She revealed Cardi B as her September cover star on Tuesday (August 11), and in her cover story, the outspoken rapper gained sincerity about the murder of Breonna Taylor, her upcoming sophomore album and more.
“That’s so insane for me,” she said of the 26-year-old EMT, who was fatally struck when she fell asleep by three Louisville police officers who conducted a no-knock search in March. at her apartment.
“[I saw] Breonna Taylor’s name everywhere, but I did not really know her story. What they did to them is really f-ked up. Really f – ked up. What is the excuse? Why is the cop not in jail? Wasn’t that what he did to a crime? It’s a crime! And no apology. No apology. No video of the cop coming out screaming, ‘I’m stopped. I do not do this. I do not do that. ‘ Nothing at all. It’s nothing. I do not even know how her mother still holds her head up. Unbelievable. “
And although Taylor’s name has gone viral in the months since her tragic death, Cardi has called on her male colleagues in the world of hip-hop not to speak out in support of the murdered Black first responder. “A woman like Breonna Taylor, she was young,” she said She. “She looked like she was listening to your music. She looked like you were a fan. You should stick to her.”
The star also starred Donald Trump in the cover story, and was not afraid to become realistic about why she did not support him as president. ‘Those people he meets [to], he will do nothing for her, “she said. It’s not when Republicans get better housing. It’s not like Republicans get better benefits. They are not. He does nothing for anyone. He just says things that offend the same people. I want a president who makes me safe. I want a president who understands the pain of the people. I want a president who will give us answers.
During the interview, Cardi also posted what fans can expect from her next album, which will serve as a sequel to her Grammy-winning debut of LP 2018 Invasion of privacy and probably got her raunchy new Megan Thee Stallion collaboration “WAP.”
“My music will always make a woman feel like a bad b – ch,” the rapper said. “If you feel like a woman like she’s the worst b – ch in the room, for me, then that’s female empowerment. But this album will be really different. Of course it will have me Lemonade moments, my personal relationship moments … I did not really know how to perform my last song, so I just got my creativity back. I do not want to single one out and people buy it because I am Cardi. I want to put on really good music. “
