Big news from one of music’s current darlings – hip hop artist Cardi B admits to having drugged and robbed from men back in her stripper days. Via NBC News:

In the three-year-old video that was shared on social media over the weekend, Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, was emotional when she explained the lengths she went to in order to make it in the music industry and secure studio time.

The rapper originally posted the video in response to someone who said she did not deserve her success. She said she would drug and rob men who wanted to have sex with her during her time as a stripper in New York.

Yiiiiikes. We all have our tough times, but drugging and robbing dudes trying to get some? Yiiiiiikes. After commenters compared her to R. Kelly, Cardi defended herself on Twitter on Tuesday, posting this screenshot:
