And it's almost impossible to come up out of the Bronx the way you have.

[Jada]

You know what I think with the difference at times, like, when you came up, you know what I mean? You're a little bit older than this. When you came up, it was like a. First of all, we didn't have no technology and none of that. And, like, hardships was some shit you didn't want to show. She was able to use coming out of the trenches to her advantage and bloom to a fucking megastar with her braveness of showing, going off for them, shopping, and that made the chicks, that made people gravitate to.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

And what was it like growing up in the Bronx? Like, what was your experience?

[Cardi B]

I was just here a couple of months ago.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You know, the babies mess up the clothes faster than anybody.

[Cardi B]

Oh, shit. I'm doing it again.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You're doing it again. Now, what I did notice, right, is since Cardi B, as long as I've known you in your career, not personally, I feel like you always been in a relationship. Like, you don't like to be single, right?

[Cardi B]

I don't like to Be single. And I always been. I love a girl like, that's just what I am. I'm like the type of person that is like, if I fuck ya, I might fall in love with y'.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

All.

[Cardi B]

And you gotta be mine. Ain't no way around it. So I just always been a relationship girl. I always liked family. I always wanted the house, the fences, the everything. Like, that's always been my. One of my goals, so. But now I'm doing things.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

So you super in love right now.

[Cardi B]

Hell, you think I'll be.

[Jada]

You think I'd be having baby number four?

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You gotta be here in love. Because you know why a lot of people ain't super in love, right?

[Cardi B]

I won't be like this if I ain't.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You know, it's almost weird to me when I'm driving to something and I see a couple staring at each other, really in love, kissing like. I don't see that no more. Like that love. Like that happiness. That love. You know, most people get jealous of that shit when they see that.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

And you.

[Jada]

You know why you don't see that a lot is a lack of privacy. We come from a time when love was love. Now, when somebody's across your. Somebody's at the next dinner table like this, watching you and just shooting it everywhere.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

So shout out Stephon Diggs, right? That's daddy. That's baby daddy. You know what I'm saying? I'm not getting better this.

[Jada]

I didn't say one.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

The woman came out with the. She's pregnant, man. We wait. Yo, I was what? We was two interviews behind Breaking the News. Gayle King got you, huh? God damn, man. You done came on and said goes to what? I was My mail, on my mail, on my mail, on my mail.

[Jada]

It had been Artie, outta here. We still outta here. Cause this is technically one of the first. Speaking about Athen making the announcement.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You know, this gets me more angry. To be confirmed that you think you're having a baby is the bullshit lawsuit they put you through in court. Like, I don't know if you know.

[Jada]

And do they?

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Like, I was mad as fuck.

[Jada]

You was a kitty in that court.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

I'm watching that shit, mad as fuck. I'm like, yo, how will you tell us? Did she was. Tell us for real what she did to you.

[Jada]

It's over, right? There's no stats. You can't get in.

[Cardi B]

It's over. No, for real. It was just a verbal argument. It wasn't nothing but a verbal argument.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

She put the camera in your Ceiling.

[Jada]

That she like an ATM. Bank of America.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yo, how the fuck in 2025 you sue somebody for a verbal? For harassing the person.

[Cardi B]

Yes.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

And you taking the stand.

[Cardi B]

She.

[Jada]

How did it even. Was it even able to make it all the way to court like that?

[Cardi B]

They have to be. They need to start doing something about this because this is getting like ridiculous. Like frivolous celebrities for anything now. And not only that, but it's like, okay, like, my shit was small, but it's like there's certain people that get sued. Your shit was not small, and their career is ruined.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yeah, you worked. Go back to that, to what you were saying. But you worked. Imagine you lost 25 million for some shit you ain't doing. Imagine that you just mad, right? And you lose $25 million. So you gotta hire the right lawyers. When they. Somebody sue me, I'm getting number one.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You know how much money that shit costing? I gotta get number one. You gotta Google my lawyer and be like, this, number one. But that's costing me.

