Cardi also talked about gun control laws, saying that she feels they should be tightened and involve a mental health evaluation. Still, the rapper supports the right to bear arms, she said.

\"God forbid, the government tries to take us over, and we can't defend ourselves because we don't have no weapons,\" the \"Be Careful\" rapper said. \"How do you think American colonizers went to Africa and it was so easy for them to get those people? Because they had guns. No matter what weapon you have, you can't beat a gun.\"

\"They have weapons like nuclear bombs that we don't have,\" she continued. \"So imagine us not having any weapons at all.\"

Although she may be consumed by current events, Cardi is still in the midst of planning her baby shower. By the time she spoke to the magazine, however, she still hadn't sent out invitations but she did have an idea of what type of celebration she wanted for her first child with fiancé, Offset, of Migos fame.

Cardi famously announced she was expecting back in April during her performance on \"Saturday Night Live\" where she wore a tight white dress, showing off her baby bump.

\"My baby shower's not starting at no 5:00,\" the Dominican and Trinidadian rapper said in the magazine. \"My s--- is going to start at 9 p.m. because that's how I celebrate, that's how Caribbean people celebrate.\"

\"I don't like baby showers that be at 5 p.m. in the backyard, eating, cooking hors d'oeuvres. Nah,\" she added. \"S---, I might even drink some red wine. Red wine's healthy, right?\"
