Cardi B Came To Lagos! Here’s What The Grammy Award Winner Taught Me!

I’ve always been a massive fan of Cardi B!

I first encountered her on her stint with reality TV and I used to wonder how one human being could be so wrong, yet so right.

She was honest and down-to-earth yet so many things she did were socially unacceptable but she really didn’t care. She was unapologetically herself! She still is. A skill I’m still trying to learn, years later!

Fast forward to 2019 and I get this brief for Livespot X Festival featuring Cardi B and I’m thinking to myself … “you mean we’re actually going to meet the Queen of The Bronx?”

Well, she landed in Lagos and fell in love with the city but what she doesn’t know is that I took home a few lessons!

For those of us working in MarComms or building a brand, you might want to take a few notes too!

Here they are:

• They might underestimate you. Always prove them wrong.
• Pay attention to details. Anything worth doing is worth doing well!

• Everything you do is an opportunity to make a point. What are you doing with your opportunities?
• Your brand and reputation are important! Guard them with your life!
