J.R. and Cardi B Pair Up in “Gimme Head Too” Video

J.R. and Cardi B are very blunt in their new music video. The St. Louis rapper and Love & Hip Hop: New York star reunite to drop some visuals for their candid collaboration "Gimme Head Too."

The song and video are proof that Cardi B has no intentions of fading away. The Bronx native spoke to XXL earlier this year about the positive reception to her new career as a rapper.

"I was surprised. I was a little bit scared because you know, like, being a rapper has always been my dream so if nobody liked it, that would mean my dream is destroyed," Cardi said. "And then there’s a lot of things for example, like, I was a little nervous because I know a lot of artists that come from Love & Hip Hop or any reality show, it’s hard for people to take them serious as an artist. I didn’t really want to put my music out there on [the show] even though they asked me a lot of times because when it comes to things like this, I plan it out."

Like many celebrities, Cardi B can get bogged down in the hate she receives online. But the rapper told XXL the fans motivate her to keep going.

"Sometimes it gets hard for me to ignore it until I go to an event that I host and I be like, 'Damn, I can’t really give up when I got all these people telling me that I make them feel good!" she said. "Some girl told me that because of me, she smiles. She’s like, 'My teeth are crooked, but now I smile in my pictures because I don’t give a fuck."
