Cardi B BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Cardi B has dominated headlines this week, stirring social media outrage and fascination in equal measure. According to ThatGrapeJuice, she triggered a wave of backlash after jokingly calling her fans “fat as f***” during a live session while promoting merch for her upcoming album Am I the Drama, due September 19. Rather than issue a standard celebrity apology, Cardi doubled down on TikTok, telling critics to get over it and insisting she won’t say sorry for a joke between her and her “Bardi Gang.” She made it crystal clear: as long as people aren’t stink, she doesn’t care what they look like—a very Cardi take, unapologetic and blunt as ever.
But that’s hardly the only drama she’s brought to the news cycle. Over the weekend, she stole the show hosting WWE SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium, energy off the charts, swanning into the ring in a striking feathered gown and previewing a new song reportedly titled “Hello, It’s Me." As covered by Rap-Up and Kiss Fm Detroit, Cardi used the moment not just to tease fresh music but turned it into a marketing blitz, distributing faux parking tickets on fans’ windshields with QR codes for early album preorders. Fans and wrestling stars alike soaked it up, with Cardi’s theatrical presence drawing praise from both Triple H and Twitter’s wrestling subculture.
Her penchant for blending business and showmanship is paying off big. As detailed by Primetimer, Cardi sits among the world’s richest female rappers in 2025, with endorsements ranging from Balenciaga to her Whipshots whipped cream brand, and a recent Netflix rom-com further ballooning her net worth. The mogul label is feeling more apt than ever, especially with a new beauty and fashion line launched with Revolve Group—something she touted to Elle as a personal, hands-on collaboration, “nothing cheap,” only what feels and looks good.
Fans also caught a peek at her softer (and glitzier) side this week, when she flashed a nearly $72,000 diamond-studded Patek Philippe watch on TikTok, a gift from her “boo boo”—NFL star Stefon Diggs, according to Times of India. Online sleuths instantly crowned it a “soft launch” of their romance, with Cardi’s signature nonchalant flex and no hard confirmation.
One piece of Cardi memorabilia is making waves again too. TMZ reports the infamous mic she chucked at a fan in 2023 is back on eBay, this time with a $1 million ask. The legal aftermath continues, with the injured fan’s lawsuit ongoing, but the seller is banking on Cardi’s amplified buzz—especially after SummerSlam—to send the bidding sky high. A portion of the sale is said to go to the NAACP, though, in true Cardi fashion, the mic remains as controversial as the moment it represents.
Cardi B’s every move—whether outrage, business expansion, romance rumors, or headline-grabbing stunts—confirms her status as both a lightning rod and a master of the media cycle.
