Overview
- Cardi B told fans on X Spaces that complaints about her music don’t motivate her and instead make her want to stop working on music.
- She said she has not been in the studio recently and has decided to take the summer off to ‘live my best life’ and spend time with her children.
- Cardi kept a selective release approach, saying not every song needs the same level of promotion, and a late-July single that addressed critics was reported to reach the Hot Rap Songs top 10.
- Around the same week she spoke on X Spaces she discussed past cosmetic procedures on Instagram Live and made limited public appearances, including an Old Navy event and a small private celebration in New York.
- Her comments come after a No. 1 album in September 2025 and a major arena tour that ended in April, and they highlight how direct social audio and livestreams let artists explain promotion choices and manage public expectations.
