To promote the project, Berry took part in a series of Q&A sessions with a few of the soundtrack’s artists, including Cardi and Young M.A. During the first episode, Halle recounted her two-day experience as an exotic dancer, their favorite sex positions, old celebrity flings and what was Cardi’s first purchased with the money she made from the diamond-selling single “Bodak Yellow.”
“I bought my mom a mansion,” Cardi told Halle, who quickly reacted with an “oh shit” to drive the shock home.
Cardi B Responds To Halle Berry Crowning Her ‘The Queen Of Hip Hop’ – Over Nicki Minaj
For all the love Berry has given female rappers during the Bruised promotion cycle and beyond, she found herself caught up in an age-old issue when she referred to Cardi B as the “Queen Of Rap,” agitating Nicki Minaj’s Barbz fanbase.
After innocently answering the question during a press conference for Bruised, she took time on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to further explain how there’s room for all women to succeed and be considered a Queen of the genre.
“Here’s the thing, there’s room for more than one queen, people,” she said. “That’s what we need to know. Nicki is a queen in her own right, H.E.R. is a queen. All these ladies to me are queens. There can always be more than one.”
