Rapper Cardi B describes how she came up with her name, and the answer might surprise you. <br />Cardi B broke it all down on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, saying, “You know what? My sister name is Hennessy, so everybody used to just call me Bacardi.” <br />According to Wikipedia, Cardi B’s real name is Belcalis Almanzar, but maybe Bacardi had more of a ring to it. <br />She continues to tell the Tonight Show, “Then it was my Instagram name, Bacardi, Bacardi B, but for some reason my Instagram kept getting deleted, and you know what I think Bacardi had something to do with it. So I just changed it to Cardi B.” <br />Well, thanks to hits like “Bodak Yellow,” it would seem that Cardi B made the right choice by dropping the similarities to the alcohol company. <br />
