Cardi B recently shared her struggles with feeling afraid of negative feedback and losing confidence in a candid interview on the Complex series 360 with Speedy. The Grammy-winning rapper admitted to feeling apprehensive about releasing new music and being in the public eye throughout 2023, leading her to spend less time in public.
Despite not releasing a full-length album since 2017, Cardi B has continued to stay active in the music scene with hit singles like 'Money,' 'WAP,' 'Up,' and 'Press.' However, in 2023, she only released one official single as the lead artist, 'Bongos' with Megan Thee Stallion, citing fear as a significant factor in her decreased public presence.
Cardi revealed that she was hesitant to engage with her fans through live streams, social media posts, or public appearances due to concerns about negative reactions. This fear also extended to discussing political and social issues, an area she had previously been vocal about.
Despite her struggles, Cardi B seems to be regaining her confidence in 2024. She has released two solo singles, 'Like What (Freestyle)' and 'Enough (Miami),' and made a notable appearance on stage with Madonna at the Queen of Pop's Celebration Tour in L.A.
In her interview, Cardi expressed a desire to be more active for her fans and focus less on external opinions. She emphasized the importance of connecting with her supporters who have been instrumental in her success and vowed to prioritize their support over fear of criticism.
