Cardi B Says She Was "Under A Lot Of Pressure To Deliver Another Hit'

Cardi B topped the charts with “WAP,” but before she released her single with Megan Thee Stallion, she felt pressure to deliver another major hit.

Speaking with SiriusXM, the Grammy-winning rapper opened up about the anxiety she faced from the industry and the public to top her debut album Invasion of Privacy, which spawned a pair of No. 1 hits, “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It.”

“I just felt like I was under a lot of pressure, like if you don’t have like a super crazy smash, it’s like, ‘Oh you flop, flop, flop.’ The song could be like 2x platinum.”

“You’re always under pressure and then I feel like it’s not fair because there are male artists that will go two years without putting a fu**ing song out and they don’t be like, ‘Oh, you’re irrelevant. It’s over for you.'”
