“I’m afraid she’ll curse me out straight to my face because of all the nonsense.”: Cardi B says she wants to present Rihanna with a ‘perfect record’ before asking her to collaborate on music | HO

Cardi B wants to work with Rihanna, but before she reaches out to the star, she wants to present her with a ‘perfect record.’

The WAP hitmaker admitted she ‘sounds stupid’ trying to make music that sounds like the We Found Love hitmaker’s previous projects.

But she isn’t going to let it stop her from coming up with a song that could work as a duet for the pair.

While speaking on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast, she said: ‘I love Rihanna’s music.

‘But, I don’t [make] music like that. I sound kinda stupid trying to sing like that. I sound stupid trying to make music like that.’

She added: ‘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.”‘

However, the 31-year-old songstress admitted that she is anxious about Riri’s response and feedback on the possible project.

‘I don’t want to send her nothing like, “What is this? Take this thing out of my face.”‘

The New York native has already released popular duets with stars like Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, GloRilla, Flo Milli, and many more.

However, the Bodak Yellow hitmaker previously admitted she is ‘too shy’ to ask male artists to collaborate with her.

The hip-hop star – who has appeared on songs with the likes of Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 – has said she doesn’t have the nerve to ask some of her favorite male counterparts to jump on a track with her because she gets ‘starstruck’ easily and fears she will sound ‘corny’.

When speaking to Billboard in 2020, she said: ‘When female artists are rising, you don’t have to put one down because the others are rising. Every single time a female rapper comes out, people wanna start fake beef.

‘Maybe because they don’t see me [with other women] as often as people want to. The thing is, I’m shy — and really shy to reach out to male artists, to be honest with you. 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 starstruck. I be thinking I’m corny, even though I’m funny.’

The mother-of-two also admitted she gets embarrassed when she sings songs that showcase her emotions and love life.

When asked if she was able to get more personal on her upcoming second studio album she said: ‘Kinda sorta, but then again, when it comes to me writing or putting ideas of my personal life [in the music], I get really shy.

‘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. I be like, “Oh, my God, I can’t. This is so embarrassing.”‘

Her sophomore album is set to be an eagerly anticipated sequel to 2018’s Invasion of Privacy. While it is her second album on Atlantic Records, the new project will be her first in six years.
