Clearing the Air on Cardi B’s Comments: Mona Addresses the Internet Backlash and Explains Why She Spoke Out About Colorism, Marketing, and Opportunity. Mona: “In the clip, Cardi is saying basically how her success has nothing to do with colorism or her complexion or whatever, that her success is more based around the fact that she knows how to market herself.” Mona: “She says some people are not intelligent enough to market themselves to go get in these rooms with people and be able to sell themselves.” Mona: “Cardi is somebody that I consider intelligent. Cardi has a favorite president. Cardi likes history. Cardi, you know what I mean, she's intelligent. Cardi reminds me of myself in a lot of ways.” Mona: “What I'm thinking about is the Black women that see this video or the people that are in the industry like artists, younger artists because that's not true.” Mona: “So the fact that, not only is the fact that she's light, she's Dominican, what makes it even more jazzy in this country.” Mona: “All the girls that was dark-skinned and Black wasn't allowed in the section. We was in the section with them. I'm the famous one. I'm with the one with the bread. They were treating him like he was somebody. So our section was only Cape Verdians.”
