Cardi B is a main cast member on seasons six and seven of Love & Hip Hop: New York.

She was the breakout star of the sixth season, her debut season. She started as an antagonist to DJ Self, and Yorma, but eventually a protagonist herself. She made her music breakthrough between seasons six, and seven and she leaves the show after the seventh season. She is considered the biggest star to come from the whole Love & Hip Hop franchise.

Cardi B is a rapper. She was born in The Bronx, New York City to an Afro-Trinidadian mother and Dominican father and spent most of her time as a child at her paternal grandparents in Washington Heights, Manhattan.

Cardi joins the main cast of Love & Hip Hop: New York in season six.

She has a casual fling with DJ Self, leading to a violent altercation with his girlfriend Yorma. Cardi and Self end up clashing later in the season, when he fails to take her music career seriously. Cardi's music career begins to take off in season seven after the release of her mixtapes, and her relationship with producer Swift Star turns sexual, leading to a heated confrontation between her and his girlfriend Asia.

On December 30, 2016, she announced she was leaving the show to focus on her music career.

Cardi returned briefly to the franchise in the special Love & Hip Hop Awards: Most Certified, where she won the Most Quotable category.
