After winning one Grammy, a record-breaking new USA tour and four diamond-certified singles, fame wasn’t quite what thought it would be. “That’s why they say to be careful about what you wish for because you just might get it,” she tells us. “Being a celebrity comes with a lot and sometimes I feel I didn’t apply for this. But hey, it is what it is.”
Perhaps that pressure is exactly what fuels her new single, Ah Ha, a cathartic rant aimed at anyone standing on her way. “There’s a lot of jealousy around me all the time! It comes from these girls who think I want their baby daddy or that they are equal to me. Also from these guys… From everybody!”
But with fame also comes a life of constant travel – and sacrifices. As a mother of four children aged between eight months and nine years, Cardi says she tries to keep them close, but understands that sometimes work takes her away. What matters most is that they know exactly why she was gone. “I hope that my kids look at what I do and understand, ‘Mom was working her a** off.’ She wasn’t clubbing, she wasn’t dating, she wasn’t partying… Instead, she was making sacrifices for a better living.”
