CARDI B WANTS FANS TO RESPECT STRIPPERS, STOP JUDGING THEM
The 26-year-old, who has yet to publicly comment on the news, has been open about her previous career as a stripper.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan last February, the "Money" singer explained how she hopes her own rise to fame will encourage others to respect strippers.
“People say, ‘Why do you always got to say that you used to be a stripper? We get it,’” she told the magazine. “Because y’all don’t respect me because of it, and y’all going to respect these strippers from now on… Just because somebody was a stripper don’t mean they don’t have no brain.”
