Cardi B sometimes gets tired of being a millionaire, of having money and fame and having virtually anything she wants. Instead, the former Bronx rapper reminisces about her days living the hood, where she can tote guns, and live an adventurous life, Media Take Out has learned.
Cardi let one of her fans into her inner thoughts yesterday, when the fan criticized Cardi for going to the hood to film her latest music video Put It On The Floor.
In criticizing the imagery in Cardi’s new video, the fan asked Cardi, “who escapes the hood just to relive it every chance they get?”
Cardi B responded, saying “I was tearing up the other day because I miss my old life.” Cardi’s old life involved, dancing and robbing men. She was also involved in gangs and violence.
Cardi added that “sometimes having everything gets boring.”
