and setting a record for the most streams for a song in a single week . With its eye-popping, cameo-filled video and a feature from one of hip-hop’s biggest new stars, “WAP” checked the usual boxes needed for a hit in 2020. But the song’s success had a deeper significance, too: It was a clever Trojan horse for the myriad ways Cardi influences the culture with every move she makes.
Less than two weeks before that Instagram video, Cardi B is in Los Angeles, talking over Skype, her signature humor and sharp wit clearly on display. She pokes fun at my poor connection , and over the course of our wide-ranging conversation proves yet again why, in a year like no other, a singular woman ruled.
When Biden’s projected win was finally announced, we saw that kind of unity — especially when your fans sang “WAP” outside the White House. What was it like to see that? You brought your daughter, Kulture, along to participate in the Show Me the Signs campaign, which paid tribute to Breonna Taylor and Black women killed by police. Why was it important to involve her at such a young age?
I want to show people that you can do positive things, but you can also be yourself. I’m a very sexual person. I love sex, and I like to rap about it. I like to do it. I admire my husband’s penis. I love pussy, and I love my body, and I want to be able to express that. I’m just a naughty girl, and I’m not hurting nobody because I love my pussy and want to rap about it.
When female artists are rising, you don’t have to put one down because the others are rising. Every single time a female rapper comes out, people wanna start fake beef. Maybe because they don’t see me [with other women] as often as people want to. The thing is, I’m shy — and really shy to reach out to male artists, to be honest with you. That’s why a lot of collabs that I want, I haven’t gotten yet because I’m scared to reach out. I always get a little star-struck.
As Kulture gets older, how will you approach social media with her, knowing what you do about how reckless people can be?
