Cardi B Says There’s ‘Something’ About Her That Other Rap…
Cardi B definitely takes notice of how other women rappers treat her.
“For some reason, it’s something about me that these bitches can’t stand,” Cardi told Zane Lowe at around the 15:10 minute mark.
“They can’t fuck with me. Some bitches, I feel like they’re on this class right now, they’re sophomores, and I’m a senior. And it’s like you want to fuck with the senior so bad. You think you’re here with the senior. You’re not even a junior.”
“And it’s like you need to worry about them other sophomores before you start worrying about here, the fucking senior,” she continued. “But it’s something about it that it’s like they can’t even focus on them. They got to focus on me. And they always got to focus on throwing me shots and throwing me slings. No matter if you’re a fucking sophomore or in motherfucking college, it’s me.”
Cardi has had a longstanding, high-profile beef with Nicki Minaj that has continued for nearly a decade. Rumors of their feud began in 2017, while they were waging a cold war highlighted by shady interviews and sneak disses. Then, in 2018, the pair engaged in a physical altercation during New York Fashion Week at Harper’s Bazaar Icon party and their bad blood became public.
The Bronx hit-maker’s new comments also follow remarks she made last week about “grown ass men” praying on her downfall. Cardi took to X Spaces, where she complained about men throwing shade at her and her music, particularly following the arrival of her new Jay-Z sampling single, “Imaginary Playerz.”
“For people to dog pile on me over one song,” she said. “And when it comes to dog piling, it’s not even just like, ‘Oh well, I don’t like this song,’ because if you don’t like this song, fine, but to come at the way I speak, to make narratives of how I think I am and who the fuck I think I am, to talk about every single piece of me, to bet on my downfall is crazy.”
The 32-year-old is gearing up for the release of her sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, slated for release next month.
