‘I Feel ‘Super Confident’ Cardi B Talks About Her Plastic Surgery
‘I Feel ‘Super Confident’ Cardi B Talks About Her Plastic Surgery! Bronx rapper Cardi B has never shied away from talking about her plastic surgery experience. And whereas different people may have different views about her cosmetic procedures, the “WAP” hit-maker says the enhancements make her feel more confident.
“Well, I’m from New York, right? And New York is a melting pot, especially where I grew up in the Bronx. I was really skinny when I was younger, and in the Bronx, it’s about being thick and having an ass so young boys would be like, ‘Look at your flat ass. You ain’t got no t—ies.’ And it would make me feel so ugly and undeveloped,” Cardi said in an intimate conversation with Mariah Carey for her Interview cover story.
As soon as Cardi became old enough to work as a dancer in a strip club, she made use of her earnings to get breast implants, her first step towards putting her insecurities behind.
“When I was 18 and became a dancer, I had enough money to afford to buy boobs, so every insecurity that I felt about my breasts was gone,” she said. But by age 20, enhancing her butt became her next priority. “When I was 20, I went to the urban strip club, and in the urban strip clubs, you had to have a big butt. So I felt insecure about that. It took me back to high school. So I got my ass done.”
According to the rapper, the plastic surgery procedures helped her discover the best version of herself. “Then I felt super confident. I feel so vindicated,” she said.
Cardi B further opened up to Mariah Carey about the fact that she struggled to manage her hair during her adolescence and the cruel comments she received about her look from boys in her neighborhood. “I’m Trini and I’m Dominican, and there’s a lot of Dominicans that look a certain type of way. They have soft, pretty, curly hair. When I was younger, I didn’t really know how to take care of my hair. Growing up, guys would ask me weird questions like, ‘If you’re Dominican, why is your hair so nappy?'” Cardi shared.
