She began making appearances on the VH1 reality series Love & Hip Hop: New York in 2015 and departed the program in 2017 to focus solely on music. Through Atlantic Records, she released “Bodak Yellow,” which went to No. 1 that year. In 2019, she received a Grammy for her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. In September 2017, she and Offset, a member of the Migos, secretly wed.
Parents and the Early Years
Cardi B was born on October 11, 1992, and reared in The Bronx, New York. She also spent a significant amount of time with her grandma in the nearby neighborhood of Washington Heights. She is of mixed Caribbean ancestry; her father is Dominican and her mother is Trinidadian.
She attend Renaissance High School For Musical Theater & Technology while in her adolescence and was a member of the Bloods gang. She made the choice to become a stripper in order to escape hardship and an abusive partner, and she has openly expressed her pride in her choice.
“I was truly saved from a number of issues by it. I resumed my studies once I began stripping “She spoke.
Cardi B finally dropped out of school but she was able to discover her own path to success by first dominating social media (via Instagram and Vine), then a reality show (Love & Hip Hop: New York), and then becoming a major player in the music business.
In an Instagram Live video that went viral in March 2019, Cardi B confessed to drugging and robbing men while working as a stripper. A few days later, she addressed the subject on social media, but she refrained from offering an apology, adding, “I did whatever I had to do to survive.”
Cardi B Albums & Songs
Cardi B debuted her musical talent on Jamaican singer Shaggy’s remixed hit “Boom Boom” in the fall of 2015. Her debut mixtape Gangsta B*tch Music, Vol. 1 was published in March 2017, and in September of that same year, she worked with other hip-hop artists to create the KSR Group compilation Underestimated: The Album, which featured her tune “What a Girl Likes.”
2017 held out the possibility of even greater opportunities. The rapper signed her first significant record deal with Atlantic Records in February and launched her second mixtape, Gangsta B*tch Music, Vol.
Cardi B, who has been keeping busy touring, was recognized as a rising talent and was nominated for Best New Artist and Best Female Hip-Hop Artist at the 2017 BET Awards.
“Bodak Yellow,” Cardi B’s commercial breakthrough single, which was released in August 2017, quickly gained popularity. It finally peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and achieved triple platinum status. When “Bodak Yellow” reached the top spot, it created rap history because Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998 was the last female solo rapper to do so.
Cardi B furthered her breakthrough that year by working with G-Eazy on “No Limit,” Migos on “MotorSport,” and Puerto Rican superstar Ozuna on “La Modelo,” in addition to releasing her second single, “Bartier Cardi,” in December.
Cardi B got 2 Grammy nominations in 2017—one each for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song—in addition to her BET Award nominations. She also performed her duet with Bruno Mars, “Finesse,” on the January 2018 performance. She received eight nominations for the 2018 Billboard Music Awards a few months later, and she eventually won the Top Rap Female Artist category.
Cardi B released her eagerly anticipated first album, Invasion of Privacy, on April 6, 2018. The album featured collaborations with Migos and 21 Savage in addition to songs that fans were previously familiar with. Due to the earlier success of “Bodak Yellow,” Invasion of Privacy was already eligible for a Gold certification at the time of its release. However, within a few days of its release, it had already surpassed Taylor Swift’s previous record for the most streams by a female artist in an album’s first week.
Cardi B experienced another historic milestone in July when “I Like It” from Invasion of Privacy reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first female rapper to accomplish this feat twice.
Cardi launched her second joint project with Mars in February 2019 called “Please Me,” and she made history by being the first solo woman to win the Grammy for Best Rap Album for Invasion of Privacy. Cardi won Album of the Year accolades at the BET Awards in June, just after the launch of another hit, “Press.”
In Hustlers, which came out in September of that year, the musician made her acting debut as a stripper named Diamond opposite Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu.
The Stage name
Cardi B confessed that the alcoholic beverage Bacardi is where she got her name. “Everyone used to be like Bacardi to me because my sister’s name is Hennessy, so I abbreviated it to Cardi B, and the ‘B’ stands for whatever… depending on the day,” she explained.
Arrest and Accusation
Cardi B turned herself in to the New York City police on October 1 in connection with a brawl that took place in a strip club in Queens, New York, in August 2018, during which she is said to have given orders for her crew to attack two bartenders. The rapper was detained and accused of assault and reckless endangerment, two misdemeanors.
A grand jury charged Cardi in June 2019 on two counts of felony assault charge, six misdemeanors, and six infractions after she rejected a plea agreement.
Later that summer, during the rapper 6ix9ine’s trial, Cardi B was identified as a member of New York City’s 9 Trey Gangster Bloods. Later, Cardi denied having any connections to the group.
