Rapper, entrepreneur and now life coach. Cardi B can do it all.
During a Tuesday (March 24) guest appearance on TODAY with hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones, Cardi gave viewers life advice and words of wisdom in the way that only she can.
“[Cardi B’s] known for keeping it real,” said Bush Hager. “So we want to tap into that honesty and have her help our viewers.”
The hosts introduced a new segment, “Cardi Code,” where they read real-life situations sent into the show for Cardi to weigh in on live. Naturally, the Bronx native was unfiltered in her responses.
“You might be at work and your mom is dealing with your kids fussing and fussing and fussing and fussing,” she said to a mother upset that her own mother feeds her children sugary foods while she’s away at work. “And sometimes you gotta shut them up. It’s like, ‘Here’s a cookie to shut up.’”
Cardi then explained that she is strict with her own children and ensures that every day after school they participate in a different extracurricular activity.
“I do see that my kids, they’re sleepy after school,” she said. “But you’re going to regret that you don’t know how to do one of these activities when you get older.”
When another fan asked how to handle a hairstylist who oversteps boundaries and asks invasive questions, the “Up” rapper kept her advice short and sweet: “Girl, just buy headphones…Listen to Cardi B.”
The segment concluded with Cardi advising a distressed fiancée facing issues with her future sister-in-law to set boundaries and not tolerate disrespect.
“Cardi, you need an advice column, ASAP,” said Bush Hager.
“I need somebody to give me advice,” the rapper joked in response. “You know what? I don’t need advice. I just do things differently. I do it for the plot.”
