The female rapper hopped on Instagram live to discuss the matter. While she would love to offer dembow later, the decision to first serve a Latin take on trap was strategic.

“I know that when dembow goes mainstream, it’s going to change everything,” Cardi continued, arguing that the decision not to make a dembow was strategic since the genre

is less visible in the mainstream Spanish-language music industry. “It’s like, ‘Ok, let’s play the game they play and make reggaeton/trap and then we’ll hit them with dembow.’ I knew that people wanted a dembow with me and El Alfa. But [we decided to make] a song that’d take off and then when people find out, that’s when we’ll give them a dembow,” she said in Spanish.

Ultimately, she is rooting for her fellow Latino artists and their unique sounds.

“Next year, I want Dominican rappers nominated at the Billboards.

them to be nominated at the Latin Grammys. I want them to be nominated at Premios Lo Nuestro. I don’t understand why we’re not there. We work hard. Our music is amazing…I just want my people to push forward…I want us to get to the top.”
