Mrs. Offset!
It’s the year of Cardi B and she knows it. She broke out crazy with her single “Bodak Yellow” and is the new princess of rap. She did the unthinkable, going No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the undisputed queen of the rap game in 2017.
As her dream come true, she is covering next month’s Rolling Stone, where she talks about an array of topics. From what she thinks of J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar‘s success, to beef in the game and her fiancee Offset. She also speaks on fame now, what she wants to do in the future and the current state of the music game.
ON THE RAP GAME
“It’s so sad to say, and I don’t want to be the one to say it, but you gotta follow the trend. This generation loves to get high. They love to be on drugs. This is why they on that shit: They don’t want to think about what you’re saying.”
ON HER NEWFOUND FAME
“If you go broke and lose your career, it’s bad — and everybody is talkin’ shit about it,” she said. “At least if you lose your 9-to-5, you don’t got millions of people judging you and talking shit while you lost your job.I used to tell myself that I will always be myself,” she explained. “Little by little, I’m feeling like I’m getting trapped and muted.
I cannot turn my life back around. I’m already a public figure, I’m famous. … It’s like, I might as well keep it going, might as well make the money. People are always going to talk shit — I cannot make myself unfamous.”
ON HER FUTURE
“I need to make money for my family and my future family. I’m not a YOLO person. I think 25 years from now. I think about my future kids, future husband, future house.”
