As a teenager, she was a member of the Bloods street gang, and has previously stated she’d been a gang-banger since the age of 16. She attended Renaissance High School For Musical Theater & Technology, and briefly worked at an Amish supermarket, before she turned to stripping at 19 years old.

Favorite Quotes from Cardi B

“No I don’t except your apology unless you buy me a bag.” – Cardi B

“I find it so ridiculous that if you make $10 an hour you are not allowed to get welfare. Look at New York, our rent is so expensive. To live in a bum a** apartment, a one bedroom in the Bronx, it’s like $1,000. I feel like I would raise wages higher.” – Cardi B

“Don’t expect me to cook. I’m tired. I’m as tired as you.” – Cardi B

“But one day she can be like, ‘Guess what? My daughter owns this. So what if my daughter was a stripper? She owns a business. She owns a house. Look at the s**t she’s driving.’ That’s what I want her to say. ‘Look what my daughter bought me? What the f*** did your daughter buy you? Nothing.’” – Cardi B

“If a girl have beef with me, she gon’ have beef with me forever.” – Cardi B

10 Lessons for Success from Cardi B

1. Hustle for your dreams

In her interview, Cardi B states that everybody’s telling you to follow your dreams, but they don’t mention how tough it is, and how much hustle it requires to achieve them. You will have to fight hard for your dreams.

2. Prove people wrong

Not only do you get a rush from proving other people wrong, but you also inspire others that it can be done. In fact many of the people you prove wrong, might just change their minds, and be inspired to work harder on their own goals.

3. Network

Much like Travis Scott stated in one of his interviews, connecting with the right people is crucial for success. You need to surround yourself with people who will elevate you, and help you get to the next level of your career and life.

4. Put in the extra work

It’s that extra 1% a day that results in the success. Ever heard of the technique called compounding? It’s where you set a target to improve by just 1% each day, and eventually all those 1% increases add up to a lot of growth.

5. Grow

Grow as an individual, grow as a business, grow your skills and your level of discipline. Just keep growing. Why wouldn’t you want to grow?

6. Play your cards right

Cardi B explains how she played her cards right in order to get into hip hop at the right time and become a hit success. She already had a million followers on her social media before hip hop, and was offered a reality TV series, but she turned it down. Cardi turned the opportunity down because she thought it might ruin her chances at hip hop.

7. Work with people that believe in you

Cardi B works with people and artists who believe in her work, and really want to get involved with her work. People who want money to be featured on her songs don’t sit well with Cardi.

8. Learn how to deal with haters

I always like this lesson, because it’s true in almost every case of someone trying to go against the grain. If you’re trying to do something that’s big, risky or rare to be achieve, people won’t always support you, and those people might even be your family. That’s why Cardi B says you need to learn how to deal with your haters.

9. Be tasteful

Be tasteful with the way you deliver things, and Cardi B references to bloggers who often completely destroy rappers or celebrities in their articles, instead writing the content on somebody in a tasteful way.

10. Have fun

Have fun! At the end of the day, that’s the most important thing. You don’t want to be doing a job everyday that you hate, do you?

Summary

Cardi B is an up and coming hip hop artist; and in 2019, Cardi B’s net worth is estimated to be $8 million. This figure is 400% higher than 2016, and guaranteed to increase this year.
