Cardi B Thinks She Cleared a Path for Female Rappers to Be Signed
.
Cardi B wants her credit
where credit is due.
.
The rapper first made some controversial comments in
an interview for Tidal's 'Rap Radar Podcast' on Oct. 21.
.
I feel like after me it's easier for a lot of female rappers. Before me, there was no female rapper that was signed to a label. Well, you know, the ones that had been established.

Nobody was signing them. Now, everybody's just signing them, if you can rap and you got a couple
of followers.

Cardi clarified her comments on Twitter after the interview went public.
.
I didn’t say I pave the way for female rappers but I deff gave the hood and women hope. N----- wasn’t collabing with females rappers.
, Cardi B, via Twitter.
Labels where signing female rappers and putting them in a shelf and not focusing on them. Not giving them proper attention.

T.I., who was also a guest on the podcast, agreed with Cardi B's comments.

I think she kind of kicked the doors down with being personable. Most women when they came out were extremely mysterious, you hardly heard them talk.
