Feliz Cumple, Cardi B! The rapper of Dominican and Trinidadian descent was born on this day in 1992 in The Bronx, New York. The Grammy-winning  rapper first gained attention as a social media personality and through her appearance in VH1's reality show “Love & Hip Hop: New York”. Born Belcalis Almanzar, she released her No. 1 single "Bodak Yellow" in 2017 and in 2019, took home a Grammy for her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy”. Since then, she has continued to make waves in the music industry with hits like “I Like It”, “WAP” and “Punteria”.⁠
⁠
She previously spoke with Complex about how people often assume she's Mexican cause she speaks Spanish and her Blackness is denied because she's Caribbean.⁠
⁠
"People just don't be understanding sh*t. It's like, 'Cardi's Latin, she's not Black.' And it's like, 'Bro, my features don't come from...white people f*cking, OK?' And they always wanna race-bait when it comes to me...I have Afro features," she continued. "'Oh, but your parents are light-skinned'—alright, but my grandparents aren't."⁠
