Cardi B: Her Life Story (2018)

First gaining exposure as a reality television star, American rapper Cardi B made a quick ascent to the top of the charts with an initial run of singles that made her the first female rapper in nearly two decades to claim the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100. Spitting raw and aggressive rhymes in the traditions of Lil' Kim, Nicki Minaj and Foxy Brown, the former stripper and social media star born Belcalis Almanzar made her television debut on VH1's Love and Hip Hop: New York in late 2015, joining a cast that also included fellow New York rapper Remy Ma. This documentary film goes beyond the music and explores her challenges and triumphs.
