Cardi B shared a funny story of going to the same part with her cousin on the David Letterman show on Netflix.

A Spanish Grandfather, a Trinidadian Grandmother, and a Neighborhood Full of 37 Cousins, Cardi B Spills the Tea on Her Family’s Heritage

Up is still catchy, and it’s still impossible not to dance to it. The rapper
behind the viral hit, Cardi B spills about her big family and a locality full of
cousins in a rare interview with David Letterman. The rapper just recently
became a mother for the second time. She welcomed a baby boy with her husband
Offset. The couple already had a daughter, Kulture, before this.


CARDI B WAS ALWAYS GROUNDED GROWING UP IN THE BRONX WITH 37 COUSINS

Cardi B shared that her grandfather was a Spaniard. He met her Trinadadian
grandmother in Trinidad, and they got married. Soon after, the entire family
moved to the Bronx. Her mother has 12 siblings and her Dominican father has
eight siblings of his own. So Cardi B [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/cardi-b]
was never short of cousins to play or skip school with while growing up. All 37
cousins growing up in the same neighborhood meant they would see each other all
the time and even bunk school to go to hooky parties together. Once she met her
cousin on a train going to the same hooky party!

HER UPBRINGING WAS VERY STRICT 

The most shocking revelation on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David
Letterman [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/my-next-guest-needs-no-introduction]
was when the rapper shared how strict her mother was. Her mother never let her
go to the movies and even grounded her for skipping school. She got bad grades
and was always more interested in going to the parties. She recalled, “My whole
teenage life I was grounded. I was never ungrounded.” 

When her parents separated, she was 13. But she saw it as a sign of more freedom
and less restrictions. However, she noted that her mother worked two jobs to
raise the kids. And still had the energy to cook meals every weekend. Now having
a daughter of her own, she doesn’t think she’s as strict as her mom. Instead,
she shared that Kulture is really “slick” and knows how to get her way.
