Cardi Bhas a way with words!
While appearing on Thursday’s episode ofThe Tonight ShowStarring Jimmy Fallon, the Grammy-winning rapper, 28, opened up about her new chart-topping single"Up." In particular, she elaborated on thetrue meaning behind the lyric"If it’s up, then it’s stuck."
First, Cardi explained that her husband Offset says the phrase “a lot,” which originally led her to believe it was a “Georgia thing,” but then fans from other Southern states informed her that they use the phrase too.
“‘If it’s up, then it’s stuck.’ What does that mean?” asked Fallon, 46.
Awkward silence followed, before Fallon finally responded. “Wow,” he said, as Cardi nodded.
“Alright,” he continued. “I mean, I guess you can take from it whatever you want. There’s other ways to look at it, I guess.”
“It’s a metaphorical quote,” added Cardi.

In aninterviewwith Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the rapper discussed her approach to her latest single.“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,” she said.
