Charlamagne Tha God reflects on Cardi B's impact (Part 2)

In a way nobody's ever gonna understand why I need to be beefing. Cardi really comes from it. She really comes from the hood. She really comes from. So does Mona. So being that she really comes from it, when you really come from that extreme, it never leaves you. Yeah, you always relate. You always know what that feels like. Listen, I remember the first time I realized Cardi B was outta here. I always thought she was a superstar. I just didn't know what she was gonna be a star at. But then when she put out the gangsta bitch music and all of that stuff like that. But when Bodak Yellow came out, I remember being at. I was at somebody's house and it was like a birthday party for the person, but it was a house party. And I remember it was me, I was in the basement. Cause it was the night that Canelo Alvarez, I mean, not Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather fought Conor McGregor.

But I understood where Cardi was coming from with, you know, feeling like, yo, but Mona, like, you know, we supposed to be better than that. To the extent of like, you know, how this conversation's gonna angle around me. Yeah, we. And we actually talk. So let's talk about this and at least get it right when you're going to talk about it. And then, you know, go ahead, do your thing. I understand you got a job to do, but make sure you get it right when you talk about it. I got that.
