The rapper spoke with New Music Daily on Apple Music about her decision to cast these specific strong female celebrities in her video. 

"I wanted a lot of different females, not just female rappers. I wanted ... a lot of different people," she explained. "And I'm like, 'These are the girls that I personally like. That I like they music. That I really feel they are going to go mainstream, to me.' All the girls right here, there's different things that I like about them. That's why I said about variety."  

Additionally, Cardi revealed the inspiration behind her video, explaining how she wanted to show women supporting other women. 

"I feel like people be wanting to put female artists against each other. ... You know what I'm saying?" she told New Music Daily.

She continued, "Every single time I feel like there's a female artist that's coming up ... I always see like little slick comments like, 'Oh, they taking over your spot. They taking over this. They taking over that.' And it just makes me feel like, damn, why it had to be like that? Because I actually like shorty music a lot. Why does it even have to be like that?"  

The artist added, "I feel like there should be variety. You know what I'm saying? Because people need somebody to relate to or to gravitate to more. But people be trying to make that beef."