[Cardi B]

It's costing money. Like it Costing money. And not only that, but it's like somebody could sue you and say the most absurd lied about you, and it will snatch deals off your table before you even go to court. And even. And even if you settle or even if the lawsuit is thrown away, they'd be like, yeah, still. I still don't want to give you that. Fuck with you because of that accusation. People could accuse you and you could lose everything of that one bullshit that they say about you. And it could be the most ridiculous things that never happened that there's not even evidence on. And it would just. It would just turn to.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

So if you ain't know I was punching the air watching that shit. Even if you was doing good and everything, I was just so mad. I was just like, yo, how this guy got this girl who worked so hard to come out of nothing and she got to sit in the stand. I know you paid them lawyers a whole bunch of money.

[Cardi B]

A whole bunch of money.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yo, that's a whole bunch.

[Cardi B]

Hundreds of thousands.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yes.

[Cardi B]

For.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

For. That's what they do. That's what they do. I remember I got in trouble with the taxes, and I love the lawyer. That's my brother. But the man said, yo, it's 600,000. And I said, and that's the 600,000. He said, oh, and you got to go to jail. No, give it to me now. Because they going to take your shit anyway. You might as well give it to me. That's the realest shit. I walked out of there. I felt like a dolphin with a hole in my head. I'm walking out that bitch like, jizzy, I'm telling my man, you heard this. And this is our guy. He's like, yo, give it to me. Because the boy about to take that shit. And I had to write that shit down right there. I'm glad you came up out of that and keep voicing your opinion about frivolous lawsuits, because America is so unfair. And, you know, I might have paid 20 lawsuits in my life for beating people up. And so every. I'm. Every time. Your mother's a lesbian. Fuck you, you pussy, you. This. Punch him in the face. Next thing you know, you in 161. They like, yo, you could drop the case. 50,000. This after the 20th time, I finally realized, yo, bro, I gotta stop punching dudes in the face. They know I got bread.

[Jada]

It's costing.

[Cardi B]

But I didn't even touch.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

I know you didn't. That's what I'm saying.

[Jada]

That's crazy.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

That's what I'm saying. But you came right outside and threw the pen at the nigga like.

[Cardi B]

Cause, like, don't. Don't try to. Don't try to. Like, it's not even meant to join my business. Don't try to pull me out. Like, it's not even about a being in my business. It's like you trying to, like, call me a hoe or something. I'm like, be for real. Like, you. I know who this person. I know who the nutter than me. Don't even try me like that. And you got your information wrong. Like, you know what the you was doing. And he just didn't. He just did it to my lawyer. My lawyer. My lawyers represent little Nas X. Like, so you do that on purpose. But this is why you get lawsuits. Because it's like, you see a nigga like that get beat the up.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yeah. That's a fact.

[Jada]

This is a family show.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yeah, but, yo, you always with the family. The family.

[Cardi B]

The frost in the building is my cousin.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yo, that's it.

[Cardi B]

That's a movie. That's a movie.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

The crazy shit is, yo, you work so hard for your shit, and they trying to take your shit.

[Jada]

Ain't just off block, man. Let's talk about the new album. What finally made you want to let some music out. I follow you, so I watch the people always saying, when you gonna let out? What? Really? What made you say fog it? Let me just. Let me shoot. Let me let it Go.

[Cardi B]

Cause I feel like I touch everything. I feel like I got every type of record. I have rap records. I got pop radio records. I got records that's talking about my personal life. I got sexy records. I got all type of records. And it's like I finally feel like there's nothing missing. There's nothing missing. I know it took a long time, but I feel like right now in my life, it is the right time. I feel like I'm going through a whole reset in life.

[Jada]

The clips have one of the best rollouts we've seen in years. And I think you running neck and neck, but you doing it the other old school, traditional.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

1:20.

[Jada]

Going on the train. You going.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Are you out and up.

[Jada]

Daggers on top of that.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

That's some floss.

[Jada]

What made you take it back to the grassroots of promoting a new album?

[Cardi B]

That's how I used to promote myself.

[Jada]

Okay.

[Cardi B]

Like, when I used to go to a club, hosting and shit, I would do a video of, like, in my apartment smoking or anywhere, like, yo, come see me here. And it's like, shit, come. Come here. I don't know. It's just like, what's entertaining to me, what I like to see, what I like to see down my timeline. So I just put it there. I got my. The way that my label want me to do it, and then I got my own way to do it. I'm not that savvy in the whole TikTok world promotion and the dancing shit. I'm not that.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You're doing pretty good.

