What does Cardi B say about balancing motherhood and her booming career?

The rapper and entrepreneur disclosed at Create and Cultivate LA—the world’s largest festival for women in business—that her current schedule prevents her from spending time with her children and grandparents in the Dominican Republic. She described her present year as one of the busiest of her career.

What Cardi B said about family time and career pressure

During an exclusive sit-down, Cardi B was asked whether her packed professional calendar interferes with life outside work. She responded candidly, stating that being “Cardi” has evolved into “a whole walking business.” She emphasized the personal cost: “Like right now I really wish I was in the Dominican Republic with my kids and my grandparents,” she said. “That’s what I really want to be and where I want to be at.”

Her $120 million business empire and emotional priorities

Cardi B confirmed her business holdings are now valued at approximately $120 million. That figure includes her haircare line, Grow Good. She noted that witnessing real consumer results from the products moved her more deeply than praise for her music. She also characterized the past year as “insane,” referencing multiple heartbreaks she experienced—yet affirmed she has no plans to slow down.

Future plans: more children and new music

On expanding her family, Cardi B confirmed she intends to have one or two additional children—but not in the immediate future. She also signaled upcoming musical output, indicating the new material will reflect her experiences over the past several months.
