Cardi B is shedding light on living with anxiety. The 31-year-old rapper explained in a new interview how she “lost” herself while feeling “afraid” to appear in public throughout 2023.

“Like last year, I barely dropped music,” Cardi admitted during a recent interview of 360 with Speedy. “It’s just like I was just afraid to do everything.”

“I just feel like I lost myself with everything,” the “I Like It” artist said, adding, “You know, like a lot of music commenters and everything

And a lot of people just be like, you know, ‘She’s afraid to drop an album, she’s afraid to drop music.’”
