Cardi B seldom collaborates with male rappers unlike her main music rival Nicki Minaj who has worked with dozens of male colleagues.
Cardi B recently revealed she has reservations working with male rappers while reflecting on her career after being crowned 2020’s Billboard Woman of The Year.
The ‘La Bebe’ hit maker revealed that she does not collaborate with enough male rappers because she is too shy to ask for features.
“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 star-struck. I’ll be thinking I’m corny, even though I’m funny,” said Cardi B an interview with Billboard.

Cardi B further revealed that she experiences slight embarrassment and feels so vulnerable while composing her songs.
“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…like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t. This is so embarrassing,” said Cardi B.
