But that was not the end of it for her, she told Carey. By the time she was 20 and she started working in urban strip clubs, she realised that there they had a demand for larger butts.

Cardi B also told Mariah Carey that the plastic surgery made her feel like the best version of herself and the person she was now was the result of them. Cardi B also opened up about the issues she had with her hair. She told Carey that because she came from two different races, she had a mixed type of hair. She recalled people in her childhood asking her why she did not have a particular type of hair others of her race did. She was always very 'embarrassed' because of it and tried all kinds of things which ultimately made her hair worse, she recalled. It was only recently that she found a cocktail of home remedies that helped her maintain the quality of her hair and its health. She also shared the recipe for a DIY mask on the interview for all who needed it.
