Cardi B grew her multi-million-dollar celebrity brand by being an outspoken personality unafraid to tackle tough issues. However, the 31-year-old hitmaker has fallen back on addressing polarizing topics.
Big Boy’s Neighborhood recently hosted Cardi B for a radio interview. While promoting her new “Enough (Miami)” record, the Bronx native talked about the fear of getting canceled by the public.
“That’s why I just disappear for a long time because I feel like fame stripped me from myself. And now I’m like being back to myself,” Cardi B admitted to Big Boy when he asked about so-called cancel culture.
The Grammy winner then added, “There’s a lot of music critics that just be like, ‘Cardi is scared to drop an album. She’s scared to drop music.’ No, I’m scared to do everything. I’m scared to talk about politics. I’m scared to talk about my life. I’m scared to talk about anything.”
Earlier in the conversation, Cardi B confirmed that she does not plan to vote in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. She previously supported candidates such as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and President Joe Biden.
