-says when she used to follow cardi 5 years ago she talked a lot more about being black, talked about anti black racism, talked about her nappy hair and talked about colorism- feels like since her career she's been more ambiguous about whether she considers herself black- says that's not cool and cardi is a lot smarter than people give her credit for
- feels her racial ambiguity is being played up- such as speaking spanish in a way to white wash hip hop
- feels her rise as a rapper wasn't organic and there is a huge mainstream push - superbowl ad, oprah, and she is being push to mainstream white audiences because she is racially ambiguous - says actual black artists didn't rise up as fast as she did
-feels peopleare deliberately overlooking that because they like cardi and her music
