When I started stripping I went back to school."[26][27][28] 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.[29] She attended Borough of Manhattan Community College[30] before eventually dropping out.[31] While stripping, Cardi B lied to her mother by telling her she was making money babysitting.[32]

Artistry
Influences
In Billboard's "You Should Know" series, Cardi B said the first albums she ever purchased were by American entertainers Missy Elliott and Tweet, respectively.[15] She has credited Puerto Rican rapper Ivy Queen[137] and Jamaican dance hall artist Spice[138] as influences as well. Cardi B is inspired by Madonna, to whom she has referred as her "idol".[23] Cardi B has also indicated that other influences include Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Kim. [139] [140] [141]
When asked about the initial direction for her music, Cardi B said in an interview, "When I first started rapping [...] I liked certain songs from Khia and Trina, and they [were] fighting songs. I haven't heard fighting songs for a very long time," crediting the two female rappers for her aggressive rap style. She continued, saying "a lot of girls they cannot afford red bottoms, a lot of girls they cannot afford foreign cars [...] but I know that every girl has beef with a girl [...] I know that every bitch don't like some bitch, and it's like 'that's what I wanna rap about.'"[142][143]
Musical style
Her first studio album, Invasion of Privacy, is primarily a hip hop record, which comprises elements of trap, Latin music, and R&B.[92][144] Consequence of Sound described her flow as "acrobatic and nimble."[145] AllMusic editor David Jeffries called Cardi B "a raw and aggressive rapper in the style of Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown."[9] Stereogum called her voice "a full-bodied New Yawk nasal bleat, the sort of thing that you've heard if someone has ever told you that you stupid for taking too long at swiping your MetroCard." They continued to call her voice "an unabashedly loud and sexual fuck-you New York honk—that translates perfectly to rap."[146] In a 2017 Complex article about her, the editor wrote "unapologetic does not begin to describe the totally unfiltered and sheer Cardi B-ness of Cardi B's personality. She's a hood chick who's not afraid to be hood no matter the setting. Cardi B is Cardi B 24/7, 365, this is why she resonates with people, and that same energy comes out in her music."[147]
Other ventures
In February 2017, she partnered with M.A.C and Rio Uribe's Gypsy Sport for an event for New York Fashion Week.[55] During an April 2017 interview with HotNewHipHop, Cardi B spoke on being rejected by fashion designers.[148] Her April appearance in i-D's "A-Z of Music" video was sponsored by designer Marc Jacobs,[60] and she made the cover of The Fader's July/August 2017 Summer Music issue.[73]

Cardi B identifies as a feminist.[154][155] The New York Times wrote "on Love & Hip Hop: New York some viewers saw her as a hero of female empowerment, as she made pronouncements such as
Ever since I started using guys, I feel so much better about myself. I feel so damn powerful.[156]
When commenting on her rise to stardom The Fader wrote:
One video in particular tipped her popularity over the edge, she says. It was a 13-second clip that doubles as a précis of her ethos: "People be asking me, 'What do you does? Are you a model? Are you, like, a comedian or something?' Nah, I ain't none of that. I'm a hoe. I'm a stripper hoe. I'm about this shmoney."[25][157]
Political statements
Cardi B has been called "unabashedly, directly political"[19] and often uses social media to advocate for causes she believes in, such as gun control.[158] During the 2016 presidential primaries, she warned her fans of Donald Trump's immigration policies and encouraged them to "vote for daddy Bernie [Sanders]."[159][160] At the Grammy Awards in 2018, she appeared in a video along with Hillary Clinton to narrate a portion of Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff's insider's account of Trump's administration, and stated "Why am I even reading this shit? I can't believe this. I can't believe—this is how he really lives his life?"[161] Cardi B endorsed Sanders once again in his second bid for the presidency in the 2020 United States presidential election, while praising U.S. Representative Tim Ryan.[162]
She has praised president Franklin D. Roosevelt as the "real 'Make America Great Again'" for advocating for the Social Security program and the New Deal project in general[163] and has noted her admiration for his wife Eleanor Roosevelt's humanitarianism and advocacy for African-Americans.[164] She said of Franklin D. Roosevelt, "he helped us get over the Depression, all while he was in a wheelchair. Like, this man was suffering from polio at the time of his presidency, and yet all he was worried about was trying to make America great—make America great again for real. He's the real 'Make America Great Again,' because if it wasn't for him, old people wouldn't even get Social Security."[165] Senator Bernie Sanders has praised Cardi B for her "leading role" in calling attention to Social Security.[166] During the 2018–19 United States federal government shutdown she released a video on Instagram, where she noted "our country is a hellhole right now" that quickly went viral.[167]
Controversies
Cardi B caused significant controversy after throwing one of her shoes at, and attempting to physically fight, fellow rapper Nicki Minaj at an after-party hosted by Harper's Bazaar during New York Fashion Week 2018.[168] She later stated that Minaj had previously "liked" comments made by other users on social media, who spoke negatively about Cardi B's abilities to take care of her newly born daughter.[169] Minaj denied the accusations.[170][171]
After the release of "Girls", a collaboration with Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha, and Charli XCX, in May 2018, Cardi B responded to the accusations of the song trivializing and sexualizing LGBT relationships. She stated on Twitter, "We never try [sic] to cause harm or had bad intentions with the song." She then went on to say, "I personally myself [sic] had experiences with other women."[172]
In March 2019, a live-stream from Instagram resurfaced from 2016 featuring Cardi B stating she had drugged and robbed men that willingly came with her to hotel rooms for sex.[173] The video was condemned on social media but she defended her behavior, saying it was necessary at the time for her to survive.[174][175]
Legal issues
On October 1, 2018, Cardi B agreed to meet with investigators at a Queens police station, in connection with an alleged attack she ordered on two bartenders. Cardi B's denied involvement through her attorney.[176] She was charged with two misdemeanors: assault and reckless endangerment.[177] Cardi B appeared in court for her arraignment on December 7, 2018, after she failed to show up for the originally scheduled date due to a scheduling conflict, according to her attorney. She was ordered by the judge to avoid having any contact with the two bartenders. She was released by the judge despite prosecutors requesting bail to be set at $2,500.[178][179] On June 21, 2019, a jury indicted Cardi B on 14 charges, including two counts of felony assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, stemming from the incident.[180][181] She was arraigned on June 25, 2019 and pleaded not guilty on all charges.[182]

