“Nobody could fucking finish me,” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper says in a new interview with Spotify.
Cardi B’s long-awaited sophomore album, Am I The Drama?, is out on Friday, and the rapper has been busy spreading the word. The latest event on her press schedule, which follows a busy weekend making appearances at New York Fashion Week with her daughter, Kulture, is a new interview with none other than Kelly Rowland dropping with Spotify on Monday afternoon. The FADER is sharing an exclusive clip from the conversation, where the rapper gets candid about what it’s like navigating the fickle internet world and online haters.
“It’s a lot of pressure. It’s a lot of, one day they love you, one day they don’t. One day they’re really hard on you, and I have to understand that, nobody could ever finish me. Not the Internet, not a bitch, not a n*gga — nobody could fucking finish me,” she tells Rowland with all her signature charm and bravado.
The clip is part of a longer conversation that was in full as part of Spotify’s Countdown To series at 6 p.m. EST on Monday. Later in the conversation, Cardi adds that she knows her worth and what she’s good at: “I’m very professional, and I’m very street smart… I could survive anything, bitch.”
While she’s surely being somewhat hyperbolic, recent events have certainly proven the overwhelming accuracy of that statement. During a recent court appearance, in which a Los Angeles security guard sued Cardi B for alleged assault, the rapper’s hilarious and frank testimonials went viral on the internet, ultimately leading to Cardi getting cleared of all charges.
The singer’s Am I The Drama? is her first album release since her 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy. The record will contain 23 songs including previously released singles “Imaginary Playerz,” “Outside,” “Up,” and “WAP.”
