After the show, Cardi B had an interview to share her experience with rhythmic gymnastics. And since the episode was about gymnastics, the interview would not have been complete without the mention of GOAT Simone Biles. Therefore, the name of the seven-time Olympic medalist came up during the interview. The interviewer specifically asked if the rap star drew inspiration from the decorated athlete.

Reflecting on Biles’ previous performances, the artist said, “It’s almost like she’s supernatural because she does things that are superhero-like. All those flips and being the best that you can be at your sport.”

She also spoke about when Biles withdrew from multiple events at the Tokyo Olympics, citing mental health concerns.

Expressing her concern for the Olympian at the time, the rap icon added, “And when she quit [and took a break from] the Olympics, I was just like, ‘Oh my goodness! I wonder what’s going on? Maybe she’s sad? Maybe she’s going through things?’ ”

However, Cardi B was aware that, irrespective of people’s high expectations of the athlete, Biles is still human. And as such, she was not immune to the shortcomings of being a human.

Reminding everyone that the athlete is just like any other person, the rap star said, “But I had to remember she’s just that regular girl that I met a couple of years ago. You can be on the top of the world like she is, just literally the top of the world for the first time and you just go through things like a regular person and I love her.”

Cardi B can relate to Biles

Cardi B’s words echo what most celebrities face regularly. People indeed expect great things from their idols. But what they forget is that they are just people like us. And therefore, they, too, are subjected to all the shortcomings that any other person faces.

But sometimes, people fail to grasp this concept. They begin to keep unrealistic expectations from their idols. And it is when this happens that athletes ascend the pedestal to become superpowered beings in the eye of their fans.
