Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B expressed frustration during an Instagram Live broadcast, revealing that envy from people in her inner circle is making her feel colder and meaner.
She explained that achieving higher levels of success has created unexpected tension with individuals she thought were genuinely close to her.
Cardi noted that navigating prosperity feels frightening because it becomes difficult to determine who harbours hidden animosity.
She added that the hostility makes her hesitant to share her achievements or business deals out of fear of inciting resentment.
Cardi clarified that the friction stems entirely from personal acquaintances rather than public criticism or internet feuds.
Despite recently addressing online backlash over a magazine interview, she stated during an X Spaces session that she no longer cares to engage in public disputes and feels she is outgrowing petty conflicts.
The hip-hop star remains focused on her career, having recently released her sophomore album, “Am I the Drama?” alongside standalone singles like “AH HA” and “Don’t Chart.” — Wires
