The WAP artist explained that when Kulture was born back in July 2018 there weren't a lot of artists "who had babies at the beginning of their career."

"I didn't have an album out when I found out I was pregnant. Everybody was so nervous for my career and future, but I kept telling them, 'It's easy. Trust me, I'm going to have a nanny and she’s going to travel up and down with me. It's not even going to be a hassle.'"

Cardi further revealed that she initially planned to hire help her then-newborn, but she quickly realized that she didn't trust anyone after being launched into stardom.
