Cardi B is determined to confront her fears
The chart-topping rap star hasn't performed live since 2019 and although she's "nervous" about taking to the stage after being absent for so long, she won't shy away from the challenge
5 July 2022
During a Twitter exchange with a fan, Cardi was asked: "How do you build up your confidence if you're not feeling confident? #AskCardi (sic)"
In response, Cardi - who is due to perform at the Wireless Festival in the UK in July - stressed the importance of confronting her fears.
The 29-year-old star explained: "By facing it ...I haven't performed since
2019 I'm performing again next week .I'm nervous but once I face it I'll be okay and my spirit takes lead #AskCardi (sic)"
Cardi previously insisted she was actually happier before she started making money as a rapper.
The 'WAP' hitmaker - who has Kulture, three, and Wave, nine months, with rap star Offset - said: "One positive thing is that, my family, whatever they want, they get. Everything that I want to buy, I can get. I don't have to worry so much about my future.
"One negative thing is that, even though I'm happy, I feel like I was a little bit happier two or three years ago when I had less money. I had less people who had opinions about my life. I felt like my life was mine. Now I feel like I don't even own my life. I feel like the world owns me."
Despite this, Cardi doesn't have any plans to leave the spotlight.
She said: "I really want to accomplish more records, more Billboard hits.
"I might want to get into acting or designing clothes, but my real goal is to have beautiful kids, a beautiful mansion, and do business that makes me money until the day I die. Then be able pass it on to my children."
