Her words, “I will never forget how I went to shoot for this magazine and the photographer, he was trying to get close to me like, ‘Yeah, you want to get in this magazine?’ Then he pulled his d**k out! I was so f**king mad,”

“I was just like, ‘This is crazy.’”

I was like, ‘[You’re] f**king bugging. You know what? I’m out,’”

“You know what’s so crazy? I told the magazine owner and he just looked at me like, ‘So? And?’”

Wow.

Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar was born on October 11, 1992, in Washington Heights, Manhattan. She is the daughter of a Dominican father and Trinidadian and Spanish mother. She was raised in the Highbridge neighborhood of the South Bronx, and spent much time at her paternal grandmother’s home in Washington Heights, which she credits with giving her “such a thick […] accent.” Almánzar developed the stage name “Cardi B” as a derivation of Bacardi, a rum brand that was formerly her nickname. Cardi B has said she was a gang member of the Bloods in her youth, since the age of 16. However, she has stated ever since that she would not encourage joining a gang.

Cardi B has said that becoming a stripper was positive for her life in many ways: “It really saved me from a lot of things. When I started stripping I went back to school.” She has explained that she become a stripper in order to escape poverty and domestic violence, having been in an abusive relationship at the time, and that stripping was her only way to earn enough money to escape her dire situation and get an education. She attended Borough of Manhattan Community College before eventually dropping out. While stripping, Cardi B lied to her mother by telling her she was making money babysitting.
