She was the reason I got 10,000 followers because I was blogging about her and her boyfriend at the time. HB: Who was the first celebrity to show you love?Īngie: I wasn’t even blogging about celebs you would see on TV. We’re trying to bring the traffic to other platforms. If we can bring that to the website, we’ll be comparable to TMZ. Our Facebook page reach, every week, is about 65 million and engagement is about 14 million. The social media platforms bring in more traffic than the actual website. That’s when I recognized how big the brand was at the point. When we put up the Instagram again, within 3 months we had surpassed 500,000. I was like ‘OMG,’ we cannot start over, this is going to be terrible. HB: When did you know you had something big?Īngie: When we got our account deleted. I’m a person who is testing the waters trying to see beyond herself and grow into this business woman who I never thought I could be. I never saw myself being successful or having a business. I was in foster care for the majority of my life. I felt really blessed by that so I kept on. That day, I decided to open a Big Cartel store selling advertisements. That day I asked God to help me find a way to make money off of this is. I had used up my savings and was negative $400 in my account. After the first week of blogging, I had 10,000 followers.Īngie: Between March and July, I wasn’t making any type of money at all. The first day blogging, I got around 200 followers. So I was just like let me start off of the social media pages. I didn’t know where to begin because I don’t know the industry like that. I knew I wanted to write and I decided in January of 2014, I would quit my job in accounting and pursue writing full-time. I went to LMU and graduated in 2012, thinking, ‘What am I going to do?’ I don’t want to be a lawyer, I don’t want to be an accountant, which is what I went to school for. I wrote poetry and I was into screenwriting. Glad we found a way to move forward peacefully.HelloBeautiful: Break down how you started The Shade Room.Īngie: I was always a writer. Cardi, we wish you the best and continued success. We’re putting the issue to rest and moving on. Just spoke to we were able to come to a resolution. Spokespeople for Cardi and TSR had not returned requests for additional comment at press time. What happened earlier was bad, but how it ended is good.” Glad we found a way to move forward peacefully. “We’re putting the issue to rest and moving on. “ Just spoke to we were able to come to a resolution,” read the tweet. The Shade Room also reportedly denied muting Cardi’s Instagram comments while claiming she had actually asked them to post items about her family during a recent phone call, eliciting another back-and-forth in which each side accused the other of duplicity.Įarly Monday morning (July 11), however, The Shade Room tweeted that things had apparently been resolved after a conversation with Cardi. We could’ve had this conversation on DM, but clearly you guys are ignoring me so now we have to I guess do it like this.” I’m a person as well and I’m trying to protect my best, my mental health. “You guys clearly know what you’re doing if you wasn’t, you wouldn’t have muted me. I’m not a crazy person, I’m not this ghetto person, I’m not this person that’s trying to make narratives about me,” she said. And if you guys are not doing shady s–t on purpose, why mute me from commenting? Then you guys post certain things positive about me so y’all can continuously post negative things about me that you don’t do to other artists.”Īfter offering up what she said was another example of the site’s alleged double standard, Cardi got personal.
That’s why when I comment, nobody can see my comment and I actually have screenshots of it, and that’s why I posted it. “Clearly, you guys have me muted from commenting on your page. “I DM’d you guys but, of course, you guys ignore me, and that’s why I had to take it publicly,” she said.

Unsatisfied with the response, Cardi then reportedly dug in, claiming in a series of video messages that the outlet has done some “shady s–t” in the past and asking them to “take it easy” on her in the future. “Is this the ‘only negative’ content you are referring to?”
“Whats the phone number of the lawyer you used in your defamation case because we tryna see something,” the site wrote in reference to Cardi’s recent $4 million court judgement over blogger Tasha K.
