“It was a little hectic, people were asked when they were shooting not to take videos, but no one listened,” said an onlooker. “People drove in from New Jersey just to see her.”
Dancers were also on set, along with rapper Kash Doll.
According to TMZ, Cardi B, born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, became the first female rapper with four Recording Industry Association of America Diamond-certified singles: “WAP,” “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It” and “Girls Like You.”

She was raised in the Bronx but regularly appears in Brooklyn. In 2018, she handed out free winter coats to residents at the Marlboro Houses in Gravesend.
In 2022, she traveled to Brownsville and attended events hosted by Community Capacity Development, a nonprofit focused on human justice and healing that works to uproot systemic challenges in marginalized communities.
On July 25, Cardi performed at Pacha New York in East Williamsburg for a one-night-only performance.
