In a recent interview with the Hip Hop Socialite, Karrine challenges Amber Rose and Cardi B to take their images a step further.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
ON THE ADVICE SHE WOULD GIVE TO THE UP-AND-COMING LADIES IN THE INDUSTRY, LIKE CARDI B AND AMBER ROSE:
To use your brain as much as, or more than, you use your body. To understand that everything comes to an end, and so when you build something based on a caricature of yourself, eventually, and not that long from now, you’ll be in your 30s, and for women who have children, your children will get older, and life starts making a lot more sense. For me it was when I neared 35, around 33, things started looking different for me. Here I am nearly 38, and things look a whole lot different. It was important for me to write more, to use my voice more, to voice my opinions more, and not in a way that other people expected me to. I’m very different from a Cardi B, but still not that different. I think a major difference is that I am, you know, I’ve always been an intellectual. I’ve always been very cerebral, and not a caricature. I didn’t allow people to make me into what they wanted me to be. I think it’s important for women, especially as the public looking at them, to not become what other people want you to be. It’s a dead end because then, when they’re done with you, when they’re done with the character, when they’re done with what they created, they’ll just create something else.
It’s important to find our own voice and to get into our studies and to really study, really, really study and read, and to be articulate so that people can take us seriously on a broader scale. To be educated and to move ourselves out of the situation where we start and not stay there because it makes other people happy, you know. I would love to see someone like Cardi B move into an intellectual position ‘cause she has a lot to say, and I’d love to see her do it in a way that doesn’t make her a caricature for a network run by white people who don’t care about the health and well-being of black women. I’d love to see her be that way. I’d love to see that happening with Amber Rose. As she goes into her new talk show, I’d love to see what she has to talk about. I’m anxious to see her twerk less and speak more. I’m anxious to see women who have the spotlight use their voices more than they use their bodies and to not let the public put them in a box. So I sit back and I watch the women as they grow. I’m a little older than everyone that we’re talking about, and I look forward to their growth. I look forward to it.
The shade is REAL….
and thick lmao
LMBO!
I wish Super Head would shut her pretentious a-s up. She really believes she is somehow doing better than younger THOTs when she’s had how many failed “marriages” and keeps dealing with bum a-s dudes. She ain’t got no advice worth hearing for no damn body. Especially when she is a caricature her damn self!
I can’t believe people are still interviewing this woman. LOL.
I don’t understand it either.
I just want to know how do you intellectually suck a d-ck, seeing how she’s always been so cerebral and all. Anyone….??????
Hmmmm I was honking the same….she has nerve to talk when the only things she’s been using to come up is her mouth and her cooch…she needs to worry about herself and why is she still a BIRD at her age….what growth has she done or shown???? Bish still be talking about being rappers side pieces from way back….Amber (even tho I don’t care for her) and Cardi B is doing much better than this stale a$$ washed up tryna old Thot
She meant cerebral in that she has brain on deck!!
Great but she needs to challenge herself to act her age and finally get her own mess of a life together. To be honest, Amber and Cardi are doing well for themselves with less the drama Karrine continues to have.
Cardi is actually smarter than Amber and Karrine combined. At least she understands you don’t deal with f-ck boys. When will Karrine? When will Amber?
Karrine can’t seem to get attention without mentioning other people.
I’m still waiting for Karrine to display this intelligence she keeps talking about.
*blank stare*
I think she needs to worry about herself. She’s not exactly setting a good example for Amber or Cardi now is she?
Good point just wrong person giving it. And old bird cant tell a young bird to do better when she not living proof of a change
Essentially she is telling them to learn from her mistakes… she was/is a caricature whether she wants to believe it or not.
