After speaking about an arrest she faced while at the school due to not fully understanding the significance of attaining an education at the time, Cardi said, “When it was time to go to high school, I wanted to go to a certain school, because I always wanted to be an entertainer,” according to a video of the appearance shared to Twitter.
“And I didn’t get accepted to the school, and I was upset because some girls that I felt like were less talented than me got accepted to those schools, but the difference was that I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to be doing.It’s never too late for you guys,” Cardi added.
In a statement by NYC Schools Chancellor David Banks to WPIX-TV, he said, “We are thrilled to welcome Cardi B back home to IS 232 in the Bronx, and we are so grateful for her generous contribution to her alma mater.”
Banks added, “Cardi B’s commitment of USD 100K for the arts will help the school’s kids soar to their highest heights. Thank you, Cardi!”
Cardi B’s love for kids is often visible through her actions, as she also showed love last week to her blended family with husband Offset as they came together to celebrate a special occasion.
Photos from son Wave Set’s first birthday shared by Cardi showed her and Offset, posing with all five of their children. In addition to Wave and daughter Kulture Kiari with Cardi, Offset is also dad to daughter Kalea and sons Kody and Jordan from previous relationships.
