ButCardi Bwasn’t always the powerful celeb that she is now.
But Cardi B didn’t let the world knock her down.
Instead, she managed to take it over.
Read on to learn all about the stunning transformation of Cardi B, from rags to riches.
Additionally, Cardi B described herself as “a very fragile child,” according toGQ.
The main reason Cardi B was so vulnerable was because of her health.
“People used to tell my mom, ‘She’s not going to make it.'”
she continued, showing just how dire the condition was.
Fortunately for all of us, Cardi B is still here, and she’s stronger than ever.
Unfortunately for Cardi B, she stood out in her new school, and that attracted attention to her.
“I was getting picked on for the way I dressed,” she continued.
“I got jumped in the sixth grade real bad and after that, it changed me.
It really, really did change me.”
That’s nothing that any child should ever have to go through.
But she wouldn’t advise doing the same because of one simple reason: it’s not profitable.
“That’s why I don’t talk about it much,” she revealed in an interview withGQmagazine.
That explains why she’s not more vocal about that aspect of her life.
She’s 100 percent sincere about that reasoning, too.
“It’s not about violence,” she continued.
“It’s just like it doesn’t make you money.”
it’s possible for you to’t argue with that logic!
That doesn’t mean Cardi B treats her gang affiliation with contempt, though.
Rather, she actually says she took some positive things away from her time as an active gang member.
There, she took courses in French, Western Civilization, and political science.
Clearly, then, it was high time to find a more lucrative endeavor.
“He was like, ‘You’re so pretty, you got a nice body.’
“It really saved me from a lot of things,” she confessed in an interview withVlad TV.
To that end, she made some body modifications to stay fiscally viable.
And she’s candid on how that shape came to be, and absolutely happy to flaunt it.
she asked in an interview withVibemagazine.
“It was the craziest pain ever,” she revealed in an interview withGQ.
“I felt like I was gonna pass out.”
As for her bust, she got that taken care of in the Dominican Republic.
“It’s like, why would y’all doubt me?
Like, I have seven hundred thousand bajillion followers,” she shared in an interview withFader.
“I’m telling them like, ‘Yo, I have a brand.
I’m not even [an] artist and I fill out clubs.'”
Obviously the rest was history, and Cardi B continued her ascent to superstar status.
The song reached No.
She alsoknocked Taylor Swift outof the top spot talk about dropping a bomb right out of the gate!
At the time, Cardi B didn’t realize the significance of the song’s success.
That explains why her smile is perfectly straight and perfectly white in the video.
Take that, haters!
After the video was released, Dr. Catrise Austin’s business skyrocketed, according to a videoTMZposted in 2017.
This is so wonderfully wholesome!
“Anything a man can do, I can do.
I can finesse, I can hustle.
We have the same freedom.”
She amended that one day later in another now-deletedpost, and all was well again.
But by early 2019, the couple appeared to be together again, according toPeoplemagazine.
Congrats, Cardi and Offset, on your bundle of joy!
“After a week of only saying papa!
Happy 7 months Kulture!
We love you,” she wrote in the caption.
Having a child has tempered Cardi B, who says that becoming a mom has changed her priorities.
“Before, I cared about everything relationship, gossip.
“I don’t care about anything anymore just my career and my kid.”
Nothing wrong with that, Cardi.
Plus, it’s not lost on her that she knows it can make some more conservative people uncomfortable.
So whether it’s music, fashion, or sports, Cardi B knows the world is watching.
“People like Donald Trump, they’re always going to make us feel like we’re less.
I know the truth.”
And even though she was visibly nervous on stage, she accepted the award humbly and authentically.
