Interesting Vox article on how Cardi B works hard for her shmoney. It sadly didn’t try to connect Cardi B to any female artists beyond Beyonce. Perhaps if Constance Grady had looked back a bit further to the 1970s or 1980s could have made connections between Cardi B with someone like Madonna or Donna Summer, both of whom have more relevance to understanding Cardi B than do comparisons with her contemporaries. Grady has plenty of other stories, however, that make some great historical/modern day connections.
