Love Struggle

This season of Cardi’s love struggle plays out with DJ Self (a.k.a The Prince of New York). Cardi is cheating on her man in jail with Self who has a girl (not in jail). It’s complicated.

Pole Glory

Cardi has worked as a stripper for the last five years, and she’s ready to “expand her brand with her new eyeshadow line,” according to her VH1 bio.

Claim To Fame

Cardi B’s outspoken and candidly hilarious rants made her a star on social media. To date, Cardi has 1.4 million followers on Instagram, and around 80,000 on Twitter and Facebook.

Body Party

For what it’s worth, Cardi is pretty honest about her body. Her boobs and backside have been surgically enhanced, though she regrets the butt job.

Head Turner

Cardi has apparently caught Empire creator Lee Daniels’ eye, which means she could join in the revolving door of guest stars.
