“It's not that people want to be like me, but some want to say the things I say and can't because they're afraid. I say it for them.”

“I'm a woman. Every woman, I think, wants to get married and wants to have children.”

“I have 100 percent Bronx pride, like it's a country, like I am the Bronx.”

“People should listen to my music because it's good.”

“If a girl have beef with me, she gon' have beef with me forever.”

“Music never felt like a job.”

“Summertime, this is the time that you flex.”

“My sister's name is Hennessy, so everybody used to be, like, 'Bacardi' to me. Then I shortened it to Cardi B. The 'B' stands for whatever, depending on the day... beautiful or bully.”

“I just feel like I influence people because I'm like - I was practically homeless.”

“When I was 19, 20, 21, I wasn't extremely thick.”

“It's never too early to get married now.”

“Say yes to everything. 'You want me to buy you some food?' Yes. 'You want me to buy you a car?' Yes.”

“I do feel kind of guilty sometimes 'cause, like, I could buy myself a $5,000 dress or a $3,000 dress, and I'm buying these things, but I'm knowing that my cousin need money for the rent. And then I gotta tell myself, 'Stop feeling guilty. You worked for this.'”

“My Instagram got deleted a lot of times. I used to do rough jokes and curse a lot.”

“A lot of females, they want to do the things that I do. Some females are so closed, but they want to be open. Some girls, they want to feel that power that I tell them that I have. I tell women that I have power over these men, that I use these men.”

“The first splurge that I did, I bought, like, an $80,000 watch, but that's because I'm a rapper. I need jewelry.”
