Cardi B had $20,000 to her name when she was 20 years old working as a stripper — until one day, she came home and it was all gone. Appearing on the latest episode of Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast, the Bronx rapper told a story about how her ex-boyfriend left her traumatized after he stole her money and took it to California to invest in weed.
“When I was 20 years old, I used to say this so much, ’cause I was like, ‘I’m 20 years old and I got $20,000,'” Cardi B explained. “And that just always made me hyped up ’cause I worked hard for it. I fucking shaked my ass real hard for it. And then, I came home one day from work, I’m counting the money and everything, I’m about to put it in my stash and I’ve got like $1,000.”
She continued, “This n-gga took my fucking money. He took my money, didn’t answer the phone for like a whole day. I was going insane. He was like, ‘Yeah, I took the money because I’m in California getting pounds.’ It’s always that weed shit! That’s why I really – I’m traumatized. This n-gga gave me back like $4,000, talking about, ‘The weed, I got the package…’ It traumatized me. I can’t. See, I’m almost getting shaky.”
