Cardi B Refuses to Do Dancehall Song for THIS Reason

Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy's ranking on Rolling Stone's list of the 200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time sent the internet into a frenzy. In her latest interview, she said that was a deliberate trap for her and she admitted to having her own reservations about her abilities, with dancehall for instance.

Cardi B featured on the most recent episode of Angela Yee's Lip Service podcast on June 5, the rapper reveals she is apprehensive about dancehall even if she likes the genre. Cardi B earned the admiration and respect of many Jamaicans when she threw a 90s Passa Passa-themed birthday party last year. The singer has always mentioned that her favorite artists are Vybz Kartel and Spice.

When asked about Angela Yee regarding her possibly creating a dancehall song, Cardi B was a little more reticent as she pointed out that she hasn't recorded any songs in the genre before.

"I'm really nervous to do something like that because it's just like... it's just certain things that is like you not gonna do because you not that great at it... it's like a little bit out of my lane."

She noted that if she were to enter the genre, it would be natural and not contrived.

In this interview, she also showed that instead of being happy that she was ranked higher than NAS by Rolling Stone, the rapper is angry. She thinks she was used, most specially since there was a huge uproar after that list came out. She believes that the uproar caused by her ranking was the envisioned outcome of Rolling Stone. For her, she was exploited to generate controversy and page views for the list.

"Of course they're gonna use a bitch like me, but at No. 16 before Biggie 'cause it's gonna start a stir," she added. "Yeah, it was, like, a setup. Y'all niggas tried to set me up. Rolling Stone, you trying to set me up. You got my ass dragged on a fucking Tuesday for no reason."

Rolling Stone's list, which was published in June, sent tongues wagging - some amazed and some suspicious. Cardi B's album Invasion of Privacy debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 chart, surpassing critically acclaimed albums such as Nas' Illmatic, OutKast's Aquemini, MF Doom's Madvillainy, Dr. Dre's The Chronic, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter 3, 2Pac's All Eyez on Me, Jay-Reasonable Z's Doubt, Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.
