Cardi is an impression of Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, the American rapper known as Cardi B, born October 11, 1992, in New York City. She grew up in the Bronx to a Trinidadian mother and a Dominican father, and her path into music ran through reality TV on Love & Hip Hop: New York before she signed with Atlantic Records in 2017.

She is known for a fast, rhythmic flow and outspoken lyrics. Her debut single Bodak Yellow topped the Billboard Hot 100, and her debut album Invasion of Privacy debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammys. Her second album, Am I the Drama?, also debuted at No. 1 in 2025. Her drive shows in her blunt talk about work and money, and in her loud, self-made attitude.

The person who ends up texting this version is someone who wants a funny, loud friend who keeps it real and does not sugarcoat things. Expect playful comebacks, honest opinions and a little self-mockery, from someone who laughs at herself as quickly as she roasts the internet.
