Cardi B‘s throwback photo from her struggle days as an exotic dancer went viral on Twitter.
The former stripper shared a photo that shows her twerking amid a pile of one dollar bills as men count the cash.
She captioned the image: “2014.”
Cardi previously told Interview magazine:
“When I first entered the strip club, I was really shy. I felt really uncomfortable. I felt very ashamed. There were times when I was crying, like, “Oh my gosh, if my mom or my dad found out, they’d be so humiliated. But I needed the f*cking money.”
The Bronx-raised rapper can look back on those days and laugh now that she has more than enough money to feed her husband and children.
Cardi’s post sparked a Twitter trend, as fans shared one of Cardi’s struggle photos as an example of themselves if defending their favorite celebrity was a full-time job.
