She pointed out that many celebrities have built successful businesses after becoming famous, and she stated that she believes this is the ideal moment for her to follow suit. She said:“I don’t know if it was like the divorce or I don’t know if something just woke me up. And I feel like I’m definitely a new person […] Like a lot of artists or like celebrities that have really big major businesses that are successful, they didn’t build their brand in their second or third year of being big celebrities. They build their brand when they’re 7 to 10 years in the business. And I feel like right now is the perfect time.”Cardi B addresses comparisons to Beyoncé's CécredOnline parallels between Grow Good Beauty and other companies, such as Beyoncé's Cécred, immediately emerged as celebrity-backed haircare lines gained popularity.

Is it because of my accent? But it’s like the best thing ever. It’s a superpower.” She added:“When I want to learn something, I study it all night, all day. When I want it, I have to have it. And I will learn it. I’ll study it. I study who’s great at it. And I just think that I think this is why I’m so successful.”Cardi B stressed that her motivation goes beyond financial gains. Although she acknowledged the benefits of wealth, she said that at this point in her life, respect is more important to her.
