Discussing her relationship with feminism, Cardi revealed: "Being a feminist is real simple; it’s that a woman can do things the same as a man. I’m equal to a n****. Anything a man can do, I can do. I can finesse, I can hustle. We have the same freedom."
The 'MotorSport' star then added: ''I was top of the charts. I’m a woman and I did that. I do feel equal to a man.”
Yes Cardi! She's setting such a good example to her fans in showing us that feminism is personal to everyone.

Not only that but Cardi also spoke about her doubts about actually trying to become a rapper: "I didn’t even want to be a rapper because I didn’t have no management, no money and I didn’t want to waste my time. I wasn’t even thinking about dreams."
She then got super real: "It’s hard to think about fulfilling your dream when you got so much responsibility."
The 'La Modelo' hitmaker also added: "Your responsibilities come first. So I always had a realistic goal."
For so many people, these words ring true seeing as not everyone can afford to pursue their dreams.
Cardi has done though and we're so lucky to have her being so candid and dominating music today.
