Cardi B’s never been one to hold back her thoughts and opinions on current events, even if her opinion goes against the grain. Filter-free and unapologetic, Cardi is calling out the #MeToo movement for their lack of support for women in the hip-hop and urban industry.
Cardi has made it no secret that she is proud of her incredibly humble beginnings and is beyond grateful and appreciative of her come up. Cardi, who started out as an exotic dancer, has been candid about her career path and how she used dancing as a way to stack her money, and “make money moves.”
Since leaving her dancing days behind and taking the crown as the new princess of rap, Cardi’s been incredibly vocal about the injustices and judgments she’s faced as a dancer turned rapper and the hypocrisy and criticism she encounters on a “regular, degular, shmegular” basis.
Well now, the April 2018 Cosmopolitan cover star is opening up about the #MeToo movement for their lack of support of women in the hip-hop industry.
The 25-year old questioned the #MeToo movement’s ability to force a change in the hip-hop world, expressing her frustration with the movement’s lack of compassion when female rappers and video vixens speak out about harassment: “nobody gives a f**k.”
With the #MeToo movement forcing Hollywood’s film and television industry to deal with the incessant issues of sexual harassment and assault, The “Bodak Yellow” rapper pointed out why and how female rappers, dancers, and models are being left out by the movement.
“A lot of video vixens have spoke about this, and nobody gives a f**k,” the rapper said. “When I was trying to be a vixen, people were like, ‘You want to be on the cover of this magazine?’ Then they pull their d***s out. I bet if one of these women stands up and talks about it, people are going to say, ‘So what? You’re a ho. It don’t matter.'”

The Bronx native called out the men who support the #MeToo movement as well, telling the magazine, “These producers and directors, they’re not woke, they’re scared.”
Cardi also made it a point to let everyone know that women who strip deserve the same respect as anyone else .”Because y’all don’t respect me because of it, and y’all going to respect these strippers from now on,” she said. “Just because somebody was a stripper don’t mean they don’t have no brain,” she concluded.
Do you think women in the hip-hop industry are being ignored by the #MeToo movement?
