[Cardi B]

I don't like to be single. And I always been a lover 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'.

[Fat Joe]

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

[Cardi B]

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

[Fat Joe]

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

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[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 somebody's across it. Somebody's at the next dinner table like this, watching you and just shooting it everywhere.

[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. This.

[Jada]

I didn't say one.

[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 the K1 7 goes to what? I was my mail, on my mail, on my mail, on my mail.

[Jada]

It had been out of here.

[Fat Joe]

Out of here.

[Jada]

We still out of here. Because this is technically one of the first speaking about Athen making the announcement.

[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, I was mad as fuck.

[Jada]

You was a cheating in that court.

[Fat Joe]

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

[Jada]

It's over, right? There's no statute. 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.

[Fat Joe]

She put the camera in your feelings that she.

[Jada]

Like an ATM?

[Cardi B]

Yes.

[Jada]

Bank of America.

[Fat Joe]

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

[Cardi B]

Yes.

[Fat Joe]

And you taking a stand.

[Jada]

See, 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 it. Your shit was not smart, and their career is ruined.

[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 somebody sue me, I'm getting number one.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[Fat Joe]

You know how much money that shit costing? I gotta get number one. You gotta Google my lawyer and be like this motherfucker, number one straight. Oh, I'm scared of that. But that's costing me college.

[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 lie about you, and it will snatch deals off your table before you even go to court. And even. And even if you title or even if the. The lawsuit is thrown away, they'd be like, yeah, still. I still don't want to give you that. With you, because of that accusation, people could accuse you and you could lose everything of that one 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.

[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 gotta sit in the stand? I know you paid them lawyers a whole bunch of money.

[Cardi B]

A whole bunch of money. A whole bunch, hundreds of thousands.

[Fat Joe]

Yes. 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 gotta go to jail. No, give it to me now. Cause they gonna take your shit anyway. You might as well give it to me. That's the realest shit. I walked outta there. I felt like a dolphin with a hole in my head. I'm walking out that bitch like Gizzy. I'm telling my man, you heard this. And this is our guy. He's like, yo, give it to me. Cause them 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 them 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 got to stop punching dudes in the face. They know I got bread costing.

[Cardi B]

But I didn't even touch.

[Fat Joe]

I know you didn't. That's what I said.

[Jada]

Crazy.

[Fat Joe]

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

[Cardi B]

Cuz I don't. Don't try to. Don't try to. Like it's not even about to join my business. Don't try to 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 fuck 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 did it. He just did it to my lawyer. My lawyer. My lawyer is representing 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, you get beat the up.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, that's a fact.

[Jada]

This is a family show.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, but yo, you always with the family. Fuck the family. The Bronx in the building.

[Cardi B]

The family. My cousin.

[Fat Joe]

Yo, that's it.

[Cardi B]

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

[Fat Joe]

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

[Jada]

They just off block, man. Let's talk about the new album, right? What finally made you want to let some music out? I follow you. So I watch the people always saying, when you gonna let. What really? What made you say fuck 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]

Right. Eclipse had one of the best rollouts we seen in years. And I think you running neck and neck, but you doing that. The other old school traditional kids going on the train. You going on. Are you out enough Cold daggers on top of that.

[Fat Joe]

That's some flaw shit.

[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. A club hosting, and I would do a video of, like, in my apartment smoking or anywhere, like, yo, come see me here. And it's like, 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.

[Fat Joe]

You're doing pretty good.

[Cardi B]

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

[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 125th. Y' all trying to act like, watch how I promote. That's how I took it.

[Cardi B]

No, no, no, no.

[Jada]

They gonna put on Jenny Fallon and all that shit she just doing. She goes 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. 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. They make a lot of money off me, child. They gonna support me. They gonna give me somebody.

[Fat Joe]

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

[Cardi B]

I can't help it.

[Jada]

You know, the other day sometimes I.

[Fat Joe]

Was 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 hat at, nigga?

[Cardi B]

And you happy with the product, seeing a lot of females on your album. And Cash Cobain. So you on some female shit. This whole.

This album right here, I know it's gonna be fire with whatever the fuck you do. I know. Especially if you took your time. So we expected big, big, big, big things, man. What do you wanna accomplish by the second album? Like what you trying to prove now? What do you need to prove?

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. If 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.

[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 a part of this.

[Jada]

Yeah.

[Cardi B]

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.

[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.

[Fat Joe]

The other twerking, I could 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.

[Fat Joe]

Oh, see 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 used to 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. We outside nothing.

[Fat Joe]

And I like, was too. Ain't nothing. Like Washington Night.

[Cardi B]

Ain't nothing. You had a store there?

[Fat Joe]

I do. 158 from Broadway.

[Cardi B]

Yeah. You had a. You have. You. Okay. You still have your store there then?

[Fat Joe]

I got Dyckman 207.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[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 158 in Broadway and we started selling that shit for double. That's where I learned how to hustle.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[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's. 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 potatoes, yo. They used to fucking like.

