-What a year. What a year.
Everything you're having. I mean, there's so much
to talk about. Congrats on everything.
And thanks for being here.
-Thank you. Ohm... [ Laughter ] -"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 fianc. 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.

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 ] [ Laughter ] -[ Laughs ]
