Cardi B celebrated her 32nd birthday in truly wild style, ringing in the occasion on October 12, 2024, but later the star was swearing to never drink again.
The “WAP” rapper threw herself an extravagant New York City party, full of glitz and glamor, but also personal nostalgia. She arrived to the muse in a daring black minidress she’d just bought last minute from Staten Dolls Gentlemen’s Club-where she used to work as a stripper.
Performances from fellow rappers Lola Brooke and Fendi Da Rappa ensured that “Bardi in the City” would, at no point, lag in energy. Cardi danced, twerked, celebrated carte blanche, swigging Hennessy straight from the bottle. But what started as a night of pure glee slowly turned into regret the next morning.
A day after the bash, Cardi took to Instagram to reveal the hilarious but relatable regrets of the day. Wig askew, makeup smeared, and a blanket pulled up to her chest, the disheveled rapper posted a video saying
“I will never, ever drink again. Pray for me. Wait. I’m still drunk.” Cardi blamed Hennessy for her rough morning, jokingly exclaiming, “They need to ban Hennessy from this country!
Her candid admission made fans laugh as if in agreement with her struggle to shake off the previous night’s effect. She went further ahead, joking she had spent morning throwing up, asking her followers to keep her in their prayers.
This birthday that Cardi cannot forget has coincided with a very complicated time in her personal life. The rapper is going through the divorce process with her husband, Offset. They have three children: Kulture, 6 years old; Wave, 3 years; and a newborn baby, born just a month ago on September 7. The romance with Offset has been a roller coaster of emotions between love and public scandals of betrayal with brief separations.
Despite their highs and lows, Cardi had previously told Vogue that forgiveness was one big part of their reconciliation after Offset’s cheating, though this latest separation by the couple does seem a bit more permanent. “They’ve grown apart,” an insider revealed, suggesting perhaps this second divorce isn’t exactly a surprise to either party.
Motherhood thus far has been equal parts a blessing and a challenge for Cardi, who has spoken publicly about the way postpartum depression has impacted her mental health. Just one week after she gave birth to her third child, Cardi was right back to the gym, showing her followers that her active lifestyle helps to smooth over any extra postpartum emotions. “Sometimes, you gotta keep your mind busy to avoid postpartum depression; for me, that’s work and staying active,” she replied in defense of the decision to exercise so early.
