Cardi B may seem confident and secure, but that doesn’t mean internet comments don’t affect her.

“Like yesterday, I was scrolling through TikTok and a bitch made me cry,” she told the publication.

Cardi said the person in question had made a comment criticizing her talent as a rapper. “She was just like, ‘She has got to give it up. She’s better off being an influencer. You was cosplaying being a rapper. Because you don’t take it seriously. That’s why you don’t put out your music,'” she recalled.

Cardi’s last full-length release was her Grammy-winning 2018 debut, Invasion of Privacy, but she insists the delay isn’t because she doesn’t take her craft seriously.

“It’s like, I take my music so fucking seriously that that’s why I don’t put it out,” she told Rolling Stone. “Because if it’s not perfect to my ear, if every fucking word doesn’t sound like it’s pronounced right, if the beat is overpowering the words or the words is overpowering the beat, I don’t want to put it out.”

She also previously said she developed anxiety from constantly being criticized, which kept her from releasing music and even going out.
Currently, she’s working on her follow-up to the album, which a rep confirmed is due for release later this year. In the meantime, she’s been keeping fans entertained with buzzy singles such as the recently released “Like What (Freestyle).”
