Cardi B says that she's not interested in making music about her "pain" or "struggles" and instead wants it to "just be about fun." She discussed the idea of handling more serious topics during an interview on Complex’s Hot Ones.
“A lot of people tell me I should put my pain, my struggle, in my music,” Cardi began. “A lot of my pain, or struggles, or whatever the crap is going on, the masses might not be able to relate. The masses might not be able to relate. Like it’s like, oh my gosh, they’re tearing a new asshole on Twitter on me because I said this, this, and that.”

She continued: “The average person is like, ‘Girl! Shut up! I gotta work at 7 AM in the morning.’ I gotta do this, this, and that. So it’s like, I don’t really like to make music — like I would normally do an intro, like I would just literally like to make my intro of everything — addressing all the bullshit, addressing the bitches, addressing the shit I gotta go through, and then just the whole album, just be about fun."
