Cardi B Has Strong Words For Critics Who Called Her 'Ugly'

The "WAP" hit-maker went on to say that in addition to tapping into the confidence she built up during her years as an exotic dancer, she uses the music she creates, which has been harnessed to pump up many-a-fan when they themselves might need an "I'm a bada** b****" boost, to remind herself who she is. "When I do music, I be f*****g gassing myself up" (via E!). 

And for all the hate Cardi B might get online, she gets plenty of love she could take a peek at on a rough day (when she ever has one). Her Twitter, for instance, is full of hyped up fans congratulating her on her new single, "Up," with messages like," Am gonna have to sue Spotify. cause ure not on the 'Hottest single list,'" and "QUEEN YOU DID IT AGAIN." Another exclaimed, "Amazing song. Masterpiece visual. Congratulations Cardi! You did it again!"
