The globally acclaimed rapper and songwriter, Cardi B, recently took to Twitter to express her feelings about her current life as a millionaire, stating that having everything has become monotonous and she misses her simpler pre-fame days and old lifestyle in general.
Cardi B shared this sentiment in response to a fan who questioned why she still portrayed herself as someone from a poor neighborhood in her music videos. The fan, identified as @Kinggoodtoe, made the observation after watching the music video for the remix of "Put It On Da Floor Again," a song by Latto featuring Cardi B.
In the fan's tweet, they playfully asked when Cardi B would fully embrace her millionaire status and why she still depicted elements of the hood in her videos, stating, "Okay last thing when is cardi gonna transition to full millionaire like why are you posing with guns and things in the put it on the floor again remix video 😂😂 who escapes the hood just to relive it every chance they get 😂😂."
In response, Cardi B candidly admitted that despite her achievements and financial success, she still yearns for her previous lifestyle. She acknowledged that acquiring all the material possessions one desires eventually becomes monotonous and fails to bring lasting satisfaction.
Cardi B further revealed that she recently shed tears while reflecting on her past life. However, she also recognized that she wouldn't complain about her present circumstances because it's no longer just about her. She emphasized that her personal growth and the well-being of her children are essential factors to consider.
In her own words, she tweeted, "You wanna know wats so crazy? I was tearing the other day Cause I miss my old life …Sometimes having everything GETS BORING…But I won’t complain it’s not about me anymore. This is part of growing up and bout my kids ..but yea PUT IT ON THE FLOOR !!!"
