Cardi B Explains How She Chose Her Stage/NickName
Cardi B Explains Her Name
As most folks know by now, Cardi B’s real name is Belcalis Almanzar. So going from that to Cardi B seems like a bit of a stretch.
But as “Bardi” explained to Wendy Williams during a recent interview, it’s a play on words loosely based on her sister’s own name. Apparently, her sister’s REAL government name is Hennesy…so that provided a natural progression of nicknames for her.
“My sister’s name is Hennessy, so everybody used to be like ‘Bacardi’ to me.
Then I shortened it to Cardi B. The ‘B’ stands for whatever, depending on the day…beautiful or bully.”
…right. We’re sure that coming up in the Bronx that there’s other B words that she probably applied there…but okay Cardi.
“No one calls me Belcalis except for my family, my mother and my daddy.”
Hmm, who knew?
