I know how much money I made that company.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cMy fans buy my s***. So it\u2019s like, \u2018When you\u2019re not paying me what you\u2019re paying these other people, why is that?\u2019 It\u2019s kind of insulting,\u201d the \u201cWAP\u201d singer said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAnd then when it comes to fashion, hip-hop is a big influence. And yet, Black artists have the hardest time getting pulls from designers and the hardest time getting seats at their fashion shows, and barely get endorsed by big fashion brands that we literally make trend,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI\u2019m just asking because I feel the same way,\u201d Carey said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAnd I have it a different way because people don\u2019t know how to categorize me sometimes, and that sucks,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut I think people should listen to the words you say, because you\u2019re saying it from firsthand experience. You\u2019ve gotten less than other artists who are not artists of color, and yet your influence has been way broader.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>During the same sit-down, Cardi admitted that she used to feel ashamed of being a stripper, and worried what her parents might think if they found out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first entered the strip club, I was really shy,\u201d she told Carey. \u201cI felt really uncomfortable. I felt very ashamed. There were times when I was crying, like, \u2018Oh my gosh, if my mom or my dad found out, they\u2019d be so humiliated.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I needed the f***ing money,\u201d Cardi said. \u201cI was living with my boyfriend at the time, but he wasn\u2019t doing s***. I used to smoke weed back then, so I felt like weed was necessary. I wanted money for weed and to move out. I just wanted enough money to rent a room. That\u2019s how desperate I was to get the f*** out of the situation I was in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in the interview, Cardi said her mother is now okay with her past stripping and vulgarity: \u201cWhen I told my mom I was a stripper that really bothered her for a minute. But now when she hears me saying grown s***, I don\u2019t think she gives a f*** anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cardi once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rapper-cardi-b-admits-drugging-and-robbing-men-she-amanda-prestigiacomo\">admitted<\/a> in an online video from 2016 that she used to drug and rob men whom she would lure to a hotel room with the promise of sex. She argued it was a necessary practice to survive when she worked as a stripper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rapper-cardi-b-admits-drugging-and-robbing-men-she-amanda-prestigiacomo\">Rapper Cardi B Admits To Drugging And Robbing Men She Lured To Hotel With Promised\u00a0Sex<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
