You don't feel bad that you told me I was a bootleg housewife? I almost flipped a pizza in your lap. Oh my God, I literally forgot about that until just now. Sorry, I don't want to blame alcohol.

I got to blame that one in the alcohol. This is about laughing and learning when life just keeps on life in. Because I make mistakes so that you guys. guys don't have to. We're growing, we're thriving, and yes, sometimes we're barely surviving, but we do it all with love. It's unruly, it's unafraid, it's untraditionally Lala. Listen to Untraditionally Lala on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Now, one of the last things I wanted to bring into this, because y'all know I talk a lot about family on the podcast and just, you know, learning this new space of being able to show up for

everybody would also show up for myself. Karney talked about just the, the, you know, the tax that there is, of being successful in your family and being the person that someone can rely on, how financially that takes a toll too. I already, I feel like I already said boundaries with my family already. Those boundaries are already said like, it's like, how'd you do that? Just, it's like, I just got so tired of it and it's just like, just say no. Like just, just say no. And now I feel like my family knows like how much or,

on you could ask me or what type of situation you could ask me. But it's like even some people that I just employed that are not my family. Like sometimes, like people that I employ sometimes, I become really cool with or I really like them. And it's like, you know what? We're getting too comfortable and you overcharging me. You gotta go.

You gotta fucking go. You ain't got no mercy on me, bitch. Like, it's like, you gotta go. Now let me tell y'all. Cardi has a really big family that she talks about all the time, from her mom, her dad, for sister Henanthie, a lot of her cousins. She doesn't post them as much now, but when Cardi used to do videos on time on Instagram,

she would always be posting her cousins. There were videos she would post them having parties at their houses and, you know, just all the food and Spanish music and, you know, so there are a lot of people there. She also has talked a lot about, I remember when the pandemic hit, Cardi was talking at it, and then once eggs went up in price, she was talking about how she grocery shops for a lot of people in her family and how expensive everything is. And some things are like, you know,

you can't control the price of groceries, right? But learning how to say no and learning how to look at every dollar you spend, whether it's going to a family member, a business, an investment into yourself, something you shouldn't be buying, shopping, whatever it is, looking at every dollar that you put out as something that you're taking away from a moment

you could be investing more in yourself and making sure it's something. something that's not even about it being worked it, but like it's something that isn't putting you in a deficit. And sometimes the deficits don't even look like you're not having the money because with a person like a Cardi B or Emma greedy, like I'm sure there's more where that came from. That's what we're all working to. That's what I'm working to. That's what I'm watching these interviews. But if you want to keep it like that, where there's more to, you know, to come from, like you have to understand what that is. And I thought that Emma putting it into the

conversation of it being called family cats, I was like, okay, that's a good way to look at it, because that makes it a business thing. Because you're never going to let someone in business just keep taking, taking, taking, taking, and never returning. You would cut it off. You would stop doing business with that person. Your return wouldn't be good. And not that anyone that you help in your family or people who love that always has to be a return, but you guys know what I mean, like, you wouldn't allow yourself to be taking advantage of. And that's just one of the things that you're like learning, or that I'm learning. And it's not even about money. Sometimes it's about the guilt that we talked about on a previous episode as well.

Go back and take a listen to that. I talk to you guys about, you know, the guilt of just not being able to spend time with everybody all the time. But sometimes, you know, depending on where you are in your life, your time is your money too. And you got to be a little stingy with it just for a little bit. Just that's the investment. Just for a little bit until you can give it all back out. This has been another episode of the latest with Lauren LaRosa.
