Cardi B said she escaped gang life but still reps the Bloods, and here's why:

"When I was 16 years old, I used to hang out with a lot of Bloods. I used to pop off with my homies. And they'd say, 'Yo, you really get it poppin'. You should come home. You should turn Blood.' And I did. Yes, I did," she told GQ, But at the end of the day, Cardi B had bigger plans. "Sometimes it's almost like a fraternity, a sorority ... Sometimes you gotta do certain things to get higher, to get higher and higher. You're doing all of that and you not making money off of it. That's why I don't talk about it much. Because I wouldn't want a young person, a young girl, to think it's okay to join it."

Cardi is focused on her "shmoney," and gang life just wasn't going to get her the kind of bankroll she wanted. "You could talk to somebody that is considered Big Homie and they will tell you: 'Don't join a gang.' The person that I'm under, she would tell you, 'Don't join a gang.' It's not about violence. It's just like — it doesn't make your money."

Why does she maintain any affiliation? "I rep it, because I been repping it for such a long time," she said.
