Cardi B won’t be taken down, says ‘Love & Hip Hop’ creator

Just as she’s becoming one of the top performers in the country, Cardi B is facing a barrage of lawsuits and social-media drama. But Mona Scott-Young — producer of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop,” which helped launch the rapper’s career — says Cardi won’t be slowed down by her detractors.

“Let the haters hate — I know Cardi has withstood a lot, but I’m sure that it’s not going to take her down,” Scott-Young told Page Six.

Cardi is being sued by a former manager, as well as an autograph hunter who alleges the rapper and her fiancé, Offset, told their security muscle to beat him up.

Meanwhile, Cardi, who is due to give birth to her first child, dramatically quit (then rejoined) social media.

Scott-Young told us, “She is taking some much needed time off … She is having a baby and we tend to think that we are superwoman and we can do everything and scale mountains all while bringing life in the world. So I commend her on unplugging and taking the time off. If that’s what she thinks she needs in order to make sure she is healthy so that she does the most important job, which is creating life.”
