Cardi B? On a running blog? Yep, you read that right. The newly-minted rap queen does run this sh*t like cardio after all.
Cardi B’s success story is famous to her followers. She started her career as a stripper to make ends meet, and ended up becoming successful enough at that to support herself while investing in her true passion: music.

Despite all that unsightly flab poking out over her waistband, by overwhelming consensus Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime performance was AH-MA-ZING, a feather in the spangled lucite pointy cap on top of her decade-long career.
