Cardi B‘s spicy personality gave the chicken wings a run for their money on the most recent episode of Hot Ones. While appearing on the hit YouTube series, the iconic rapper dished on aliens, “annoying” radio censorship, and her surprising obsession with Franklin D. Roosevelt.

At the beginning of her interview with host Sean Evans, Cardi shut down any speculation that there are aliens outside of this planet. According to her, they would have invaded by now if they actually existed.

“If aliens are real and they’re smarter than us, I just feel like, why haven’t they invaded us?'” Cardi wondered. “Aliens, if they’re smart, they know how humans are. Humans are despicable! They want to take over everything.”

She continued, “People are like, ‘Why would aliens want to invade Earth? Earth is ghetto. They’re probably so advanced they think the earth is like a small fry,’ and it’s not about that. It’s the art of war.”

Speaking of war, the star admitted to being “obsessed” with it —  specifically World War I and World War II.

“I don’t know why but I’m obsessed with war,” she said. “I’m obsessed with WWII. I love WWI, I love reading about that, but WWII — I’m obsessed with just learning everything about it.”

The unexpected conversation began when Evans asked Cardi about the time she took David Letterman to get a chopped cheese sandwich — a part of the day she said she “didn’t even care about.” However, what caught her attention during her time with Letterman was visiting Roosevelt’s house.

“I love FDR. And I love Eleanor Roosevelt. He got us through the Great Depression, a war, only president that got elected four times while he was in a wheelchair,” she explained. “I saw the room where Churchill and FDR was talking about the nuke. That’s crazy to me.”

As for her own music, Cardi opened up about her gripes with radio censorship, noting that she recently had to re-record a line in her new single “Bongos.” While the lyric was originally, “Eat this ass like a plum,” she was forced to rewrite it as, “Baby, eat these peaches and plums,” for the radio version.

“I was so over it. Like, I cannot say that. It’s so corny. Like, that sounds like a Kidz Bop, whatever,” she said, before cheekily adding, “But I had no choice, so baby, eat these peaches and plums!”
