Cardi B fears public backlash if she expresses her personal experiences in her music.
In an interview with Rolling StoneCardi B spoke about her reluctance to delve into her private life in her songs.
She said, “I really want to talk about the life changes I've been dealing with for the last six or seven years,” adding, “but then I feel like people don't deserve to know because they use my pain against me.”
Despite her previous candor about her personal life and her commitment to political discourse, the Grammy-winning artist admitted to feeling a new fear of expressing herself freely, particularly in her music.
She said: “When I was off social media and no one knew what I was doing, I was very much at peace. But what am I going to do? Never post or never work again because that's peace? No,” adding: “I never want my daughter or son to give up on something because they can't handle the pressure of what people say about them.”
The rapper has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with her husband, Offset, whom she married in 2017. The couple share children, daughter Kulture Kiari, 5½, and son Wave Set, 2½ together.
