Cardi B<\/a> is responding to a critic who says her music career is akin to \u201ca quick hustle, not an art form.\u201d<\/p>\n The comment was made by an X user on Monday (Sept. 22), who said that the rapper \u201cdoesn’t have passion or love for hip-hop \u2014 she treats it like a quick hustle, not an art form.\u201d<\/p>\n X<\/span><\/p>\n They continued, \u201cThe truth is, she has zero real talent and can’t rap. A lot of these young female rappers saw how someone untalented like Cardi could rise, and they thought, \u2018If she can do it, so can l.\u2019 That’s why the game feels watered down now. Too many of them don’t rap with soul, heart, or lyrical depth. It’s not about skill, storytelling, or pushing the culture forward anymore \u2014 it’s just clout chasing and copying a formula.\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n iamcardib \/ X<\/span><\/p>\n In response, Cardi defended her artistry and work ethic in a since-deleted tweet, writing, \u201cIt’s funny to say this cause …when I drop a album I get a multi million advance ,l charge around 1.5 to 2.5 million a show …so if I treat it as a hustle I would drop about ten songs a year call it a album get my advance ,festivals and tour and do about 50 million just of MUSIC ALONE in a year! THAT WOULD BE SO EASY!<\/p>\n \u201cI took my time with this album ..there’s fun …yet pain ,anger and just music that I LIKE not a&rs not labels what I LIKE ! I love good clothes, good food, good visuals so my music that I feed gotta be good too.\u201d<\/p>\n The response comes on the heels of her new album Am I the Drama?, which arrived seven years after her Grammy-winning debut Invasion of Privacy.<\/p>\n Cardi\u2019s long-awaited album also includes disses at aimed at fellow rappers JT on \u201cMagnet\u201d<\/a> and Bia on \u201cPretty and Petty.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n After Joe Budden questioned<\/a> whether she wrote the scathing disses herself on his podcast, Cardi fired back on X writing, \u201cWhoever wrote it?? Nah that’s CARDI.. this is my process… I’m a natural roaster and you already know im quick with the mouth so I’ll be coming up with lines and l’ll record myself then lay it later.. Don’t give me backhanded 10’s cuz l’ll always be able to prove my shit.\u201d<\/p>\n Just days before the album dropped, Cardi made headlines again during an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings by announcing she\u2019s pregnant with her fourth child, her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite the pregnancy, she\u2019s already planning ahead, revealing on the Joe & Jada podcast with Fat Joe and Jadakiss that she intends to stay active with gym sessions and dance classes during her pregnancy to prepare her body for her Little Miss Drama Tour<\/a>, which is set to kick off in February 2026 with arena dates in major cities.<\/p>\n \u201cNext week, that’s when I finish the whole album run. Album run was doing magazine covers, doing interviews, doing music videos, doing all of that. That’s done,\u201d she said on the podcast<\/a>. \u201cNow I’m going to the gym, I’m taking dance classes so my body could be nice and loose. When I give birth, now it’s straight [to] rehearsal. Straight rehearsal with the dancers. Then in February, I’m ready to fucking bust a move. My thing [is], \u2018ain\u2019t no stopping.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 6ix9ine Brings Up Rumor That Migos Split Because Offset Slept With Saweetie: ‘That’s Rat Material’<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Cardi B Is the Newst Voice of Train Etiquette PSAs That Will Play in New York City Subways<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Cardi B Shuts Down Nick Cannon Comparisons: ‘All My Kids Live in the Same House’<\/span><\/p>\n Dame Dash Tells Cam’ron and 50 Cent ‘I Don’t Wanna Fight With Y’all No More’: ‘This Sh*t Is Corny’<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n 6ix9ine Claims Multiple Rappers Slept With Bhad Bhabie Before She Turned 18<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
