Cardi, however, wants those rappers to make the most of their opportunities with music and leave the streets alone.“On some G sh*t, yo, let me tell y’all little n****s something,” she said during an Instagram Live stream. “I know it’s a lot of smoke, I know how sh*t goes, but use y’all music to get signed and get the f*ck out the Bronx because it’s only death and indictments out there.” She has a point; even her host on “Shake It,” Kay Flock, is currently in jail, while another rapper who appears on the song, Dougie B, was recently picked up on a probation violation.Meanwhile, in another video, Cardi explained the difference between the Bronx and Brooklyn drill styles.
