"I'd rather have money and be broken-hearted than be broke and broken-hearted."
~ Cardi B
Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar or simply Cardi B is one of the most successful female rappers of all time. She is known for her hit songs such as "UP", "I like It", "Bodak Yellow", and many more.
Cardi B has an inspirational story because she became popular and successful more or less on her own. She started from social media -- from Instagram and Vine, then transitioned to the reality TV show, and then became perhaps the most successful female rapper of all time.
About Cardi B's Real Height
Cardi B is a well-proportioned, healthy-looking woman with curves, perhaps that helps her look bigger than she really is. Anyway, Cardi B claims to be 5'3" tall.
But perhaps her height was measured with shoes still on because she looks way shorter than her claim -- especially when compared to some other celebrities, like to Bruno Mars (5'4") -- she looks way shorter than him.
After taking a careful look at her, we think Cardi B indeed looks just as tall as other short female singers such as Lady Gaga (5'1½"), Shakira (5'1½"), Nicki Minaj (5'2") -- though admittedly Ms. Minaj still looks a bit taller than Cardi B.
The real height of Cardi B is
5'1¼" or 155.5 cm
