ABC/Randy Holmes It’s hard to believe considering how many money moves she’s made in such a short time, but Cardi B made her television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! only a year ago.
A mantel full of awards later, Cardi returned to the show Wednesday night and talked about fame, her baby, and how she wants more siblings for little Kulture Kiari Cephus, her baby with husband Offset.
“Almost exactly one year ago you made your television debut right here on this stage,” Kimmel said, from his temporary home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. “How have things been going since then?”
The Bronx-born Cardi exclaimed, “Oh my God, it’s crazy. It’s only been 12 months, I can’t even believe it!”
Jimmy asked her if her fame is fun. “It’s not,” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper admitted. “Because you want to know something? Like…there’s certain things that I want to do with my daughter. Like I want to go to the beach with my baby. I want to take a stroll down the street with my baby, and it’s just like I can’t, because I just I don’t know who’s next to me and who has certain intentions.”
She added of little Kulture, “I don’t want to show my baby out to the public right now. I just want to protect her. I’m not like mentally ready…Paparazzi everywhere…[R]ight now I’ve got to keep it very low key.”
However, Cardi noted of motherhood: “It’s the best. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, should have had you when I was a teenager!'”
She wants as many as four kids, but she did have one caveat about Kulture. “She broke my vagina,” Cardi said, bringing down the house. “Why nobody tells you about those things?”
