Madison further added, “The first time I saw my face all over the internet I was excited,” Madison continued. “I couldn’t believe it. Here I am in this small town. A housewife. But I’m a mayor… But I’m compared to Cardi B—a rapper, that’s famous, that’s rich. It’s cool! You know? That’s really.. it’s cool!" During the interview, Madison had only good things to say about Cardi as she said, “If I was going to say anything to Cardi B, I would tell her, ‘You gonna look good in 40 years!'” OK. So we’re totally obsessed with her woman. Her laugh is adorable and she’s so sweet!"

Looks aren't the only things that they have in common. Their past is also quite in sync as they both rose to fame from nothing. Speaking about her own challenges, Madison stated, “I’ve had a little adversity, you know, and that comes with the territory. Men don’t like the fact of a woman being over then, the domination.” It sure would be nice to see the two of them under one roof someday!
