Cardi B Posts Old Photos of Herself at 15

Cardi B is one of the biggest female rappers of our time, which means there are a lot of young girls who look up to her. That alone can be a lot of pressure, especially for someone like Cardi who raps about things little girls shouldn’t hear. Though Cardi has struggled with the pressures of being a proper role model for kids, the “I Like It” rapper recently tried to give legit advice.
