“They wasn’t believing and now they are!”
Cardi B is easily one of the best and female rappers in the industry right now and she damn well knows it. Her come-up is respected and by no means was it easy for her to get established and it’s for that reason that why she said it’s been “kinda easier for a lot” of female artists after her to feel the shine.
“Like before me, there was no female rapper that was signed to a label – well, you know the ones that had already been established. Nobody was signing them. And now, everybody’s just signing them if you could rap and you got a couple of followers because nobody want to miss the opportunity,” she added while chopping it up with Tidal’s Elliot Wilson.
As we often see, of course Cardi’s words brought up a lot of discrepancy from the hate brigade as they dow with everything she says, forcing the “Bodak Yellow” rapper to share a number of tweets basically clarifying what she meant. “I didn’t say I pave the way for female rappers but I deff gave the hood and women hope. Nikkas wasn’t collabing with females rappers.Labels where signing female rappers and putting them in a shelf and not focusing on them.Not giving them proper attention,” she wrote in her first tweet.
She detailed how it previously seemed “impossible” for there to be more than one female rapper and male artists weren’t even taking money from female features because they didn’t see a point.
“And ya can deny it as much as ya want and say I’m crazy or stfuu but how many female rappers before me where getting chances or getting pushed ? They wasn’t believing and now they are!” she added. Peep more of her tweets below. It’s funny how those who are so quick to challenge everything Cardi says are missing the fact that what she’s saying is actually a good thing. She wants to and is happy to see other women winning. Thoughts?
