“Part of growing up and maturing is taking responsibility for your actions,” Cardi B said in a statement. “As a mother, it’s a practice I try to instill in my children, but the example starts with me. I’ve made some bad decisions in the past that I’m not afraid to face and be content with. These moments I don’t define me and they don’t reflect who I am now. I can’t wait to get through this situation with my family and friends and get back to what I love most — my music and my fans.”
