Cardi B Reveals How Upcoming Shakira Collab Came To Fruition: 'It Really Landed On My Lap'

Cardi B has revealed that she couldn’t be more excited to work with Shakira, with whom she has worked on a new song.

On a new episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game that dropped on Saturday (March 16), she revealed that she crossed paths with the superstar by chance.

“I always wanted to do a record with Shakira and it’s like, wow, it landed on my lap. It really landed on my lap, so I got a record coming out with her next week,” she said at the 48:55 mark. “It’s like, ‘Bitch, I’ll do whatever the fuck you want me to do, bitch. I’ll fly to Colombia.’ Like, I’ll go over there right now.”

After explaining that she initially linked up with Shakira during Paris Fashion Week, Cardi continued: “I saw her in Paris and I talked to her. I don’t like being in bitch’s face about it. I’m like, ‘I have to, my sister she did a talent show when she was in first grade and she won doing your song! I just love you so much, like you’re a part of my life.’

“And then her team reached out to me. I’m like, ‘Owww, Shakira, Shakira.’ I was gagging.”

“So, if I ever get that perfect record, I can not wait until I feel like, ‘This song … I know she’s going to like it.’ I don’t want to send her nothing like, ‘Ho, what the fuck is this shit? Take this thing out of my face.’”

Additionally, she also shared her thoughts about whether or not couples should split bills 50/50.

“This is really controversial,” she stated. “How y’all ever gonna save up to buy a house or buy a business if you make the same money but he pays all the bills? ‘Cause he’s never gonna be able to afford to. Certain things it’s a joint thing to do.”

“The internet really messes with people’s heads when it comes to real-life stuff,” she added.
