Cardi B won’t let critics keep her down. Being a megastar like Cardi B comes with its perks, but it also brings relentless scrutiny. This often interferes with her ability to express herself freely through her music. Because of this, she decided to take a short break from social media, which brought her a lot of relief.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cardi B opened up about her social media break. She revealed that her children ultimately motivated her to return. ‘Being at home,’ she explained. ‘When I was off social media and nobody knew what I was doing, I was at peace a lot.’ Cardi described how she doesn’t want to set the wrong example for her little ones. ‘What am I going to do? Never post or never work again because that’s peace? No,’ she said. ‘I don’t ever want my daughter or my son to ever give up on something because they can’t take the pressure of what people say about them. I got to set that example.’
Cardi B emphasized that criticism wouldn’t break her spirit. ‘It’s like, ‘Y’all never going to break me.’ Because I got something to prove to myself. I also got to prove something to the haters. I’ve got to prove it to my own kids.’
Cardi B’s return to social media, driven by a desire to set a strong example for her children, shows her resilience against criticism and her determination to continue expressing herself through her music.