[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. It's lit to me.

[Fat Joe]

It's the city that doesn't sleep.

[Cardi B]

Yeah.

[Fat Joe]

When 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.

[Fat Joe]

Night, you get yourself a poppy poodle fit, right? I'm all fucking you with some shit right quick. Be shiny like a motherfucker.

[Cardi B]

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

[Fat Joe]

He still rocked them.

[Cardi B]

He still rocked that money, you know.

[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 gotta be in the background. I mean, I've been to so many.

[Cardi B]

Y' all think you want to be Dominican?

[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.

[Fat Joe]

He'd be like, yo, Goldo, he always hits me up. But this dude, he would come to my studio every night in Miami. Lamborghini. Oh, man, he was the first. He was the first biggest. I don't want to say definitely Dominican. Almost the biggest reggae tone. 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 be capping y'. All. Don't listen to him. Listen. He showed me that. He said, yo, go. I'm about to fly into the stadium. That's my word.

[Jada]

He was looking at it, so he could.

[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 the. He's the biggest rapper. He's just the biggest Dominican rapper of all time. Walking through the chair. Jewels on. And they got flashes. This guy's in jail. People buying sneakers so much. 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, but she's locked up. So think you in Rikers Island. They let you out Friday, Saturday, Sunday, she in the beach. 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 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.

[Fat Joe]

You just try to make some moves.

[Cardi B]

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

[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.

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, yeah, what's that?

[Jada]

She did me dirty one. She did us all dirty one time. Like how the the girls my neck, my back. We hanging out in the hotel and she called the cops on us. Like, yo, the making too much noise. They like, yo, the girl there my neck, my back, my neck and my back me like how the fuck my neck and my back.

[Jada]

You should know she comes. She in the comments alleged she could.

[Fat Joe]

[Cardi B]

[Jada]

I love you.

[Fat Joe]

[Cardi B]

You love her because she could roll.

[Fat Joe]

Love you, Kai. I don't want no smoke. I'm definitely not arguing no smoke. I'm not arguing with no female on Instagram and like that. Just not one. You know how many times I got beat up by girls? 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, not at all.

[Jada]

Never.

[Fat Joe]

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

[Cardi B]

Did you deserve it?

[Fat Joe]

Of course.

[Cardi B]

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

[Fat Joe]

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 want Chef Boyardee and ice cream. You gotta go to the bodega and steal that shit. Like the L was. Whoever lost gotta go get the lunch. Chef Boyardee fucking ice cream 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, Poppycat, you stealing in the store, you coming out there with some stuff. Fucking speed dots out that bitch. But, yeah, we did every type of ghetto shit you could ever think of in the history of me. I'm through with ghetto shit. 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, that ain't ghetto shit. That's cool. That'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 try to be a good example for our community and shit like that. But every type of ghetto shit you ever thought of, I did it.

[Jada]

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

[Fat Joe]

You.

[Jada]

You do a lot of stuff for people want to come. How important is that? To give back? Not too much because, you know, they take advantage from where we from. But yeah, 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 like that, or like you getting that little 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 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. You.

[Fat Joe]

You want to beat the brakes off him. Like.

[Cardi B]

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

[Jada]

Yeah. We need you here for the babies.

[Fat Joe]

Baby, you did me a favor when we did the song together.

[Cardi B]

Oh, yeah, that was fun.

[Fat Joe]

Me, you and I know this my last gold plat.

[Cardi B]

[Fat Joe]

I'm there now, Chango, that's crazy.

[Cardi B]

[Fat Joe]

You ain't understand that.

[Cardi B]

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

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, they say that's my me, but that's not me. What? I just did that as a tribute because the sample we used was. They shit. That's like. They holy. Yeah, that's like, if you took. We wish you a merry Christmas we wish you a merry Christmas. Like, that sample we took is they shit.

All his mans had to be like, damn, boy, she up in the spot like, yo, this might be real. You know what it is to be a star football player? Take your girl up on the field and practice. No, it mean, this is serious. It mean, take this shit serious. Facts. And Cardi B said, oh, no, I got this. He ain't going to nowhere.

Dating to a ball player is very serious, too. It changes you around. They got some real. Yo, you know us rappers, we gotta be very grateful. We get our shit real easy. We can't. We practically could do whatever the fuck we want to do. They are military militant. Time. Wake up at a certain time. Be in the bed at a certain time. Get everything.

I pissed for a certain type of way. You just fuck this bitch in the morning now. You cannot put me in the afternoon. And I need Bigg now. But you can't fuck me because you fucked this bitch earlier. That shit makes you want to argue. That will get me tight and shit.

[Fat Joe]

So you as a female saying, don't go for that. It's got to be turbulence. Then they have to be turbulence. What want me to do, man? Fucking Cardi B. She's saying some real shit. We want to know what the women think. The women want to know what we think. We want to know what they think.
