While Beyoncéeffectively shut down Coachella with her epic history-making performance at the music festival, Hip-Hop’s woman artist of the moment Cardi B also came through to show and prove. Although she’s sporting a healthy baby bump, that didn’t stop the Bronx starlet from going back to her stripper days and dropping it low which had the Internet going nuts.
