Who is Cardi B?
Cardi B is a renowned American rapper and songwriter, one of the most successful female artists in contemporary music. Her fame spread abroad after her club stripping videos went online, particularly on Instagram and Vine. She not only shared the stripping videos on social media, but she also got featured on several podcasts where she justified why she started stripping. Those controversial videos and interviews brought her to the limelight even before she started considering a full-time music career.
In 2017, she quit all her Reality Show engagements to focus on her music career and eventually released her No. 1 single, “Bodak Yellow,” through Atlantic Records. Her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy,” helped her win a Grammy Award in 2019, and she has been making waves in the industry ever since.
Cardi B’s Early Life
Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, known as Cardi B, is a seasoned American rapper and songwriter born in Washington Heights, New York, United States, on October 11, 1992. She grew up in the Latin neighbourhood Highbridge in the South Bronx with her father, Carlos Alman, a Dominican and her mother, Clara Almánzar, a Trinidadian of African and Spanish descent.
She spent most of her childhood days living with her paternal grandmother in Washington Heights. She enrolled in Renaissance High School for Musical Theater & Technology, a vocational high school on the Herbert H. Lehman High School campus, but later dropped out due to financial instability. She started working at a grocery store in Tribeca to raise money and go back to school but was fired later on. Subsequently, she became a club stripper, which she later revealed that she resorted to in order to abscond from poverty as well as domestic violence. She was also able to raise money through that and return to school while lying to her mother that she was making money from a babysitting job. Cardi B also revealed in one of her interviews that she joined a gang group called the “Blood” when she was 16; as though she regretted her actions, she encouraged people to desist from the act.

She won a Grammy Award with the album and became the only female to win the award as a solo artist, as well as the first female rap artist to hold the “Album of the Year” nomination for over 15 years uninterruptedly.
