American rapper Cardi B recently revealed in a candid interview how her fear of facing backlash on social media had a significant impact on her career.
During a discussion with Complex 360 with Speedy series, Cardi opened up about the struggles she faced and the inner battles she fought to overcome the fear that threatened her creativity and success.
Despite her typically bold and outspoken demeanor, Cardi B showed a more vulnerable side during the conversation.
She confessed that despite her massive success and countless followers, the constant stream of criticism and negativity on social media platforms took a toll on her, causing her to second-guess her talent and personal life.
The pressure to always deliver hits and maintain a certain image left her feeling anxious and discouraged.
She said:
“I just feel like I lost myself with everything.“A lot of music commenters and everything and a lot of people just be like, ‘She’s afraid to drop an album, she’s afraid to drop music.
“Like last year, I barely dropped music.
“It’s just like I was just afraid to do everything.”
