In the age of social media, Cardi also shared the importance of capturing all of his special moments. After the rap duo bonded over Travis Scott’s Look Mom, I Can Fly documentary, the 26-year-old suggested he take a page out of his book.

“Just make sure you record every single time that you rap,” the told the ten-year-old Maryland native. “He [Travis Scott] had videos of when he was a little kid and I wish my parents would have recorded me.
