After an unforgettable night of celebration for her 32nd birthday, Cardi B, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, took to social media to ask her fans for their prayers.
The rapper, known for her hit songs such as "WAP" and "Wild Things," had a wild bash that left her feeling the effects the next day.

Cardi B vowed to stop drinking after throwing an epic party in New York City to celebrate her 32nd birthday on Friday.
“I will never, ever drink again,” she said in a video posted on her Instagram Stories the morning after. “I will never. Pray for me. Wait, I’m still drunk.” She still had her makeup and jewelry from the previous night, while her black, curly hair was in disarray.
According to her Instagram Stories, a friend said the birthday girl “drank the whole” bottle of Hennessy cognac.

On Friday, Cardi hosted a “Bardi in the City” celebration featuring performances by rappers Lola Brooke and Fendi Da Rappa.
For the occasion, the “WAP” rapper wowed attendees in a daring black cut-out dress with a plunging neckline. She completed her stunning look with a pair of black strappy heels embellished with diamonds.
On Saturday, Cardi shared the story behind her sultry dress, revealing that it wasn’t the outfit she had originally planned to wear for her big night.
"So let me tell ya about my little thotty dress," she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. "The dress I was gonna wear for my birthday was a little too small and there wasn’t enough fabric… so I got my a-- in a truck and went to Staten dolls gentlemen’s club where I worked at for four years and bought this little dress because baby NOTHING was gonna stop this night."
"I love the fact that they don’t see me like CARDI B.. they still treat me like CAMILLA (Fun fact.. that was my stripper name)," she revealed.

Cardi B celebrated her 32nd birthday two months after revealing she, once again, filed for divorce from Offset.
She and Offset, who tied the knot in September 2017, have navigated a turbulent relationship filled with both highs and lows. One of their significant challenges arose in late December 2018 when Offset's infidelity was revealed, resulting in a brief separation.
However, the couple reconciled in early 2019, and by 2020, Cardi B opened up about her decision to forgive Offset and give their love another chance.
"When me and my husband got into our issues—you know, he cheated and everything—and I decided to stay with him and work together with him, a lot of people were so mad at me," she told Vogue at the time. "A lot of women felt disappointed in me. But it's real-life sh-t."
She added, "If you love somebody and you stop being with them, you're not really happy on the inside until you have the conversation."
A source previously indicated that this second divorce didn’t come as a shock to Offset.
“They both have been trying to figure out what their future looks like for a while now," the insider said, per Page Six. “It’s not something that happened overnight… They’ve both been on the same page. There wasn’t [pushback]. They’ve grown apart and that feeling has gotten stronger over time. It’s become unavoidable."
Cardi B's birthday celebration also comes one month after she welcomed baby number three on September 7. Since then, she has shared that she returned to the gym, working out just one week after giving birth.
“This is my third baby and postpartum is a little different from my first two,” the rapper said after receiving backlash for working out so quickly after giving birth. “I’m not doing [heavy] lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that… just cardio. Sometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy and for me that’s work and staying active.”
The "WAP" rapper also shares a daughter, Kulture, 6, and a son, Wave, 3, with Offset.
