The first time Rawiya Kameir spoke with Cardi B, the rapper was known for her posts on Vine, her time on the reality TV show “Love and Hip Hop” and her famous catchphrase, “okurrr.”
It was 2016, and Kameir was writing a profile of Cardi for The FADER, a lifestyle and music magazine. The next time the two would speak in 2017, while meeting for lunch at Nobu in Manhattan the up-and-coming rapper had found more success, and Kameir’s profile of Cardi would be The FADER’s cover story.
