Life
Almanzar was born in 1992 in the Bronx, New York, the daughter of a Trinidadian mother and a Dominican father. She grew up in Highbridge, a neighborhood in the Bronx. As a teenager, she worked in a supermarket in Lower Manhattan, which was her last job before she started working as a stripper. She says she started stripping to escape poverty and it had a positive effect on her. In 2013, she began to gain attention through her viral videos, which she posted on Instagram and Vine. Almanzar derived the stage name “Cardi B” from the rum brand Bacardi. Her friends called her “Bacardi,” but after her Instagram accounts were deleted under that name, Cardi B was born.
