This colorism conversation with Cardi is one I’ll have to disagree with her on. She’ll never truly understand the struggles of Black women, and I think that’s an important perspective she’s missing
@cardiloveme That's not the point. Colorism doesn't mean every light-skinned woman is guaranteed success or opportunities. It means that being lighter-skinned can afford you certain advantages that darker-skinned women are often denied. We're talking about systemic advantages here...
Nobody is denying Cardi's hard work. The point is that she can work hard AND benefit from colorism. Two things can be true at once. Acknowledging privilege doesn't erase your accomplishments. I fear the nuance is getting lost
Cardi B gifted herself the Rolex Daytona 'Barbie' watch ($2,850,000) for her birthday. The watch is one of the most exclusive timepieces ever produced with fewer than 10 pieces existing worldwide. Superstars like Lionel Messi, Drake, and Mark Wahlberg have been seen wearing it.
@cardipradaa “Cardi B does know me” BITCH, the only thing that woman knows about you is absolutely NOTHING. Imagine being this embarrassingly devoted to a woman who wouldn’t know your ass from a hole in the ground. Get the fuck up 🤣
@Many2Mirrors The intellectual ineptitude is astounding. I critiqued the watch, not expressed a desire to own it. The fact that y'all can't distinguish between an opinion and an aspiration is a damning indictment of your comprehension skills. Get a clue!
@cardipradaa Tell me sumn, can YOU afford a $3m watch? I guess we both ain't shit then. And this is what I mean when I say some of y'all be living vicariously through celebrities and confusing their pockets with your own. Cardi don't know you and that watch AIN'T yours. Get a grip loser 😂
In a conversation with The New York Times, Cardi B reflected on the music icons who shaped her artistic identity.
She says watching her mother’s Madonna DVDs gave her an early blueprint for pop stardom, while rap legends Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown, and Trina deeply influenced her bold approach to image, sexuality, and female hip-hop.She also performed Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance at her high school talent show.
