Cardi B Claims She Paved The Way For More Female Rappers To Get Signed
Cardi B wants her credit for opening the doors for more female rappers.
Cardi is one of judges for the new hip hop competition show, Rhythm + Flow, on Netflix.
During an interview with Rap Radar, she was asked about what she looks for in the artists and then she chimed in, “I feel like, after me, I’ll say that it’s kinda easier for a lot of these female artists… like before me, there was no female rapper that was signed to a label – well, you know the ones that had already been established.”
“Nobody was signing them. And now, everybody’s just signing them if you could rap and you got a couple of followers because nobody wants to miss the opportunity. Like, a lot of labels missed the opportunity with me because I went to a couple of motherfuckers and they said no, no, no, no. “
