She has had quite the week.
The 25-year-old Bronx, N.Y., native sat down with Hot 97โs Ebro on Monday to talk about her career, her pregnancy, her come up in the game and her relationship with her fiance, Offset.
When rumors began circulating that Cardi was pregnant, many questioned whether this was the right time for her to be having a child, considering the way her career is taking off.
To those people, Cardi asks, why canโt she have both?
Cardi said she heard people saying things like โI feel bad for herโ and โWhy is she doing that at the height of her career?โ
โAnd itโs just like, why canโt I have both?โ Cardi asked. โWhy do I have to choose a baby or a career?โ
โWhy canโt I have both?โ she asked again. โWhy do I have to be in my mid-30s to have a baby? What am I doing wrong?โ
โIโm a grown woman. Iโm not 16, 17, 20 years old,โ she continued. โIโm 25 years old, and Imma say this in the most humblest way: I am a millionaire. Iโm established. You know what Iโm saying? Itโs like โฆ the industry is never promised, but I know that if I make the right money moves, Iโm going to always have money.
โYou know, Iโm getting married,โ she added. โEverybody wanna joke around, โOh, youโre the fourth baby mama,โ this, this and that, but Iโm getting married. And even thoughโso, letโs say, God forbid, we donโt; my man is a great father to his kids, so I will never lose. Iโm not having a baby with a deadbeat.โ
Well, then.
Belcalis said donโt worry about her. Worry about yourself.
And if we are being honest, why canโt she have both? Why are people acting like that is improbable and impossible?
I have faith in Cardi, and I believe in her. I know she will do anything she sets her mind to. Weโve seen her come up from Love & Hip Hop to now.
She gonโ be all right.