[Cardi B]

I'm an old bitch, so I'm gonna just do it my own way.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

I almost thought you was mocking the record label. I thought you was like, oh, y' all ain't got the budget. Watch me to go on the fucking train. Watch me go on 1 25th. Y' all trying to act like, watch how I promote. That's how I took it.

[Cardi B]

No, no, no, no.

[Jada]

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

She.

[Jada]

She going for the trenches.

[Cardi B]

Yeah. I just like to do things my way. But they've been very supportive. They've been very supportive and. But you know what? It's not really mocking the haters too. But it's like people was just kept saying, like. It's like, oh, like, the label, I don't think they're gonna support her. It's been seven years, and they're like, be fucking for real. They make a lot of money off me, child. They gonna support me. They gonna give me somebody.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

He gets mad at Me, because I go to war with the comments. Like, I see dudes disagreeing.

[Cardi B]

I can't help it.

[Jada]

You know, the other day, some brothers.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Sometimes talking shit about you, right? I seen you comment on that shit, Jada. But, you know, I went up on that shit. I said, yo, let me tell you something, man. I said, first of all, man, your shit, fake number two is. I've been dying to ask you, meaning that you got my attention. Where you get that goofy ha?

[Cardi B]

Like, hit me up. I could argue all day.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

No, I could argue all day. You know, in the Bronx. I'm trying to tell you this. The difference is everywhere but project life. People don't understand. They be like, yo, Joe, you be mad funny on the show. You be talking bad shit. I said, bro, every day this summer, I had to stay up to six in the morning snapping on people.

[Cardi B]

Yes.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Every day, talking shit, popping shit. This, this, this. This whole life, this is like nothing. So when you disrespect me on a comment, just know I'm coming right back. I'm chopping your shit off.

[Cardi B]

But that's what I. That's what I'm saying, though. Like, people wouldn't really understand that. Like, it's like, yo, I will look at myself in the mirror and practice my jokes because the next day, I'm gonna flame niggas. You talking about I don't got no ass? I got you the next way. Look at your motherfucking hair that, you bum ass.

[Jada]

Yo, get him gaudy.

[Cardi B]

I could come up with jokes and shit so fucking fast. It's not even. I look at you up and down, and I could roast you. But I had to, because it's like niggas was roasting me.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

What do you wanna accomplish by the second album? Like, what you trying to prove now? What do you need to prove? You serious?

[Jada]

This is the schedule. Crack.

[Cardi B]

This is the schedule. The schedule is all right. Next week. That's when I finished the whole Album Run. Album Run was doing magazine covers, doing interviews, doing music videos, doing all of that. That's done. Now I'm going to the gym. I'm taking dance classes so my body could be nice and loose when I give birth. Now it's straight rehearsal. Straight rehearsal with the dancers. Then in February, I'm ready to fucking bust a move in my. And my thing, ain't no stopping. Like, my label was like, hey, so we don't want to interfere your business. Do you think you want to move the album and move the tour? Live Nation was like, you want to move the tour? Move that one. No, I'm going on tour in February. I'm dropping the album on stage.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Like, I want that motherfucking.

[Cardi B]

We gonna do this shit. You gonna see it. And they seen it and they feel like, yeah, fuck yeah. Yeah, we're part of this. Fuck yeah. I'm motivated, and they motivated. So I can't even let them down if they're excited. I. I gotta wake my ass up. And ain't no excuse, bitch. Wobble your ass up.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You know, I seen you the other day, and I really can relate. You give us your version of it, right?

[Jada]

O said you could relate to other twerking.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

I can relate. I'm not twerking. Your kiss. What the wrong with you, man?

[Jada]

Before you said, can you relate? I had to make sure it was no flag word.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Ooh. Seeing you back in the hood, you're in front of the store, Bodega, cardi. And everybody came out there and went crazy. And I ain't talking about the twerking. I'm just saying the community. Yeah, right. So I understood when you was like, yo, I used to walk up and down this block. They didn't know who I was. Now I come back, what was that like?

