It’s no secret that Cardi B has Latin American roots. Born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, she identifies as Afro-Latina, with her father being Dominican and her mother Trinidadian of African and Spanish descent. Her discography first showcased her Latin influence with the 2018 hit single “I Like It,” featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin. More recently, Cardi embraced her inner Latina with the single “Puntería” from Shakira’s new album “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” where she raps fluently in Spanish throughout both verses and the chorus. Additionally, she demonstrated her Spanish flow in Peso Pluma’s “Put Em In The Fridge.”
