Cardi B is a groundbreaking rapper of global fame. The new mom is always being talked about. She can easily be named one of the top trends of 2018. From her infamous celebrity beef with Nicki Minaj to reports of being arrested, she remains relevant.
However, the lovable rapper also works hard on her craft and is currently ranked on lists of the top female rappers in the world. In an in-depth interview with W Magazine, the new mom gave all the details of her journey so far being a mother to Kulture, her child with her husband, Offset.
She addressed why she had to drop out of Bruno Mars tour, and how women do not fully discuss and prepare you for the aftermath of labour. This is an issue new moms have been complaining about. Earlier this year, Chrissy Teigen also referenced emotional and physical post-partum effects.
“Four weeks after giving birth, I was supposed to start rehearsals for a fall tour with Bruno Mars, and I couldn’t even squat down,” Cardi said, explaining why she decided to drop out. “People don’t really talk about what you go through after pregnancy. Like, they don’t tell you that you get stitches down there or that your first two weeks you’re constipated.
Or that you get contractions because of breastfeeding. I wasn’t expecting that. When Kulture was born, I felt like I was a kid again; everything was making me cry, and I needed a lot of love. I be feeling like, Do babies know who’s they mom? I feel like babies love whoever is giving them the milk, and I want to give the milk the whole time. I want her to know me.”
She also discussed how she manages her relationship despite all the vicious rumours regarding her husband, Offset.
“Every single day there’s rumors about me and my dude. And it almost drives me crazy, because I start to believe them. I don’t have no proof. I don’t have receipts. But I just got to know my man. We practically on the phone 24 hours a day. If I can’t find him, I’m going to find his friend.
Somebody going to answer the phone. But I cannot be feeling insecure, to a point that I would drive my dude away, because these people want that to happen.”
On how she met and started dating Offset, she had this to say;
“When I got married with my dude, we still had a lot of doubts, because our relationship is not like everybody’s,” she said. “He was always traveling, and I was always traveling. We’re artists. So I used to see him, like, twice a week, and, you know, he’s known for having different women, and I’m known for, like, not taking shit from guys. But we really loved each other, and we was scared to lose each other.”
