Cardi B x Reebok Announce Official Release Date of First-Ever Sneaker Collection

What’s been the biggest change since you put out High Maintenance? Life is changing rapidly. I’m working more, making more money. I’m just constantly working. I haven’t had a break. It’s a blessing. You said that like it was a good and bad thing. I mean, sometimes I don’t get sleep. It’s all a part of building. You can’t stop. We’re working on songs, concepts. Like, I have a song coming out with Rich the Kid and G Eazy. We’re shooting the music video for it saturday. How did that song come about? It’s produced by London on Da Track. I did something with him. He showed it to them, they liked it. That’s how it came about. Do you still get hit with a lot of that “she’s only an IG rapper” stuff still? Not so much. I mean, I did for a while. But once the EP came out I received a ton of great press. I transitioned out of that label. Did that used to bother you? It did but it didn't. Because if it wasn’t for IG i wouldn’t be here. Like, I don’t know how else I would have gotten my music out. What was the first IG video you ever uploaded? My first car rap? I did the So Far Gone challenge. That was my first one minute video of me rapping on my IG. Was it good? It was Hella good. (Laughs.) Zaytoven is really your cousin? We grew up together. What’s a memory that comes to your mind of Zaytoven being young? Him always playing the piano. He played at my grandma’s church. And his mom and my grandma are like best friends. Were you freestyling over his piano or you weren’t even thinking like that yet? I didn't have the patience. (Laughs.) But as far as I can remember he was always playing the piano. How much of a role does he play now in your career? We’re working together. I’m pretty sure he’s going to be on my album. I just came from Atlanta, hopped on some of his beats. So we’ll see where that goes. Is he like a coach? I kind of do my own thing. Also you’re working with No ID? I was working with No ID at the end of last year. Where’s that at? His schedule got fairly busy. And I was working on my EP. So hopefully we could come back. He’s so wise so I love working around him because he taught me a lot. What’s something that he taught you? Patience. Like real patience. Like, don’t rush it. I like to keep what we talked about it private. But just patience. Did you feel like you were an impatient person? Yeah. Because I’ve been wanting to do this since I was 14. I was so hungry and ready to pop off of th rip. With good things it takes time. What was it at 14 that made you want to be a rapper? I was writing poetry at first. And then I Started to like writing over beats. And young Money was out and to see them hop on so many hot instrumentals i was like “OK i’m going to do that too.” And then I tried to do the YouTube thing for a while, but it didn't work out. Wait, what happened on YouTube? My subscribers weren’t there. (Laughs) So I just took it to IG. It’s easier, just post and record. You don’t have to upload it to the computer, wait for it to go up. It’s just instant. Where do you think you fit in with other female rappers? I Think my role is to just be me. To grind. I think it’s amazing that a lot of women are out right now. Because there was a time when there was only just one or two. Because of the Internet we have been given the opportunity to go to our own fan bases. It feels like we’re ditching the whole “there can only be one female rapper thing.” I mean there are so many women out right now. And they are thriving. I’ve heard you talk a lot about how much Nicki Minaj inspired you/ I remember hearing her mixtape Playtime is Over. Were you like calling yourself a Barb? Well I was already calling myself that. My AIM name was “Rich Barbie.” So when she came out I was like “oh my God! She’s so dope!” You haven’t been able to link with her? No not yet. But I’m looking forward to it. What do you think the next year is going to be like? I’m working on my album. We’re aiming to put it out in the fourth quarter. We’re strategizing behind that. What can you tell me about the album that you haven't told anyone else? Look at you trying to get the secrets. (Laughs). I don’t like telling too much, because what is there to look forward to if you know everything right? Tell me something interesting about the album. There will be features. It’s interesting because i didn't have any features on my EP. So you'll finally hear me collaborate with other dope artists. These are people within your sound, or are you going to go left a little? Whatever sounds good, big or small. I’m all about making good music, so if we sound good together than it will work for me. Would you consider yourself a sneakerhead? I wouldn't consider myself a sneakerhead only because I know real sneakerheads. But i do love tennis shoes. I love shit that looks good on my feet. I like collecting shoes but i wouldn’t consider myself a sneakerhead. Tell me about the shoes you're wearing? These are icons, they come in black, pink white. There might be other colors. I love them. I have wide feet so they make my feet look slim. I really love the concept behind the campaign. It’s very non traditional. They are just showcasing where we come from. I thought it was a really dope camo gain to be a part of. Is that what interested you, that they were going to go deep in your background? Yeah. It’s not just “take this pic and post it.” It's like we want to get to know you, build with you. I feel like that’s really important when it comes to doing a partnership with somebody. Are you a person who wears sneakers to depth or one a day kind of girl? I like to wear sneakers down. If I like it, i just have phases where i wear a sneaker over and over again.
