Cardi B

I'ma sound like all your favorite rappers.

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

Make more than the guys you thought you wanted to be with.

What counts the most for women is having the confidence to make your own money.

You can't tell me that I can't dress!

I love Lady Gaga. When I was in high school, I really wanted to dress like her.

Libras like to take risks!

That's why I be so careful with my money and always try to invest. I see people who have it all and then lose it.

It's not even the female rappers that are catty - it's the fans. They just want that beef.

When I was 19, 20, 21, I wasn't extremely thick.

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

I don't feel like anyone should follow what I did.

I really don't look up to anybody that is doing that great in life, because I don't know their story.

That was an organic relationship. He reached out to me, and I was like, 'Oh my God, I cannot believe somebody like Laquan Smith wants to put his clothes on me.' He comes from a small place, and he has big dreams, and what I like about him the most is that his clothes curve with your body.

A lot of designers, they did tell me no. They didn't really wanna work with me.

I'm not domestic. I think I will be. I love kids. I really want to have a kid, but I'm not a domestic person.

What I'm trying to say to girls is don't let these guys be in your head.

Me and my mom are pretty cool. My mother's Caribbean, and she gets a little spicy, and I get a little spicy back.

I just feel like I influence people because I'm like - I was practically homeless.

When I do music, I don't feel like it's competition. Then again, it kinda is, but I don't like thinking like that. And I don't understand why they do that to women and, especially, women in hip-hop.
