Album Intros and Addressing the Haters
Cardi B discussed her approach to album intros, expressing her desire to use them to address all the challenges and controversies she faces in her career. She emphasized that after setting the record straight in the intro, the rest of the album should be about having fun because, as she put it, “I like fun.” This candid approach is one of the reasons fans love her.
Vintage Mugler and Fashion
The charismatic rap sensation also talked about her appreciation for fashion, particularly her experience wearing vintage Mugler. She expressed immense pride in being chosen to wear a museum piece by the late renowned designer. Cardi’s journey from the Bronx to the world of high fashion shows her rising star power.
Admiration for Music Moguls

Passion for History and World War II
One of the most unexpected revelations from the interview was Cardi’s passion for history, particularly her fascination with World War II. She enthusiastically shared, “I’m obsessed with World War II... I’m obsessed with just learning everything about it.” Cardi even recounted her awe at being in a room where Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt discussed nuclear matters during the war. This unexpected interest adds depth to her public persona and shows a different side of the artist.
Alter Ego
