Cardi B has the greatest level-up story I’ve ever seen. When she started to dance, her goal was to retire from it by the time she was 25 and build her wealth through real estate. Things have definitely taken a different turn but most definitely not for the worse. I’ll get more into her exotic dancing later. Her rise to fame and success has been nothing short of monumental, inspirational, and motivational. She went from raking up dollars in the club to securing ALL the bags from not only performing all over the world and topping the charts - Cardi B has the most number one hits among female rappers, by the way. Bodak Yellow, I Like It, Girls Like You, and of course, WAP. She has also become every girl’s BFF and you either love her or hate or hate to love her but either way, my girl has the Midas touch and turns everything to gold. You’ve probably even done or watched about a million TikToks of the WAP dance… to be honest. 2020 has been slow for some people but Cardi stays dominating from magazine covers, she announced her Las Vegas residency at the Palms Casino Resort but due to the pandemic that’s on hold and she also joined the cast of Fast and Furious 9 which is slated for a 2021 release. Either way, these are all big deals and that means big bucks! Prior to 2020 though, Cardi was reportedly paid 170k for two 35-minute acts at Coachella in 2018 (that she performed pregnant, by the way), her FashionNova line sold out completely and she numerous sold-out tours. I told you. Anything she touches…GOLD.
