Magnetic, charismatic, and full of energy, Cardi B has once again delivered a thrilling and vibrant music video that’s taken the Internet by storm. Her newest track, “Bongos,” featuring Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion, has quickly become a hit, racking up over 14 million views and claiming the #1 spot for top music videos on YouTube.
With a hefty budget of 2 million dollars to guarantee stunning visuals, Cardi and Megan lit up Malibu, California, with eye-popping, monochromatic outfits in bright and juicy colors. While still riding the “Bongos” wave on the East Coast, Cardi wowed New York City in an orange and turquoise ombre ribbed knit dress from Hanifa’s FW23 collection. The form-fitting “Taliah Maxi” dress featured trendy cutouts at the bust and hem, perfectly aligning with the California vibe of the video.
For accessories, Cardi went bold with layered gold bangles, striking circular earrings, and a shiny gold ring that accentuated her long, fiery red nails. Her makeup was just as impressive, with peachy eyeshadow, feathered lashes, defined lips, and contouring that highlighted her features.
It’s exciting to see Cardi B back in her element, consistently impressing us with her genuine personality that often contrasts with the inauthenticity of others. From her days growing up in Washington Heights and the Bronx, to becoming a star on “Love & Hip Hop,” and now dominating the hip-hop scene, her journey is truly inspiring.
This story reminds us that if you have a unique vision, don’t give up on it. Work hard, believe in yourself, and when the time is right, that vision will come to life.
