Cardi B: 'Anything a Man Can Do, I Can Do'

"Bodak Yellow"singer who reached the top of the ladder with her hit single, now claims she is a feminist and that she can do anything that a man can.

In an interview, the rapper was quoted:"I can finesse. I can hustle."

She said, "Being a feminist is such a great thing and some people feel like someone like me can’t be as great as that. But then some people are smart but they don’t have no common sense. They think feminism is great and only a woman that can speak properly, that has a degree, who is a boss, a businessperson… they think only Michelle Obama can be a feminist."

She continued:"But being a feminist is really simple; it’s that a woman can do things the same as a man. I’m equal to an ----. Anything a man can do, I can do. I can finesse, I can hustle. We have the same freedom. I was top of the charts. I’m a woman and I did that. I do feel equal to a man.”

The rapper also revealed her struggle to become a singer from astripper. Cardi B said,“The first time I stripped I was really embarrassed. I felt like I could hear my parents in the back of my mind.When I gave my first lap dance all the girls were looking at me to see if I was doing something wrong 'cause I ain’t know how to do a lap dance. But I felt so disgusted. They can’t touch you in your private parts and they’re not supposed to touch you at all, but sometimes a man would caress me on my arm and I would hear them breathe so heavy in my ear. It just disgusted me.

She added:“After a while, I didn’t even care anymore," she continued. "I was seeing the money that I feel like I would’ve never seen ever. At first, I started off making $200 or $300, sometimes not making money at all because you’ve gotta pay your house fee and my house fees were very expensive. But after I got good at it there were nights where I would leave with $2,000 or $3,000. When I was 21 I had $20,000 saved up. When I was 22 I already had $35,000 saved — in singles."
