Bio, Ethnicity
Cardi B was born on October 11, 1992, as Belcalis Almanzar in The Bronx, New York. She was raised in the Highbridge neighbourhood South Bronx by her parents and is of Trinidadian Mestizo and Dominican descent. Cardi B attended Renaissance High School for Musical Theatre and Technology located on the Herbert H. Lehman campus. She took French and History courses at the Borough of Manhattan Community College but didn’t finish as she dropped out from the college.
As a teenager, Cardi became the member of a street gang known as ‘Bloods’. Her first ever job was at a supermarket in Manhattan and her weekly income could not take care of her necessities as a nineteen-year-old. Thrown out of the house and living at a place where the money she had was constantly stolen from her, Cardi decided to look for a better way to survive the hardship and her abusive relationship. Her manager at the supermarket introduced her to a friend in charge of club strippers and although she was initially iffy about it, she eventually gave in because of the pay and realised it wasn’t as bad as she thought after all. Cardi B began living comfortably and could afford her rent, bills and general upkeep.
In 2013 she became popular with her short Instagram and Vine clips going viral. Her videos were mainly about her perspective on relationship and survival. Stripping continued to pay well and her plan was to retire when she becomes 25. Luckily for her, she signed a record deal in 2015 at the age of 23 and launched her first ever music video titled Cheap Ass Weave in December of the same year. With that, she retired from stripping immediately. Cardi B has since then, gone on to feature in big shows which include The Wendy Williams Show.

Cardi has a sister, Hennessey Carolina. Her name, which is the same for the popular 1765 French cognac, was given to her at birth because that was the drink her father had before she was born. Hennessey is an aspiring fashion designer and stylist and shares a strong bond with her sister, Cardi B. She comes up strong and ready to protect her from anybody hating on her; in person or on social media and Hennessy shows no mercy. Cardi B changed her name from ‘Belcarlis’ because people called her ‘Bacardi’, the name of a rum, which was a way of likening her name to her sister’s and because she didn’t like it, she decided to turn it around. So her name became ‘Cardi B’, with the alphabet ‘B’ meaning anything depending on her disposition per time. To her, it could mean beautiful today and bully tomorrow.
