Cardi B is not just one of the biggest hip hop artist of our time, she's also one of the most talkative celebrities out there. Her Instagram account alone has over 80 million followers who love watching her comment on all kinds of things, ranging from politics to nails. The "WAP" rapper considers herself pretty shy. She doesn't go out much and she doesn't mingle with other A-listers. She much prefers the company of the Bardi Gang.
Those who adore Cardi get nothing but kindness back from her. She rarely discusses other celebs at length, but when she does, she keeps her statements short and straight-forward.
10 On Jay-Z: "I Think That He Could Make A Change, You Know What I'm Saying?"
Taken outside the context, this statement is incredibly flattering. Cardi made this comment back in 2019 when Jay-Z partnered up with the NFL. "I feel like he went in there like, 'All right, if you guys want me to work with y'all, y'all need to put my people in here. Y'all need to do things my way.' I feel like he's gonna change it."
She also added that she believes that Jay-Z can bring back Colin Kaepernick. She certainly has a lot of faith in him and understands that he is one of the most influential people in the world.
9 To Azealia Banks: “You Think You're Advocating For Women And You're Doing The Opposite!
Cardi B's most famous feud is the one with Nicki Minaj, even though the two women never came at each other as hard as Azealia Banks did on Cardi. Banks called the "Bodak Yellow" star “caricature of a black woman”. She called "Invasion of Privacy" a culture shock and claimed that she'd never get away with poor spelling and grammar.
Cardi B defended herself and told the "212" singer off: "Just because I mix a few words up, forget to use commas or misspell a few words doesn’t make me illiterate and doesn’t make me stupid. And because I laugh a little harder or talk a little louder doesn’t make me a caricature!"
8 Megan Thee Stallion: "She's Quirky Like Me, She Smiles, Like, A Lot Like Me"
Most only found out about Megan Thee Stallion within the last year, thanks to her hit song "Savage" and the collab she did with Cardi, "WAP". In an interview for SiriusXM, Cardi explained how the two met: "Our stylist linked us up ... We was cracking mad jokes, like it was just mad funny. She's so bubbly." She added that she wishes that she met her sooner. She said that working with Megan was like "straight butter" - the young lady is quite the professional!
Apparently, Cardi B is pretty shy, so she doesn't befriend celebrities very often.
7 "Isn't Lizzo, Like, The Nicest Person In The World?"
September wasn't an easy month for Cardi. Of all the celebrities who filed for divorce in 2020, her break up made the most waves. During those trying times, Lizzo sent Cardi a bouquet of flowers with a note that read: "Flowers for a flower. Congrats on all your success this summer—know you are loved and are love."
Cardi was clearly moved: "Isn't Lizzo, like, the nicest person in the world? Look what she sent me, she is just a beautiful a** person, I just love her so much. These are so pretty."
6 "I’m Selling One Of Kris Jenner's Napkins On eBay!!"
In the summer of 2018, Cardi got invited over to Kris Jenner's house to spend some time with the Kardashian family. There, she received some advice from the world's most famous momager: "People are going to talk badly about you, but it doesn't really matter as long as you're making money."
She ended up spending seven hours with Kim and Kanye, Kris, and Corey Gamble. She also stole one napkin that Kris Jenner used and announced that she's selling it on eBay.
5 About Her Husband Offset: "I Know He Hates Coffee And Will Never Step In A Starbucks Unless It’s For Me."
Cardi B's and Offset's turbulent relationship timeline just got a new chapter: they are back together again, leaving their marital spats behind. She shared with her fans that she loves it when he brings her coffee: "I know he hates coffee and will never step in a Starbucks unless it's for me."
4 Selena Gomez: "She Is An Alter Ego That Everybody Would Want To Be And I Want The World To Know How Much I Love Her."
Those who are familiar with Cardi's lyrics on "Motor Sport" know that she called herself the "trap Selena". Some of Selena's fans were offended by the line, reminding Cardi B of where she came from and the fact that she used to be a stripper.
Cardi explained that she only has love for Selena: "I think it’s an honor because it just shows that Selena is a legend and she’s being recognized – not just in the Latino community or in Latin music, she’s worldwide." Considering how much love Cardi has for Selena, it would be awesome if she made it to her best friends list.
3 Kylie Jenner "Treated My Sister And Daughter So Lovely At Her Kid B-day Party."
"WAP" didn't just make the headlines because of the blunt and controversial lyrics; many had a problem with the Kylie Jenner cameo. Cardi B explained why she included her in the music video: "She treated my sister and daughter so lovely at her kid b-day party."
Being kind seems to go a really long way with Cardi B!
2 Beyoncé: "I’m Surprised Beyoncé Liked Me."
Beyoncé is such an influential figure that even celebrities freak out when they are about to meet her. Cardi B couldn't process the fact that she met her, she found it hard to breathe. She said she was surprised that Queen Bey liked her. She must have thought that her straight-forward attitude won't sit well with her, but she was proven otherwise.
1 On Baby Kulture: "I Can Tell She's Gonna Be A Personality."
Cardi B is well aware of the fact that her daughter Kulture was born rich and that she will never have to overcome such hardships as Cardi. The 2 year-old is already a celebrity, enjoying a lavish lifestyle and developing the type of a personality that makes her momma proud.
She elaborated: "This girl gets in a pool every single day; I can't swim because I barely went to the pool. ... I want her to know that just because you have money, that doesn't mean you're super-privileged."
