“I think when you look at the success that both Cardi and Nicki have achieved, they are what a lot of these artists [on the show] aspire to be,” she said while comparing the situation to that of a scene on the popular VH1 franchise. “When you get to that point, there’s a different kind of struggle that comes with having reached that level of success.”
