Cardi B Blames Mercury for Not Being Outside More: ‘This Retrograde Is Whooping Our Ass’

Cardi B told her fans she has been less active than she wanted in recent months, saying she had been dealing with personal difficulties. She joked that Mercury or another planet’s retrograde might be responsible, while reassuring fans she expects to regain her energy and be more present.

She also said she was taking criticism in stride, adding that words could help build her up. Her upcoming appearances include co-headlining Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival in Miami on 21 November, ahead of the game’s 19 November release, and receiving Billboard Canada’s first Global Woman of the Year award in Toronto on 24 November. She recently shared the first photos of her youngest child, Grey Marsean, as he turned one.
