Cardi B has never been one to hold her tongue, and her latest interview is no exception.

Covering the newest issue of The New York Times’ T Magazine, the Rap superstar opens up about her next musical moves, life after her split from Stefon Diggs, motherhood, and navigating fame on her own terms.

And with a potential Spanish-language project in her sights, the Bronx-bred hitmaker is making clear that there’s still much more music, and plenty more Cardi, to come.

Full story below…

Fresh from her blockbuster ‘Little Miss Drama Tour’ and the success of sophomore album ‘Am I The Drama?’, the 34-year-old says she’s enjoying life after a decade of grinding.

Speaking with the publication, Cardi detailed her creative ambitions, the pressure of maintaining her larger-than-life persona, and the ways becoming a mother of four has changed her outlook.

Peep the highlights below…

On New Music & a Spanish-Language Album

“But they were like, ‘Where’s the music?'”

“You know them kids they have.”

As previously reported, Cardi is targeting 2027 for her third studio album. She told T Magazine she plans to return to the studio in November and wants to record a Spanish-language project.

On Performing & Getting Emotional

“I’m nervous.”

“Oh, we gettin’ sad with it.”

“They got me thinking about my marriage.”

“I believed you.”

“Act like I’m singing it for the first time.”

On Motherhood & Clapping Back at Critics

“I’m gonna keep it classy, but I could really go so crazy on you, bitch, I would have you … reconsidering your life, your career … trying to do black magic on me because you’re gonna hate me so … much just from a couple words that I … tell you.”

“But I have changed a lot.”

On Being Herself, Unapologetically

“This is not a gimmick.”

“I’m very ratchet. I’m very hood, I can be very loud. But I grew up with manners too.”

On Her Many Lives

“I’ve been poor, I’ve been rich, I’ve been a nine-to-five girl, … a college girl, I took the train, I drive the Lambos, I’ve been a wife, I’ve been the side [piece].”

On Social Media & Staying Connected to Fans

“My consumers, my customers. I’ve gotta see every single day what my consumers are liking.”

With new music, international touring ambitions, and an ever-expanding business empire, Cardi’s next chapter looks to be anything but quiet.
