Cardi B Recalls Recording "Annoying" Clean Version Of "Bongos" For Pop Radio

Cardi B finally joined the popular Complex show Hot Ones for a literally spicy interview.
 

The newest episode dropped Thursday (Sept. 28), where the Bronx rapstress spoke to host Sean Evans about her Hip-Hop idols, extraterrestrials, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and more. One segment in particular that stood out was the 30-year-old speaking on what it’s like to record “clean” versions of her songs, while simultaneously taking on the “wings of death” challenge.
 

Explaining how “annoying” it was to record a radio-friendly version of her recent single “Bongos” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi said she was “over it.”




“So annoying. I was so over it,” she hilariously shared. “In [‘Bongos‘] I’d be like, ‘Ni**a, eat this a** like a plum.’ So [when] I’m doing the clean version, I’m like, ‘Baby, eat it up like a plum.’ [But] they’re like, ‘No you still can’t play that for pop radio.’ Whatever.”

“So I’m like, ‘Baby, eat these peaches and plums,'” she continued. “That sounds so corny, that sounds like Kidz Bop. But, I had no choice. So baby, eat these peaches and plums.”

The Bronx star and Houston hottie’s second collab will be it for a while, as Cardi revealed in August that she’s focusing on her next solo single and album. “I’m not going to release any more collaborations, I’m going to put out my next solo single,” she told Complex. This year so far, Cardi has worked with her husband Offset on their song, “Jealousy,” with Latto for “Put It On Da Floor Again,” and FendiDa Rappa on “Point Me 2.” The Atlantic-signee’s next album doesn’t have a title or date yet, but it will be her second studio album following her 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy. “I have a day. It’s not coming around my birthday,” the rapper told SiriusXM’s DJ Whoo Kid during his show, Whoo’s House. “It’s not coming around my birthday. It’s not. Imma let y’all know. Matter of fact, I don’t want nothing coming out in the month of October. October is my month.” Watch Cardi B’s Hot Ones interview above and her speaking on her next album below.
