    Cardi B Often Feels 'Scared' to Ask Male Artists for Collaboration

    Billboard Magazine/AB+DM

    The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker claims she still has a lot of dream duets that haven’t materialized because she’s too shy and afraid to reach out to male artists in the industry.

    Dec 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Cardi B is so shy that she often feels too scared to ask male rappers to collaborate with her.
    The “Bodak Yellow” star has a fair few collabs under her belts – including the chart-topping “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion and tunes with Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, and 21 Savage – but told Billboard that when it comes to teaming up with her peers, she struggles with the initial stages of contact.
    “The thing is, I’m shy and really shy to reach out to male artists, to be honest with you,” she said. “That’s why a lot of collabs that I want, I haven’t gotten yet because I’m scared to reach out. I always get a little star-struck. I’ll be thinking I’m corny, even though I’m funny.”

    Cardi, who hit headlines with the raunchy lyrics of “WAP”, also said that her shyness can also be an issue when it comes to her laying down romantic songs.
    “When it comes to me writing or putting ideas of my personal life in the music I get really shy,” she said. “When I perform songs like Be Careful or Ring I usually close my eyes because I get really shy about showing that lovey-dovey side. Even to my engineer, I start giggling… like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t. This is so embarrassing.’ ”

    She, however, remained unapologetic over her racy lyrics. “I want to show people that you can do positive things, but you can also be yourself. I’m a very sexual person. I love sex, and I like to rap about it. I like to do it,” she explained.

    “What I’m gonna do is rent a space, put my art in there. During the day it’ll be a gallery,” he explained. “Then at night I shall be DJing and it will be a musical venue, something the old folks will call a rave. I’ll be on the espressos. Oh yes I will. Quadruple espresso. Doing it old school.”
    “I’m very, very excited about this. I want to do it in Berlin. I also want to do it in Tokyo. I wanna do it in several places… It’s one of them things; it’s a passion project. If something happens then great, if not, I’ve just had fun.”
    Back in July, Williams teased a new project with his former bandmate Gary Barlow. Whwn asked about potentially working with Take That again on Mark Wright’s “Heart Evening Show”, he revealed, “I’ve been writing some songs with Gary Barlow in the last few weeks too.”
