Cardi B believes her success in the rap game caused record labels to give female rappers opportunities.

During a midnight session on  X Spaces, Cardi began by sharing how cyberbullying has taken a toll on her.

“I’ve seen a lot of tweets saying that the reason why my album wasn’t out. Why I stopped doing a lot of things, was because of my marriage,” Cardi said. “Truthfully and honestly, it wasn’t.”

“I don’t think you guys understood how much the internet bullying took a toll on me for a very long time,” she continued. “When I won the case [against] Tasha K and my lawyer was saying that I was like suicidal and all that stuff. That wasn’t for me to win the case. That was really my life.”

After navigating through those dark moments, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper is ready to take the world by storm again. And her success helped to usher in a new wave of female rappers.

“Now, nobody can tell me sh*t,” Cardi said. “Even just the other day, when people were trying to say, like, ‘Oh, Cardi didn’t open no doors and blah blah blah.’ I don’t give a f*ck about what y’all talking about. Labels literally have told me in my face, we started signing female rappers because of the success that you have.”

Like, even Kash Doll herself—she’ll say it herself. Labels were being real hard around 2017 with female rappers. No matter how good you rap, no matter how good you look, no matter how good anything, because it just wasn’t being done,” she continued. “It took ‘Bodak Yellow’ to show labels that you could really make money with female rappers; that female rappers is the new wave. And all these bitches would never admit it, but it’s the f*cking truth.”

Cardi has shaken off the haters, ignored the online bullies, and is committed to being her best self.

“Well, this year, I feel like I’m over that. I feel like nothing could affect me anymore. And I’m throwing arrows, throwing straight arrows … not letting nobody, no bitch, no n***a, no nothing, f*ck with me.”
