Cardi B Bio

Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar was born in Washington Heights, Manhattan, on October 11, 1992. Her father is a Dominican and her mother is a Trinidadian of African and Spanish descent. Almánzar was raised in the Highbridge neighbourhood of the South Bronx, where she spent much time at her paternal grandmother’s home in Washington Heights. Almánzar developed the stage name “Cardi B” as a source of Bacardi, a rum brand that was formerly her nickname. She has a younger sister, Hennessy Carolina, born in 1995.  

Cardi B was working at an Amish deli in Tribeca during her teens. She got fired and became a dancer at a strip club across the street. 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.” According to her, she became a stripper to escape poverty and domestic violence. That is, being in an abusive relationship at the time after being kicked out of her mother’s house, and that stripping was her only way to earn enough money to escape the situation and get an education. She attended Borough of Manhattan Community College before eventually dropping out. While stripping, she lied to her mother that, she was making money by babysitting. In 2013, she began to gain publicity due to several of her videos spreading on social media, on Vine and her Instagram page. 

Her honors include a Grammy Award, eight Billboard Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, six American Music Awards, 14 BET Hip Hop Awards, and two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year awards. In 2018, Time magazine included her on its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and in 2020, Billboard honored her as Woman of the Year. Outside of music, she became the creative director of entertainment magazine Playboy in 2022.
