-"Cardi B." Where did that name come from?

-My name come from -- You know what?

My sister name is Hennessy. -Mm-hmm.

-You know what I'm saying? My sister name is Hennessy, right?

So everybody used to call me Bacardi.

So I always called myself Bacardi, right?

And then it was my Instagram name. Like Bacardi, BacardiB.

But for some reason my Instagram keep getting deleted,

and I think it was Bacardi that had something to do with it.

So I just shortened it to Cardi B.

-So Cardi B is the jam. And I love that.

Now everyone's calling your name now, pal.

-Yeah.

-You are from the Bronx?

-Mm-hmm. Euymmm.

[ Laughter ]

-Are you --

Sorry.

Are you -- Wait a second.

Are you from --

Are you going home for the holidays, to the Bronx?

-Yep. Oh, yeah, yes. Definitely. -You are, yeah.

I follow you on Twitter -- @IAMCARDIB.

And you said that you're not getting any adults gifts

this year for Christmas.

-No. Because you want to know something?

Everybody that I know got kids.

And this is like -- That's just a lot of kids.

-So take care of --

-And I got new godkids out of nowhere.

You know, once you start making money,

everybody wants you to be their kid's godmother or somethin'.

[ Laughter ]

-But I -- You did get a beautiful gift.

Actually you got a wedding ring from your fiancé.

You're engaged to Offset there, from Migos.

He did that live?

-Ohh! [ Trills tongue ]

-I mean -- [ Trills tongue ] is right!

Yeah!

I mean, it looks gorgeous. Let me see that.

Let me see that ring.

Look at that. -Don't get too close,

Because I didn't put no lotion on my hand.

-Gotcha. I gotcha. -It's wintertime.

-It's wintertime. I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Did you know -- Look --

That is the biggest diamond I've ever seen.

Did you have any idea that he was going to do it?

-No. I mean, you know, I was --

He always used to tell me,

"I'm gonna marry you. I'm gonna marry you."

And it's just like, "Hmm-mmm."

It's the right thing to do.

But, you know, I know he was gonna give me --

I knew he was gonna give me a very expensive gift,

because he wasn't there for my birthday.

But I thought he was gonna give me, like, a watch or somethin'.

Anyway, he just -- he just went out his way.

Ohh. [ Trills tongue ]
