Cardi B

I want to be an artist artist, a real artist. I don't just want to do this for temporary money. ”

No man wants to accept they could be getting used for money. But it's OK for them to let us know that they use us? ”

I do feel kind of guilty sometimes 'cause, like, I could buy myself a $5,000 dress or a $3,000 dress, and I'm buying these things, but I'm knowing that my cousin need money for the rent. And then I gotta tell myself, 'Stop feeling guilty. You worked for this.' ”

I'd rather have money and be broken-hearted than be broke and broken-hearted. ”

My mom kicked me out a couple of weeks before my 18th birthday. I had a job for about six, seven months at a supermarket, and they fired me for being late. ”

I have 100 percent Bronx pride, like it's a country, like I am the Bronx. ”

I never thought I was going to be popular; I never thought I was going to be famous. ”

I'm so free-spirited. Everyone has a me inside them: that loud girl that just wanna go, 'Ayyyy!' No matter if you a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, it comes out. ”

My sister's name is Hennessy, so everybody used to be, like, 'Bacardi' to me. Then I shortened it to Cardi B. The 'B' stands for whatever, depending on the day... beautiful or bully. ”

I'm not as open as I used to be. I'm a little bit more filtered, and it kind of sucks, but it's the price you pay to get paid. ”
