Cardi B is not impressed with the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements that arose after Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual misconduct against a plethora of women.
The 25-year-old Bronx native is pleased to see the topic of sexual harassment being discussed, but she isn’t convinced the #Metoo message matters to hip-hop stars, whose slutty behavior is part of their sex appeal.
“A lot of video vixens have spoke about this and nobody gives a f**k,” Cardi told Cosmopolitan U.S. magazine. “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**ks out. I bet if one of these women stands up and talks about it, people are going to say, ‘So what? You’re a h*e. It don’t matter.’”
Cardi is also skeptical of some of the men who are publicly voicing their support for the campaigns.
“These producers and directors, they’re not woke, they’re scared,” she insisted.

I’m with you on this Cardi
cant argue with that
The music industry is so sleazy. It’s like the devil’s playground.
When she’s right shes right
Where is the lie? It’s sad but true?????
the heading is so misleading….
But I agree with Cardi
She keeps is so real!! Funny how they do sexual chit for roles and covers and then want to deal with their demons later and expose people. Nah you sucked that dack for the cover and juggled a couple balls for that role. Deal wit it hoe.
Hollywood period. It dont just stop at the music industry they say, movies, tv and even them over at the food network. Dont sleep the devil busy as hell.
So, Cardi B says she had guys pull their penises out her for magazine covers, but she won’t name names because she thinks no one would care and would just blame her. But she also says in the same breath that lot of male actors and producers are not “woke,” but really “scared” right now. Isn’t that partly the point?
I wondered what was the appeal and hype behind Cardi (Carli as my mom calls her). Now I get it. ??
CardiB’s none filter saves lives
She makes several valid points.
That headline … whooo. Click bate
This goes on in EVERY industry! Not just the entertainment industry. Even in The White House it goes on.
So she’s saying they pulled them out and then what happened? Is she saying she was a hoe and didn’t care?
One of the reasons I continue to like her. You said that there Cardi
yup… it was a click bait.
Where’s the lie?
LOL I just asked this. LOL
Ion know. I can never understand what this woman be trying to say. I’m always amazed at the commenters’ interpretation of her statements.
She’s right.
She spoke the pure and unadulterated truth! Good job, Cardi!
Hollywood is full of hypocrites.
Most women use sex to promote their careers – how can they complain then if they now feel ‘abused’?
They gained their careers by being sluts.
She’s right though
Reallllest words spoken. It wasn’t deception in the hiphop world you knew going in the room whats about to go down sooo..
How was it click bait? That’s exactly what she said.
How is the headline click bait? No disrespect, but did you read the post?
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
prolly the onliest time i’ll agree with ha
Please show me how this is misleading.
She said: “A lot of video vixens have spoke about this and nobody gives a f**k.”
Please.. Where is the misleading part?
She is 100% correct, but the power players won’t like this one bit. She will soon discover she is not indispensable.
I get it and I get her…
Headline is missing the context and you know it…
She is so correct, and the harassment will continue. SMH!
True. We definitely know the TV news world is like that. We saw Bill Oreilly and Roger Ailes get fired from Fox News for [allegedly] using their power to extract sexual favors from women.
I guess that sort of thing goes on throughout the entertainment & media industries. And other industries too. Sad.
LOL wisdom from Cardi B. She’s right though ??????
First and foremost ALSO no one gives a F–K about her, her baby that she’ll kill for fame or her dirty looking cheating man. As far as the metoomovement goes, it is only for the entertainment business because ordinary women have been complaining about this for years. Whereas the stars are only now complaining after they made their money. Stars made their choice to bang for fame. The only thing I give Cardi for is owning the fact that she sells herself for stardom.
Omg I can’t believe that I actually understand her and agree….
Thank you for explaining!
Me too movement a bunch of old arse liberal chicks upset that their looks have faded and now the director has moved on to other actresses. Me too movement is when spreading your legs didn’t get them as far as they thought…
I feel sorry for the real women who are sheroes who had values and did not get an opportunity because the director did not think they were easy. Or the women in the office who get passed for promotions because they have slept with their boss.
From the industry that brought us the Kardashians now want US to believe them with the me too movement!
I did and the Headline and the body of work, don’t match.
The headline reads Cardi B says “No one gives a f**ck about #MEtoo”
The write up includes the whole quote and an explanation on why she feels that way.
What we already knew..”I FAWK for status” . THAT HOLLYWEIRD THAT’S TRUTH THAT THE WAY IT IS. DON’T HOLLER AFTER YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANT! AND NOW NOBODY WANTS YOU ANY MORE;
Let’s see how fast her handlers say she was misquoted. This is a white movement and they will not be happy with her saying this.
Who can really take her seriously in whatever she says?! ?????
Whelp… she’s right… video vixens will be called hoes if they complain too loudly and lots of men in the industry are pretending to be woke but secretly hoping their dirt stays hidden… Cardi B’s pea sized brain may not be so small after all… She smarter than she lets on…
It said THE #MEtoo, you missed a word!
Boy oh boy.
I missed two words, Thanks for playing!!
Super head said this year’s ago as well as our common sense so ? but ok it’s still a topic
Ummmm…i think I kinda sorta feel her on this one.But the Alabasters will roast her for saying this; then she’ll apologize and all of a sudden that’s “not what she meant…”

