If there's one thing Cardi B is going to do on a Monday morning, it's tell you exactly what's on her mind. And this time, it was all about hair.
On Mar. 29, the rapper shared a series of tweets, comments, and photos of her natural hair via Instagram. The first was a screenshot of the star explaining how her ethnic heritage has nothing to do with her texture, after fans commented that the only reason Cardi has long hair is because she's a Latinx woman. She also added photos that showed off the diversity of her 'fro.
...
In the caption, she revealed that she will be coming out with a haircare line and further explained that race and ethnicity are two separate things.
"This year I will be coming out with a hairline that I been working on at home for my hair and my daughters however, I think is time for people to educate themselves on nationality, race and ethnicity," Cardi wrote. "Being Hispanic/Latina don't make your hair long, don't make your skin light or don't make your face features slim specially Latin countries from the Caribbean islands."
"Dna have something to do with your hair not your nationality but guess what you can always maintain your hair," she continued. "And one more things not everyone that speaks Spanish is Mexican."
Cardi has yet to share what exactly will be included in her haircare collection, however since she's been testing them at home and on her daughter, there's a good chance they're all-natural.
And here's another article:
Cardi B Was 'Nervous' Over Meeting Kylie Jenner
Why Cardi B's "Up" is No. 1. on the Billboard Hot 100.
Just over a week later, right on schedule, Cardi B has a new No. 1 song. Her combination Chicago drill–plus–NOLA bounce jam is the biggest song in our itching-to-be-vaccinated, ready-to-party nation. Who's feeling "Up"? Apparently, we all are.
For the record, the woman born Belcalis Almánzar wasn't sweating this at all. Cardi B was very happy with her then–No. 2 hit. The week of its debut, she tweeted thanks to her fans for giving her the highest solo debut for a female rapper since Lauryn Hill dropped "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998 . The key word in that stat is "solo"; "Up" is just Cardi, no duet or featured performers. She even said in her tweet that she'd "over succeeded"—you can't fake that kind of Zen. Call me naïve, but the fact that she threw no shade Olivia Rodrigo's way really indicates she would've been content if "Up" had gone no higher than the runner-up slot.
In other words, this is a shit-talking record about ending your drama and owning your awesome. Its combination of drill austerity with bounce energy achieves, to my ears, a pretty neat trick: Cardi has produced a joyous drill song—which sounds oxymoronic, even borderline impossible, yet she makes it work. When she launched with "Bodak Yellow" four years ago, Cardi was a rousing, bruisingly feminist , take-no-shit newcomer, and her breakthrough hit was all menace. "Up" has the same fierceness and braggadocio, but it somehow sounds, well … up —a kind of 2021 sequel to Mary J. Blige's spartan 2001 party jam, the Dr. Dre–produced " Family Affair ."
I'm increasingly convinced Cardi B is a buzz- and goodwill-generating magician. She hasn't even released her second album, and yet for two years running, she's remained at the center of the culture through the deployment of just two winning singles. In the lead-up to this year's Grammys, several observers pointed out that the awards' all-time solo queen, Beyoncé , had garnered the most nominations in a year when she didn't actually release a new album. But Bey, who always puts in the work, spent 2020 doing a whole lot: releasing her musical film Black Is King , the accompanying single "Black Parade" that scored record and song nominations, plus a fiery remix of Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage" that itself won awards. Cardi B produced a fraction as much output but generated just as much buzz—last summer, at the height of "WAP," considerably more—and with "Up," it's still going. She's such an efficient superstar, forever poppin' shit, pullin' up, and droppin' shit.

Cardi B wants to be a 'billion-dollar woman' like Rihanna | Entertainment | insidenova.com
The 'Up' hitmaker - who has two-year-old daughter Kulture with husband Offset - looks up to artists like the 'Work' hitmaker, 33, and the hip-hop superstar, 51, who have built lucrative business empires alongside successful music careers and wants to follow in their footsteps.
Speaking to Stationhead, the 28-year-old rapper said: "When I came to the game and people used to be like, 'Who do you look up to?' I always used to say, 'I don't look up to nobody,' because I didn't really understand the game and I only feel like I got influenced by the people that was around me.
...
'" just feel like they're so influential because Rihanna comes from a country, a Caribbean country, that my parents came from and she's a whole billionaire.
"But for her to make her business so big and be a billionaire, that's what I strive to be. That's what I want. I want to be a billion-dollar woman."
Speaking about rapper Jay-Z - who is married to Beyoncé - Cardi added how "he's from the hood just like me. He's from the hood and this man's a whole billionaire. And that's just all about strategy and that's just all about shaking hands, that's just all about putting plans together."
Rihanna is a billionaire largely thanks to her Savage x Fenty lingerie line, while '99 Problems' hitmaker Jay-Z has several business ventures and most recently sold a majority stake in streaming service to Tidal and 50 per cent of his champagne brand to LVMH, which shifted his net worth to a whopping $1.4 billion.
Fact check: Meme makes misleading claims about Dr. Seuss, Cardi B song
Recent announcements about some Dr. Seuss books being discontinued , toy giant Hasbro changing Mr. Potato Head's name and advisory notices on Disney+ episodes have brought forth complaints from social media users of "cancel culture."
One meme that has been shared widely on Facebook criticizes the changes made by the companies and claims that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's hit track "WAP" can win song of the year, while children's books and TV shows require caution.
Accompanying the text is a photo of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion from the "WAP" music video, images of "The Cat in the Hat" and characters from "The Muppet Show."
The same meme has been shared by hundreds of users across Facebook in posts that have racked up thousands of shares.
In a message to USA TODAY, Andrew Hodge, one of the users who shared the meme, said that "The Cat in the Hat" claim included in the meme is "a bit of a stretch."
"I know that portion of the meme is not true, however the idea of ANY Dr Seuss book being deemed inappropriate when you have songs such as WAP out there as a number 1 anything is completely ridiculous in my opinion," he said.
...
While the meme does not specify where Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP" was awarded song of the year, the track is not nominated for a Grammy Award.
According to Teen Vogue , "WAP" was not submitted to be considered for a Grammy because Cardi B wanted to wait for the release of her entire album. The Grammys are March 14. Cardi B's album has no release date.
The song did make history by becoming the first female collaboration to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, according to " Entertainment Tonight ."

Cardi B gives her two cents on Gia Giudice's viral TikTok sound Sad Song | Daily Mail Online
Cardi B is giving her two cents on a viral TikTok sound called Sad Song that has swept the platform over the past month.
The WAP hitmaker took her musings to Twitter on Friday morning where she gave a special shout out the sound's original creator — which has been revealed to be Gia Giudice, the daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey vet Teresa Giudice.
Speaking about the now inescapable tune — a song Gia originally wrote and performed on the Bravo show when she was 10-years-old — Cardi joked she would miss the song if she were to delete the app.

The tune, which uses the soundbite: 'Waking up in the morning/thinking about so many things/I just wish things would get better...' has been paired with countless videos from users about the memorable and often cringeworthy things they've done in the past.
'Thinking about deleting this app until I drop my next little project ...but then again where I'm going to hear 'wakin up in the morning thinkin about so many things I just wish things will get better'?' Cardi tweeted .
...
Other celebrities including Will Smith, have paired their own videos with the sound, Smith writing: 'Remembering the time I thought it would be a good idea to make a St. Patrick's Day video alone in a hotel room.'
