AceShowbiz - Being a superstar like Cardi B brings immense pressure, and the rapper has recently revealed that the fear of being "canceled" has a significant impact on her life and career.
During an appearance on Big Boy's Neighborhood, Cardi B admitted that she is afraid to speak out on polarizing topics because she doesn't want to face criticism and backlash. She explained that this fear extends beyond music, encompassing everything from politics to personal life.
"There's a lot of music critics that just be like, 'Cardi is scared to drop an album. She's scared to drop music.' No, I'm scared to do everything," she said. "I'm scared to talk about politics, I'm scared to talk about my life, I'm scared to talk about anything."
Cardi B attributed her fears to the feeling that fame has stripped her of her individuality. She expressed a desire to reclaim her true self and escape the constant scrutiny. "That's why I just disappear for a long time because I feel like fame stripped me from myself," she stated.
Despite her fears, Cardi B has not abandoned her musical career. She recently released her new single, "Enough (Miami)," and collaborated with SZA on a remix of Flo Milli's "Never Lose Me." These releases signal a return to her former self, which she acknowledged in a heartfelt apology to fans.
"I want to apologize to my fans... for losing myself," she said. "This has been a really hard journey to be back myself again."
Cardi B's admission of her fear of cancellation highlights the challenges and limitations faced by celebrities in the digital age. The pressure to conform and avoid criticism can have a detrimental effect on their ability to express themselves authentically.