Right? The only thing worse would have been for her to call Caitlyn Jenner a man. She better say what they want her to say (move those lips like a puppet), or that star will crash and burn as quickly as it rose.

I think she is still dumb… perhaps it is her age.
She is speaking a truth!
I think this will come back to bite her.

The real issue here is no one gives a f**k about Black, mixed & Latina women getting harassed in industries that they deem to be “beneath them”. Strippers, video vixens, Louisa the housekeeper, etc get harassed, sexually assaulted and asked to do strange things for some change daily but nobody cares. That’s what Cardi is trying to articulate.

And we shouldn’t give one last fukk about “THEM” not being happy.
well I totally see what she means……cause it is true….women have been associate with being hoes for everything under the sun….how they dress, talk and affiliate with….guilty by association?? maybe?? IONOO….I guess this will be the new reason to throw shade…..
Damn wasn’t she on love and hip hop…. well we know she sexualizes herself… that entire show is a rape charge waiting to happen a sexual lawsuit just asking to be brought forward. Hell Vh1 start picking prostitutes and strippers to headline their show about hip hop…. soooo that tells you what they think about sexual harassment they use it to sell their shows.
That’s exactly how i took it.
A crisis isn’t looked at as being a “crisis” in mainstream America unless & until it has a white face and white victims.
Same thing with the “opiod crisis”. It wasnt a national emergency when it was just killing “us” in the hood. But once it started killing Scott and Amy in the suburbs, then it became a huge crisis.
Agree … but that’s the choice they chose in that lifestyle..not saying that’s their fault that those people harrassed them because that’s sick as hell … but after you know what goes down after the fact why even continue on down that path to make it easy to be an object … and then other women follow for an easy dollar or a so called career …
Men and WOMEN call those women h0es. That’s the real reason why, them or their situation, is not taken seriously. Superhead been put the industry on blast and admitted to the part she played in it. So we been knew. We just weren’t trying to hear it from her because she was so unapologetic about it. Cardi has come in the industry, sort of the same way but different, so people are listening. But as you said, the housekeepers, strippers and video vixens, will still be told to sit this one out because their voice doesn’t matter.
Bloop
I guess she didnt want to get into that aspect of it, one way or the other. She just wanted to say women have always been expected to do sexual favors in the hip hop world and it was just a part of the industry. Nobody cared about sexual harassment when it was black and brown women being affected.
She’s making a very good point there.
I hear you, but they’re still the victims though. Let’s point the finger at the perpetrators, not the victims. It’s pretty sleazy that a woman should be expected to do sexual favors just to be part of a music video or whatever. Let’s not let the dudes off the hook.
True, but if you don’t want to be called a hoe don’t act like one!
Same thing with g?ns. When Jamal and Lil’ John John was kïlling blacks in the hood, it wasn’t a problem. Now Seth and Paul are sh00ting up schools and public places, where the majority are white, we have an epidemic on our hands.
Cardi B has a “team” of ratchets keeping her “ONE” way. This ain’t new news auntie. She working. We all work
I know, she says so little but they find so much in her statements. ?????
You are absolutely right !
When you’re b00ty is loose and will rock with the donkey next door will give you these results
If we’re talking the world of hip hop, I’ll bet far more young black men have been sexually propositioned than women. If some of those young men/boys who were pressured to sleep with Diddy start speaking up, you’ll have a #metoo monsoon on your hands.
Right!! I said the same exact thing. I don’t think she’s dumb, per se, but it could just be her delivery?
Her decisions regarding her relationship is something EVERY woman has been through so lest we not throw shade concerning that. However, I still don’t prefer her music though. lol
This headline totally missed the point of what she said….but whateva
….i already clicked. ??
She right.
Click bait title taken out of context. Cardi’s absolutely right!
100% right.
Her frankness is refreshing.
Young black men I believe are terribly abused and compromised in the industry in exchange for connections and fame and no one does anything about it.
shes right !!! side note: if Cardi is preg i dont want to see her at Coachella !!! cant make bloody moves with a gut full of Offset !!! ????? no maam
What Cardi is saying in her words is that #MeToo and #TimesUp are elitist movements that care about the rights of rich white celebrities, some token rich black female celebrities, and non-famous white actresses.
Nobody stands up against the harassment and abuses of the everyday black and latin girl.
SPEAK!!!!!
Now this is true also….
