Cardi B opened up about the current pressure she’s facing in her career in a Vogue magazine cover story. While reflecting on the perceived disappointment of her 2019 single “Press,” which peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, the Atlantic Records artist admitted she feels like many onlookers want to see her success stop.
“I thought ‘Press’ was fun and it was gangsta, and then because it didn’t perform as good as my other songs, people was like, Oh, she’s a flop; oh, she’s dying out,” she said. “This whole year has just been a lot for me. I feel like people are just so tired of me winning. I will look for my name on Twitter, and it’s like hate tweets, hate tweets, hate tweets.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Cardi explained how the creation of her sophomore album has been much harder than her debut Invasion Of Privacy. She spoke on the balancing act she’s faced with following her breakthrough LP, which won a Grammy Award and dominated the Billboard charts.
“The first time it was just me being myself,” she noted. “I didn’t even care if people was gonna like it or not. When I found out I did so good, I’m like, is this a big number? Everybody was like, yes, this is a huge number. So it’s scary because it’s like, now you got to top your first album, and then it’s like, damn. I wonder if people are gonna relate to the new things, to the new life, to the new shit that I gotta talk about now.”
Cardi added, “Music is changing. I feel like people just wanna hear twerk-twerk music, but it’s like, is that just a phase? I probably need a sexy song. I need a lot of turn-up songs. I need a slow song, a personal song. And those are harder for me—I always need help when it comes to talking about my feelings. It’s hard for me to be soft, period. So it’s a lot of thoughts, a lot of pressure. It’s really like a job.”

You are an ex hooker. Your whole career is basically glorifying that disgusting fact. You may have money but your soul is eating you alive. That’s not winning, it’s the ultimate form of losing.
The poor thot is in denial smh
Who okay’ed that magazine cover? Her bags look awful. Photoshop those things or something. And sitting like a dude. This is one of the most famous people in the world… actually not surprised, half the country has double digit IQs.
This explosive diarrheal skunk is nothing more than a skinny lizzo with plastic surgery. She literally looks like curious george and behaves like it too.
when is the last time she won? when the grammy came her way? oh btw yall say #grammyssowhite right? fuck outta here she a flash in the pan.
You know what I’m tired of? All you white guys commenting on Hip Hop sites…Go somewhere else
You are getting a taste of your own medicine and it makes your blood boil! Hahaha
And yet here you are…that comment made your blood boil…I can say that he certainly accomplished his goal…to get a person he was referring to to respond
When’s the last time you’ve been noticed by the Entire World?
Never!!!!
But you making comments like you somebody.
Go sit your hating ass somewhere else.
No one in the entire world knows who the HELL you losers are! But y’all trying to cut down another person for following their dreams? That’s the most HATER thing I’ve ever witnessed.
You gotta be the biggest losers in life to insult someone pursuing their goals, while you nobodies act like your comments count! It doesn’t. Just like your sad ass lives don’t.
Get a life..
It ain’t like that bro. She is straight up garbage. Her songs can be catchy, sure, but she has talent, she can’t write or battle, and now that she has all the money she does she doesn’t use it to better herself, but she wants to remain as garbage.
This is my dream, im living it. Stop shitting on me for pursuing my passion, bitch.
Her talent is flaunting the lifestyle of her last profession. And you choose to support someone like that. It is you that needs to get a life.
Cardi is no Angel. The bitch said she drugged men and set them up with trans.
*WHINING
Yup, thats why…I got a tally on my wall win by win of Cardi B’s that just drives me insane. These are the type of things Donald Trump says tho, so I find this ironically hilarious
