More like he fumbled Cardi. Let’s be finest, they always wanna give credit to a MAN for what a woman accomplished. She was a joke to him. He didn’t take Cardi seriously did his actions by choosing Mariah Lynn over Cardi proves that. You can’t get credit for being in the presence of somebody before they pop. He was just somebody she met along the way to stardom. Cardi alone, thru sheer star power got Cardi over. If she had a shit personality, she would have popped w the music alone but she wouldn’t be a household name. Everyone knows Cardi based off her personality alone.

@godofthisshit the quality of people in the U.S. has 0% value in what they consider artistic, good, or beautiful. Saying people like her means nothing. You know this. Idiots with bad taste out populate the rest. Lol, those in defense of her music have no foundation to argue her talent side by with actual great artists. That all. Today, it's only how you market yourself in order to succeed. because talent has taken back a seat these days. We know this.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

@David Torresani When it comes to rappers each has to make their own lane. Cardi B has come a long way - - she is not just a "rapper" but a personality, wild and crazy, she's from the streets and people like that about her. Mad spicy. She took the strip club approach (as did Eve from Ruff Riders) and used it to learn how to perform. In terms of her pen game? Questionable yes, but when you let one in you can't close the doors. The game has changed, you know the drill, how you look is more important.