True… Young and dumb — It happens to a lot of folks LOL!!! Hopefully her statements come back to bite her because she really is telling the truth…
it’s not saying she dont care abou trape…she dont care that these white ppl are now voicing this. We’ve been expressing this and NO ONE DID NOTHING! I hear you cardi
Lol @ the names.
of course she doesn’t care !!!! She is a nasty stripper hoe with zero morals. Precisely the type that the industry likes to regal with money and fame so they can control and manipulate them easily.
She’s absolutely right. I concur 1mil percent.
The #MeToo movement definitely needs to be applied to hip hop and R&B. Black women’s sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence and disrespect as a woman has been a serious problem that’s been over looked for far too long! Our cries for justice have always been laughed at and deeply questioned by whites and unfortunately by our own people, especially black men. The longer we stay silent as a community, the more society (police and law makers) shout, “if they don’t care about their own women, then why should we”. Since Diddy declared in GQ magazine that he’s boldly standing for black culture/black excellence, how bout he starts by making hip hop and R&B spaces safe for black women. Even THOTS concerns should be voiced. Ask yourself what caused a THOT to be a THOT? Negligence and dismissiveness by so called love ones and the community sprouts lots of pain/negative behavior. There are more Russell Simmons lurking in hip hop and R&B that need to be exposed so that a positive healing and revolution can emerge in black music and the black community.
You didn’t read the article.
Karine Steffans spoke about the men in the industry back then…
Cardi B. is right.
And Nobody cared. Just like Cardi B said.
The title of this article is so misleading lol
Why do you think they only let one or two female rappers “shine” at a time? So many lyrical ladies graced my ears over the years. However they are consistently blocked cuz most will NOT suck *&#^a !!
SHE recently spoke about it in her live video she said she talked about all this before the me too movement and all ppl did was call her a hoe. SHe said nobody really supported her
I wonder why hardly any black actresses or singers spoke out I feel like they not saying anything because they feel if they do they won’t work again unlike the white ones that have spoke out.
Nope, wrong. People really just don’t want to hear most females like that anyways. Js…
Yea, like she’s some shining example of a victim…yea right. Ho e’s like her did more damage to the essence of womanhood than any of these alleged harrassers…
because she was and is a w hore.
Well I guess you feel women must be seen and not heard. I’ll let you speak. But I will no longer respond.
Entertaining misogyny is not a hobby of mine.
Be well..
Whoop whoop I’ll be there 4/20 weekend ?
Your outlook is the problem. Karrine has been exploited her whole life, including by her ex husband RAPPER Cool G Rap. That man abused and raped her, as had been done since she was a child. Shes a product of her environment and its sad
Well, most of these girls on Love & Flip Flop be fuckin for beats & gets nowhere…Cardi B just shut up & be glad u made it
And theyre all easy too. Its one thing to advocate for it if you said no and left but if you get down on your knees then you know whats up. Its not that mans fault you are weak and will sacrifice your values for your career. “But if I dont do it then the next woman will !” “So!”. You walked into the room, you can walk out. What are YOU worth? No one can decide that for you. No one made these girls do anything and I think everyone overlooks that. Should men use their positions of power as leverage for sex ? No, but if you getting down then you’re guilty too b/c you help fuel the culture. You sucked that dick and got that gig and made millions of dollars and stunt on the gram with all that you bought. I don’t see a hashtag about that. And I get tired of hearing people compain about their sob upbringings. EVERYONE had shit growing up. We can all share fucked up stories and share a collective “damn” from wealthy to poor. The thing is wtf do you do with it. Its one thing to say oh my daddy raped me and I became a prostitute and heres how I turned things around vs . . . and I became a prostitute and I’m still a prostitute and let me tell you about all the ways I’ve been wronged but haven’t really learned shit. People hate personal responsibility. . . . . . I’m done. . . Sorry.
Funny I’m reading her book now!
@Brianna…keep speaking truth to power!???
didn’t she show up to auditions naked though?
You just did exactly what she is talking about!
Sadly she is right abiut how society views some women in certain industries, hell the vixens have even said that this happens.
kool G Rap, get it kool not cool and Karrine really, a woman that called her self Super Head ..!!!
True, I feel you….
Well said indeed !!!
Really? Most talk sh1t to each other all the time try to knock one or the other off.
Love Cardi.
SMH idk
Here. The nail!! Cuz you hit that right in the head!! But when ppl say what you just said it’s victim shaming ?????
Oh but we all bought her books…. We did support in some way…
Now you got a point!!!
