Cardi B Complains to Andy Cohen on ‘WWHL’ That Strippers These Days Are “Lazy”

Cardi B — a self-proclaimed certified freak, seven days a week — made her debut appearance on Monday night’s (Sept. 11) episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she called out strippers these days for being “lazy.”

A fan wrote into the show to ask the singer, who is a former dancer herself, how much she tips at the strip clubs now that she’s rich and famous. While she said she goes overboard with tipping, she revealed her gripe with strippers nowadays.

“You know what? What I don’t like is, I feel like back then, the strippers used to, like, dance a little harder,” she said. “Like now, the girls don’t even climb the pole. They’re lazy. And I be spending like racks.”

When host Andy Cohen jokingly pointed out they “need to do something,” Cardi replied, “Yeah, like, pop that little puss.”

Before landing a role on VH1’s reality series Love & Hip Hop: New York in her early ’20s and launching her successful music career, Cardi worked as a stripper when she was in her late teen years.

“I felt like nobody could shame me for being a stripper,” she previously said, per Interview Magazine. “I felt on top of the world. I felt so untouchable and so sexy, because there were rappers that all these girls lust over who would come to the strip club and request me to go to their section. They would request me. If I’m so trash, why are these guys requesting me? I’m getting paid for my looks. Nobody’s going to spend money on you if you’re ugly.”

Elsewhere during her visit to The Clubhouse on WWHL, she admitted that she was “disappointed” over Cohen’s height (she thought he was “taller”), that she owns more than 30 Birkin bags and that she “felt cool” when Tiger King star Carole Baskin bashed her for using big cats in her “WAP” music video.

The star — who recently came under fire for throwing her microphone at a concertgoer after they threw a cup of liquid at her — even poked fun at the controversy while delivering her original Housewife tagline.

“The only thing I throw harder than mics, is shade,” she said, to which Cohen replied, “Well done. Open invitation. You pick the franchise and you’re in.”
