Cardi B Celebrates Her 32nd Birthday

Cardi B celebrated her 32nd birthday on October 11 in style, throwing an extravagant, Sex in the City-themed bash in New York City. The event was a star-studded affair, featuring her sister, Hennessy Carolina Almánza, and a close entourage of friends, all indulging in the party spirit.

The Daring Birthday Outfit

The rapper turned heads not only with her electrifying dance moves fueled by Henny but also for her attention-grabbing outfit. In a candid Instagram post, Cardi provided fans with a behind-the-scenes look at her bold fashion choice, saying, "So let me tell ya about my little thotty dress... The dress I was gonna wear for my birthday was a little too small and there wasn’t enough fabric... So, I got my ass in a truck and went to Staten Dolls gentlemen’s club where I worked for four years and bought this little dress because nothing was gonna stop this night."

Revealing Her Past as a Stripper

In a surprising twist, Cardi revealed her past as a stripper, sharing her former stage name, "Camilla." She expressed her gratitude for how the club still treated her, saying, "I love the fact that they don’t see me like CARDI B... they still treat me like CAMILLA." This nostalgia for her past success was a heartfelt moment for those familiar with her journey from a struggling performer to a Grammy-winning artist.

Addressing Controversial Past Actions

Cardi B has never shied away from discussing the controversial aspects of her life. In past interviews, she has openly talked about her past experiences as a stripper, even referencing some morally ambiguous decisions she made during that time. In a resurfaced video from 2019, she admitted to inviting men to hotel rooms with ulterior motives, stating, "I would drug them and rob them." This admission drew harsh criticism, drawing parallels to high-profile criminal cases in the media.

Defending Her Actions

Amidst the backlash, Cardi defended her actions, emphasizing the importance of survival in challenging circumstances. “I’m part of a Hip Hop culture where you can talk about where you come from and the wrong things you had to do to get where you are,” she explained, reiterating that she never aimed to glorify her past actions.

Reflections on Her Journey

Cardi has consistently maintained that her experiences were a reflection of her circumstances. "I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world,” she said. “I made choices based on very limited options." She further clarified her position during social media discussions by stating that her past actions were not something she promotes in her music.
