Cardi B has said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

One thing that always bothers me is that people know so little about my culture. We are Caribbean people. And a lot of people be attacking me because they feel like I don’t be saying that I’m black… Some people want to decide if you’re black or not, depending on your skin complexion, because they don’t understand Caribbean people or our culture. I don’t got to tell you that I’m black. I expect you to know it… I expect people to understand that just because we’re not African American, we are still black. It’s still in our culture. Just like everybody else, we came over here the same f**king way. I hate when people try to take my roots from me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cardi B’s paternal grandmother is named Esperanza Alm\u00e1nzar.<\/p>\n

Cardi B is said to be a cousin of rapper GloRilla<\/a>.<\/p>\n
