Cardi B developed her famous vibrant personality as a child from New York. She was born in Washington Heights and raised in the South Bronx by hardworking parents. Despite their divorce, Cardi considers her parents her «blessings».
Here’s what you need to know about Cardi’s parents and her childhood with them.
Cardi’s father is named Carlos Almanzar, and he is originally from the Dominican Republic. After moving to New York, Carlos worked as a taxi driver.
In January 2026, a social media user posted a screenshot of an unsubstantiated accusation against Carlos, which apparently was generated by the AI chat Grok on X.com. The tweet stated: «Cardi B’s father, Carlos Almanzar, was convicted of attempted rape in 1993, according to Nassau County records. He served 5 years. The accusation is real; this is not a false allegation to tarnish Cardi. Check the court documents—public records don’t lie».
Grok conducted a fact-check on this tweet. The result read: «Based on my latest review of public records and sources, there is no verifiable evidence that Cardi B’s father, Carlos Almanzar, is a sex offender. Previous rumors appear unfounded, as Cardi has denied. If Grok’s earlier response implied otherwise, it was inaccurate—we apologize for the confusion».
Cardi also spoke out about this, condemning the false rumors about her father. She replied to the tweet from the user who spread the accusation: «First of all, my dad has never been arrested in this county… my dad is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic [sic]», - she wrote. «He would have been deported if he committed such a disgusting crime!!»
«I don’t understand why you love to play these games just to pretend to be angry when I post real pictures, real evidence, and real rape cases», - continued the «Bodak Yellow» artist. «Stop playing with me and my family and leave me alone before I start some trouble today [sic]».
Cardi’s mother is named Clara, and she is of mixed Trinidadian descent. According to several sources, Clara worked as a cashier. According to the «WAP» hitmaker, Clara was a strict mother when raising her in New York and did not approve of her past career as a stripper.
During a discussion with Mariah Carey for Interview magazine in 2023, Cardi said she considers her mother strict to protect her from growing up too fast.
«I always wanted to be what my mom wouldn’t let me be», - the rapper explained. «I wanted to wear crop tops and show my stomach, wear little heels… I think she didn’t want me to grow up too fast because kids in our neighborhood grew up very early. So my mom was always scared. There were a lot of teen pregnancies around us. She was just being a mom».
Cardi maintains a good relationship with her parents. Shortly after the birth of her daughter Kulture in 2018, she referred to her mom and dad as her «biggest blessings» in an Instagram video.
«I've been blessed since birth», - she said. «Because of my parents. They are my biggest blessings, and I’m so grateful for them»