[Cardi B]

I mean, I always get in trouble around there. Like, those are. I lived in 157 in Broadway for a minute, and then like, I have family in Amsterdam. So it's like, all right, cool. Like, this could have been somewhere like Manhattan or like Harlem or Soho, but it does. It. It feels different when it's like, damn, these are the blocks that used to be like, all right, all right.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

We all sign up a night like Washington ain't nothing. Like Washington night ain't nothing.

[Cardi B]

You had a store there?

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

I do 158 from Broadway.

[Cardi B]

Yeah. You had a. You have. You. Okay. You still had your store.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

And I got Dyckman 207.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

So, you know, that's that. You know, my uncle used to own all the number spots out there many, many years ago. So I started out there. The reason why I opened my store there was my father, rest in peace. He got fired from his job. It was like Christmas time. And we went down to 23rd Street. He bought a bunch of toys, like $2,000 worth of toys. Little cop, motorcycles, baseball bats. And for some reason, we went right to 158in Broadway, and we started selling that shit for double. That's where I learned how to hustle.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

So when I figured out I wanted a store, I said, let me not go to where. Let me go to the spot where I learned how to be an entrepreneur. So. And my father, my godfather's also a Dominicano, Jose de Nosa. So I was up and down Washington Ice too much. What I hate is the beet salad.

[Cardi B]

I hate. I don't like putting. Yo, they used to fucking like.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

I damn near got beat up to eat that shit.

[Cardi B]

I don't like that shit. But I love Washington Heights. And it's like a hood that people don't really. They will talk about. Dyke may know Harlem. They don't really talk about Wash Heights, but it's lit to me.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

It's the city that doesn't sleep.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

They say New York is the city. You get a fucking haircut at 4.

[Cardi B]

Yeah, the Heights don't sleep.

[Jada]

You can get an outfit on New Year's after the ball dropped in Washington night.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You get yourself a poppy poodle fit, right? A motherfuckers, how you with some shit right quick? It'd be shiny like a motherfucker.

[Cardi B]

My dad loved them. Fits to this day, honey.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

He still rocked them.

[Cardi B]

He still rocked that money, you know.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

I said, you know, we gonna do a. A series about my life, you know what I'm saying, growing up. And I said, yo, we cannot have this series without the. Whenever I go see papi, that shit gotta be in the background. I mean, I've been to so many.

[Cardi B]

Y' all think you want to be Dominican?

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

No, I love my godfather's Dominican. I love Dominicans. Anthony Santos. I go back with El Cuco. Tonio Rosario Omega was my man. Yeah, he's still my man.

[Cardi B]

I love him.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

He'd be like, yo, Golden Door. He always hits me up. But this dude, he would come to my studio every night in Miami. Lamborghini. He was the first. He was the first biggest. I don't want to say definitely Dominican. Almost the biggest reggaeton. I don't know how to explain it to you. He was the first. Selling out Madison Square Garden, all that shit. So he was living in Miami. He would pull up everyday studio for no reason. Lamborghini, Ferrari. Then he showed me a video, and it was a Michael Jackson. I told you that shit. Michael Jackson was flying in the air over a stadium. They got a video. Michael Jackson had a backpack. Throw it up. Throw the flags. See if I'm fucking around. See if I'm fucking around. Just think I'll be capping y'. All. Don't listen to him. Listen. He showed me that. He said, yo, good though. I'm about to fly into the stadium. That's my word.

[Jada]

He was looking at it, so he could.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

He was looking at Michael Jackson. He said he gonna go to Santo Domingo, fly into the fucking stadium. I was like, yo, this. He's bugged out. But then, you know, they deported him back to Santo Domingo. You ever see that video with him in jail? Like, they put him in jail. That nigga, him walking through the jail. Omega. Oh, my God. It was like the Warriors. This dude was in there. He's the biggest rapper. He's just the biggest Dominican rapper of all time. Walking through the jail. Jewels on. And it is. They got flash. This guy's in jail, buying sneakers.

[Jada]

Too much in jail over there.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

They had one girl over there, allegedly. You heard that story, right? There was one girl that was still supposed to Be locked up. But she's in the beach every weekend and they got pictures of her in the fucking beach when she's locked up. So think you in Rikers island, they let you out Friday, Saturday, Sunday, she in the beach. The fly shit. Going back. You ever heard of that story?