Cardi B is Catholic;[185] she has mentioned her "strong relationship" with God in interviews, often saying that she directly communicates with God.[186][187][188][189]
As of early 2017, Cardi B began publicly dating fellow American rapper Offset, of the southern hip hop group Migos.[70] When speaking on her relationship with Offset, Cardi B told The Fader, "It's been a blessing, me meeting him and meeting his friends. I see how hard they work. And that motivated me to work even harder. And I see how good things are going for them and how popping it is to be number one. And I'm like, I want that. A lot of people just see they jewelry and they money, but I don't think a lot of people see how hard they work for that shit every single day."[3] Cardi B and Offset became engaged on October 27, after Offset proposed to Cardi B at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, during the Power 99 Powerhouse concert.[190] On April 7, 2018, Cardi B revealed that she was pregnant with Offset's child on Saturday Night Live.[191] On June 25, 2018, TMZ found a marriage license revealing Cardi B and Offset had secretly married in September 2017 privately in their bedroom. Cardi B later went on to confirm this revelation in a social media post.[192] In July 2018, Cardi B gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Kulture Kiari Cephus.[193] In December 2018 she announced on Instagram that she and Offset had broken up.[194] In February 2019, the couple made a public appearance for the Grammys.[195] They accepted the award for Best Rap Album together.[196]
Cardi B's younger sister, Hennessy Carolina, also has a strong following on social media and has accompanied her to award shows, such as the 2017 Grammy Awards.[197] Cardi B is a fan of fast food; one of her favorites is McDonalds.[32]
In an interview in 2018, Cardi talked about being Afro-Latina and Afro-Caribbean:
We are Caribbean people [...] Some people want to decide if you're black or not, depending on your skin complexion, because they don't understand Caribbean people or our culture. I feel like people need to understand or get a passport and travel. I don't got to tell you that I'm black. I expect you to know it. When my father taught me about Caribbean countries, he told me that these Europeans took over our lands. That's why we all speak different languages [...] Just like everybody else, we came over here the same way. I hate when people try to take my roots from me. Because we know that there's African roots inside of us...[198]

Cardi B received her first two nominations at the 2017 BET Awards.[199] She won five awards at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards and four more awards at 2018 BET Hip Hop Awards.[200][201] She has received seven Grammy Award nominations winning one.[202][79][125] She has won three American Music Awards,[111] three MTV Video Music Awards,[109] an NRJ Music Award,[203] four iHeartRadio Music Awards,[204] four BET Awards,[205][206] and seven Billboard Music Award.[207] She has earned two Guinness World Records: Most simultaneous Billboard US Hot 100 entries by a female and Most simultaneous Billboard US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Top 10 entries by a female.[208]
