Early Life

Cardi was raised in the South Bronx. Her father is Dominican, and her mother is Trinidadian. She spent much time at her paternal grandmother’s home in Washington Heights. Her nickname “Cardi B” was developed from Bacardi, which is a rum brand.

When she was a teenager, she used to be a member of the Blood street gang. She also stated she had been a gang-banger since she was 16 years old. Cardi attended Renaissance High School For Musical Theater&Technology. She also briefly worked at an Amish supermarket. Then, she started stripping when she was 19 years old.

She said that becoming a stripper was a positive experience. That was her way of escaping poverty and domestic violence since she was kicked out of her mother’s home. That also enabled her to pay for her education.
