Cardi B is revealing the secret meaning behind her new lyrics!
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon for The Tonight Show on Thursday (February 11), the 28-year-old Grammy award winner shared the meaning behind the lyrics to her song “Up.”
When Jimmy asked about the line “If it’s up, then it’s stuck,” Cardi responded that it’s a phrase her husband Offset uses “a lot.” She added that she initially thought it was a “Georgia thing,” but that fans from other Southern states told her they also used the phrase.
Then Jimmy asked what the lyrics meant and was shocked by Cardi‘s explanation.
“Um, so have you ever taken a poop, right, and it don’t come out?” Cardi said. “It’s just up and it’s stuck. Yeah.”
Jimmy looked completely taken aback by her response and said after a long pause, “Alright. I mean, I guess you can take from it whatever you want. There’s other ways to look at it, I guess.”
The 28-year-old “WAP” rapper shared a video of her 2-year-old daughter using her face as a canvas for makeup, smearing colors on her mom’s eyes and lips.
“This is me with no makeup. You can see, you know, all the little blemishes on my face. You can see my lips so chapped… I just woke up 20 minutes ago, didn’t even brush my hair. Like, I feel good,” she said.
She then called out anyone who sees a woman doing well and responds by “trying to put their confidence down,” saying it “don’t work on me anymore. I just want to channel that I feel comfortable in my skin, that I’m great, that I’m happy, my record’s doing great.”
“Just because you go so much hatred in your heart that when I do great y’all want to put it down — you can’t. Imma stay on top, with this face, with this natural face, makeup or not, a b–h is doing good.”

Cardi B has something exciting to be celebrating right now!
The 28-year-old rapper just released her new single “Up” and she was spotted stepping out after her virtual release party on Thursday night (February 4) in West Hollywood, Calif.
Cardi wore a long red wig and a skin-tight camouflage jumpsuit. She was joined by some friends, including her husband Offset.
“I’m tired right now I will be tagging everyone I mentioned tomorrow on pics .Thank you for all the love and support …Check out my new single UP on all platforms!” Cardi captioned the below post on her Instagram account.
“I’m good, but I’m very nervous. Oh my gosh. This week has been a really…not a bad week, but a bad week for my nerves. I’ve been waking up early. I haven’t been able to eat, I’ve been like…well, I don’t know. I feel like I get criticized a lot, and scrutinized, so it’s just like everything…everything. I always feel like I’ve got to be super, super, super perfect. I’m a Libra, so everybody’s opinion always counts to me,” she said of the lead-up to release “Up.”
“My last song was very sexual, very sexual, so I always want my next songs to be different than the one before. If a topic on one of my songs is money, the other topic, I want it to be about something else. When I started rapping, when I first put music out, like my mixtape, it was all…this might sound crazy, but I got really inspired of Drill Chicago music. I was young, and I liked that and everything, so my mixtape was very all about gangster violence. If it’s up, then it’s stuck. That’s where I wanted to take it with this record.”
She also talked about putting Internet hate into her music.
“Lately, every hate that I get on social media, I write it down. I write it down. I write it down. I write it down. Oh, like recently, right? Yesterday, I did a song, right? Every six months, people always want to debate about my race, because people, they don’t really understand the Caribbean islands. They don’t understand the Dominican Republic, nothing. Every six months. Every single time a Hispanic artist is on some some high heat, for some reason, they always bring me up, right? I don’t want to give you a tip of my records. It’s going to go on my album. I’ve got to explain my race every six months, so I put it in my song. Like, my race is Bronx and suck my d-k. That’s what I’m mixed with. That’s my race. Bronx and suck my d-k. I put it in…lately, I’ve been on social media, and every hate sh-t, every positive sh-t, I write it down, and I put it on my record. That’s what I’m doing now.”
“I really wanted to put out an album last year, but it was like, ‘I feel like I don’t have the right songs.’ I have recorded so many songs. I think I’ve got like 50 songs recorded, and I’m just still not satisfied. If I’m not satisfied, I’m just not satisfied, but I really want to put out an album this year,” she said of an upcoming album.
“Big bag bussin out the Bentley Bentayga / Man Balenciaga Bardi back and all these bitches f–ked / It’s big bags bussin out the Bentley Bentayga / Man Birkin bag Bardi back and all you bitches f–ked,” Cardi raps on the new song. “If it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s stuck / If it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s stuck / Aye.”
During the live stream before the song was released, Cardi opened up about the inspiration behind “Up,” saying she wanted to do something more “hood” while her last song “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion was more on the “sexy” side.
