Cardi B Defends using Songwriters in the Studio

Cardi B recently addressed questions surrounding her practice of collaborating with songwriters during her music creation process. The rapper known for her hit “Bongos” found herself defending her artistic approach following a post by The Neighborhood Talk, where she passionately asserted that Hip Hop originated in the Bronx during her appearance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.

However, Cardi B also took a moment to respond to a user who had seemingly questioned her lyrical abilities as a solo artist. She provided insight into her musical journey, stating, “I started music before LHH [Love and Hip Hop] and wrote about MY struggles and life as a dancer,” Cardi B explained. “Go listen to them mixtapes also I went to school for musical theatre and technology.”

Furthermore, Cardi B emphasized that receiving assistance with a song’s hook should not diminish an artist’s credibility. She pointed out, “Just because somebody might help me with a hook means nothing. Look at all ya fav artists credits they all do receive some type of help.”

This approach to songwriting collaboration allows Cardi B to maintain her artistic integrity while embracing the collaborative spirit of the music industry, ensuring that her music resonates with a wide audience.
