The enchanting Cardi B! She may seem like the baddest-ass hip hop artist working today — there is nobody like her — but she gets intimidated like anybody else. Who makes Cardi quake? You gotta be big time, but it happens. Here in her kitchen she reveals Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga — that’s enough to make her nervous.
Back in high school at a talent show, she performed “Bad Romance” on stage and eventually Lady Gaga saw it. Could Cardi ever imagine back then that this would happen? “No, it’s crazy,” she says, but “hey, we love you in the hood, Lady Gaga.”
50 Cent, Ja Rule, Missy Elliott — those were the Cardi influences when she was growing up. Cardi B taking it from there.
