How did we get here? How did Cardi B become the voice of reason? Let’s take a look.

“However you feel about Cardi B, sis was poor like the rest of us. She actually came from “nothing” and unlike a lot of these millionaires and billionaires y’all look up to, she hasn’t and refused to forget her past and realizes how poor people are suffering.”
