Before becoming a famous rapper, Cardi B had a difficult past and worked as a stripper.

Before achieving her current fame, Cardi B faced many hardships. In a 2018 interview, she openly recounted her embarrassing past: “Back then, I was really ashamed because of my job as a stripper. I still remember the shame from those first few months of working. After my shifts, I would cry, thinking about how disappointed my parents would be if they found out about my job.”

After overcoming many challenges, Cardi B is now a major star in Hollywood. She can’t hide her pride when talking about her music career and how she rose from “the bottom up.” However, when discussing her past as a stripper, Cardi B still holds a lot of feelings. For the female rapper, her life now feels like a fairy tale, where she gets to play the role of a princess.

Recently, the Crazy Horse nightclub and the stripper profession have gained significant attention from K-pop fans due to Lisa’s three consecutive performances. The appearance of the BLACKPINK member sparked intense debates on social media. Korean and Chinese fans strongly opposed Lisa’s stripping performance, expressing disappointment and even criticizing the idol for going against “feminism” and breaking BLACKPINK’s image.

But aside from the negative opinions, some audience members believe that Lisa, who is nearly 30, can make her own career decisions. While performing at Crazy Horse, Lisa was accompanied by her mother, her wealthy boyfriend, and family for support, along with three members of BLACKPINK. Outside the nightclub, many fans waited to meet the idol.

There are various perspectives on stripping; while Cardi B feels ashamed of her difficult past, others view it as a form of entertainment for the elite. Despite the negative public reactions, Lisa cheerfully posted pictures from Crazy Horse and seems unfazed by the critical comments on social media.
