Songfacts®:

  • This song finds Cardi B taunting her haters as she boasts about her wealth and success.

    Platinum plaques hang on every wall in my palace
    Clips still push, to anybody speakin' malice
    Fashion icon, couple million for my stylist
    Five number ones, you got five number nones

He posted a video that shows him leaping into his swimming pool in celebration.
