That’s not my style and that’s not what I’m with and I don’t support that, however I’ve been taking a lot of s–t today,” Cardi told the camera. She wore a black sweatshirt and had her hair down in a braid. “I’m seeing a lot of bulls–t today and I saw a lot of s–t last night and I’m sick of this s–t. I work hard for my mother f–king album.”

She discussed the difference in reactions from this year to last when she got nominated for “Bodak Yellow” but didn’t take home any awards for the song. She asserted to the camera, “Everybody was like, ‘Cardi got snubbed! Cardi got snubbed!’ Now this year’s a f–king problem? My album went two times platinum my n—a and every chart that there was my album was always top ten, number one album as well!”

Cardi got pregnant with her baby Kulture Kiari Cephus, who was born on July 10, while recording and  creating the album. “I f–king worked my a– off, locked myself in the studio for three months my n—a and then went to sleep in my own bed sometimes for four days straight—pregnant!” she said about it. “Some songs couldn’t even get on the f–king album because my nose was so f–king stuffy from my pregnancy.”

Cardi re-tweeted many of these messages. “I listen to my album and I cry because I know the hell I went thruu doing the album is always a bittersweet memory,” she typed alongside Chance’s screenshot. “THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED ME AND LISTEN .Im thankful and grateful and again thank you to all the artist that gave me a feature.”
