The Bronx-born rapper has been open about her past as a stripper - a job she took on at the age of 19 and even confessed that she used to drug men and steal their money to "survive". With her music career going strong, she's left exotic dancing behind - but later she got a role in a new stripper-revenge movie.

Axar.az reports citing ET.

"You know what? I was really mad because let me tell you something - when I did the movie, I just got my t**ties done and I got lipo, right? So I was like, 'This is my moment to shine, and I can't shine because I can't climb. So I was mad. I was like, 'Goddamn it!'" she said.

The movie, which was inspired by a true story published in the New York Magazine, "The Hustlers at Scores", is about a group of former strippers who cajole money out of Wall Street bankers' pockets. Along with Cardi, "Hustlers" stars Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Lili Reinhart, Keke Palmer, and singer Lizzo, and hits cinemas on 13 September.

While Cardi was unable to live up to the reputation she'd developed while working as an exotic dancer, she was impressed by her castmates' moves, namely Lopez's.

The Grammy-winning performer also dropped a bombshell about the upcoming motion picture, having shared with Access Hollywood's Scott Evans that she had to give JLo a lap dance - an experience which made her really edgy.
