Cardi B recently shared her thoughts on why some men prefer “average” women over what she considers “perfect 10s” like herself.

During a live video, the rapper discussed men’s choices and their discomfort with independent women who are financially successful.

A publication summarized her statements, claiming, “Cardi B claims men prefer less attractive women because they are more submissive than perfect 10s!”

Cardi quickly clarified her comments, responding: “This was not what the live was about. It was about how men are intimidated by women who make their own money because they’re not as easy to control. A man told me why he’d rather date 6s instead of 10s. Y’all want to make it about ME so people can bully me.”

When an X (formerly Twitter) user questioned her confidence, asking, “You actually call yourself a perfect 10?” Cardi replied: “I didn’t… but I AM: pretty face, pretty frame, little feet, smell good, never got an odor even when it’s that time of the month, got that grippy, street smart, a hustler, rich AF, a God-fearing woman. Baby, I can upgrade a man’s life AND buy yours!! A perfect 10.”

Her bold response has sparked widespread reactions, with fans praising her confidence and self-assurance.
