Cardi B

A lot of people always question, ‘What else can she do, what else can she do?’ And I’m going to show you

If you want it, and the more you keep hearing you can’t have it, you just go and get it

I’m surprised Beyonce liked me. I met Beyonce!!

The faster I make a lot of money, the faster I can have these kids I want.

I think us bad b*tc*es is a gift from God.

I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can’t dream about it anymore. It’s easier to settle for less.

Today, be the basass girl you were too lazy to be yesterday.

It is by standing up for the rights of girls and women that we truly measure up as men.

I have tremendous respect for women.

I have a little sister and I’m constantly annoyed [by] how terribly written most females are in most everything – and especially in comedy. Their anatomy seems to be the only defining aspect of their character, and I just find that untruthful and it straight up offends me.

It’s work having a vagina. Guys don’t think that it’s work but it is. You think it shows up like that to the event? It doesn’t. Every night it’s like getting it ready for its first Quinceanera, believe me.

It’s misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman’s sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than one film.

Little girls think it’s necessary to put all their business on MySpace and Facebook, and I think it’s a shame… I’m all about mystery.

I was subscribing to this sick identity. … Stay in your place, be feminine, be a lady, don’t make too much noise.

The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.

We think – or maybe we’re shown – that the only way to express ourselves is through that very sexy energy. I think there’s more than that which shows our power. For me, I sometimes feel the most sexy when I’m totally covered head to toe.

The best thing you can do is to be a woman and stand before the world and speak your heart.

It’s about being alive and feisty and not sitting down and shutting up. Even if people would like you to.

I actually trust the women I know. I trust them with their choices, I trust them with their bodies and I trust them with their children. I trust that they are decent enough and wise enough and worthy enough to carry the right of abortion.

I think the golden rule for men should be: If you’re a man, don’t say anything to a woman on the street that you wouldn’t want a man saying to you in prison.

We won’t unlock opportunities for young women and girls unless we can change the mindset of every family and community. To achieve this, it cannot just be women who speak up for girls.
