“I was afraid to go live, I was afraid to post a picture, I was afraid to go to the club, and then the next day seeing people, what they going to say about me, and everything. I was afraid to do everything,” she continued.

Cardi also stated that she has never taken a break from the internet, ever since blowing up as a social media star before her rap career took off in 2015.

“I love talking about politics and everything. I don’t even want to talk about it anymore because I’m just so afraid of just getting dragged every single f-cking day like I’m tired,” she admitted.

“I did do a thing for Ice Spice, but I just did not like how it sound,” she said of “Munch.” “I love the record, I did not like how I sound. You know it being on a drill beat, it’s not as easy as it look. … I was like, ‘They’re gonna drag me and they’re going to drag the song bad.’”

Cardi is among several stars who first made it big on reality TV.