[Cardi B]

I. I never heard. I don't know, because I know people that got locked up in Dr. And they're very like, get me the fuck out of here. And it's like, I try to help somebody get out of jail.

[Jada]

Well, you actually go there and say, let them out. And they gonna let them out.

[Cardi B]

If you go there, they might make it hard. The person was like, don't even say.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You just try to make some moves.

[Cardi B]

Just make some moves. And it was kind of damn, you.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Know, jail ain't cool. You know, jail ain't cool, no way. But I. I've seen the Dominican jail. They got flat screens.

[Jada]

They took my. They buy sneakers, food in an iPad. To the jail.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yeah, yeah, what's that?

[Jada]

You can't go to Rikers right now. See, you can bring somebody a plate in the iPad.

Like, really beat up by girls. All the knocking, like, punching me in my face and up. Not the girls. I'm not hitting the girls, God.

[Jada]

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Yeah, I had girls punch me out and was running around the projects talking about, yo, Joe, I punched him in his face. This you want me to do. All I could do is run away, you know? So, K, I don't want no smoke with you.

[Cardi B]

Did you deserve it?

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Of course.

[Cardi B]

I was terrible because you look like you used to roast.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Gross. I did everything bad you could do in the history of mankind. Like, we. You know, we used to play spades, right? You played spades. We used to play spades. And if you lost, you almost took orders. Like, they. They. They want Chef Boyardee and ice cream. You gotta go to the bodega and steal that shit. Like the. The L was. Whoever lost gotta go get the lunch. Chef Boyardee fucking ice cream. So. And niggas is real specific with what they want. Potato chip, salt and vinegar. This. You gotta go in there and you gotta steal that shit. Now, you know, Poppy catch you stealing in the store, you coming out there with some fucking speed dots up that bitch. But, yeah, we did every type of ghetto shit you could ever think of in the history. I'm through with ghetto shit. Like, I'm, Like, I'm done. I did everything. You know, I had the girlfriends argue in front of the building for 10 hours. Every type of ghetto shit you could think of in the history of mankind.

[Jada]

Ghetto shit.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

That ain't ghetto. That's Cool. It's cool. But every kind of stereotype, that was me, you know what I mean? I worked hard on myself, you know what I'm saying? To be respectful and do things right and. And try to be a good example for our community and like that. But every type of ghetto you ever thought of, I did it.

[Jada]

How important is it? I see you always. You try to help up and coming artists.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You.

[Jada]

You do a lot of stuff for people wanting to come. How important is that? To give back? Not too much because, you know, they take advantage from where we from. But how important is it to try to help those that need help?

[Cardi B]

I mean, I don't. I don't really see it like that, but sometimes, like, when I feel like people are getting, like, picked on and shit like that, or like you getting that hate train, I like to throw you a little advice from here on here and then. But that's just how I am. I don't know. Maybe I'm motherly, maybe. Maybe that's why God blessed me so much. Because sometimes I have a good heart, but sometimes as I have a good heart. But if, like, if I don't like.

[Jada]

You heart could get ugly.

[Cardi B]

I want you to die, die, die.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

You want to beat the brace off him? Like.

[Cardi B]

Like, if I can. I'll probably be in jail right now, but I got sacrifice. I got kids.

[Jada]

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

Chango, that's crazy.

You ain't understand that.

[Cardi B]

At the beginning, I wasn't really there. Now I'm there.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

It's too real. She couldn't tell you something. You, as an example.

[Jada]

She went home.

[Joe Crack (Fat Joe)]

I use you as an example, right? Because before you made great music, before you ever dropped a song, people loved you. They loved your personality. They love your outspokenness, your realness. And then you dropped the hit, which is like, we fucking love her already. And now we support your music. There's some people that's talented as shit that just. That people don't gravitate to you, don't have that problem. You're a phenomenon where people just love you and they just sit there with every last word you say and they gonna support you 10 million percent because you the real deal. And so I have no doubts on you. I never had doubts ever, ever, ever. You're a perfectionist. That's why it took so long to drop this album. She threw some shit out there, bro. That shit crazy, man. So we proud of you.
