Cardi B gives fans insight into what her life looks like as a 'regular person'
Cardi B has surprised fans with a rare glimpse into her day-to-day life when she's not playing sold-out shows, recording future hits, or dancing in music videos.
The rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus, took to TikTok to show followers what her life as a 'regular' person looks like - and it's honestly very sweet.
The 'WAP' singer began her video by explaining: "Hi guys, it's your girl Cardi B. So, my fans have been wanting me to do more TikToks, so here I am.

"I'm gonna give you what a regular day is in my life as a regular person - as Belcalis."
In the two-minute clip, fans can see Cardi getting out of bed and checking her phone before heading to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
Narrating the sped-up video, she says that she has to 'get ready before [her] kids notice [she's] up because, boom, once they know [she's] up, they won't leave [her] alone'.
After a little bit of play time with her Kulture, 5, and Wave, 1, the Grammy-winner films herself making lunch for her kids.
"Usually we have somebody doing lunch for me, but everybody's on spring break, so I got all the duties," she tells fans.
Cardi B then heads to the gym with Kulture while her cousin takes care of Wave, where she says she works out for two hours per day and stretches for one hour per day.
The 'Be Careful' singer explained that she's dedicating so much time to stretching because she wants to get her flexibility back.
"I want to be able to be as flexible as I was before I had my son," she whispered into the microphone.
"But my real goal is to be as stretchable and flexible as I was when I was a stripper, but [you] can't build Rome in a day."
She also preemptively addressed haters who might have called her out for working out even though she had liposuction surgery in 2019.
"A lot of people are like, 'why are you working out? You had a lipo'," she began.
"But there's this thing called visceral fat, and visceral fat is the fat that surrounds your organs that you cannot lipo.
"And that's why sometimes girls with lipo might have a snatched waist with a gut - that's because they're not working out, they just keep eating and eating and their waist is small but they still got a belly."
So... that's that, then.
Cardi wrapped up the day by dropping into Target to buy herself a massage gun and some toys for her kids for being so well behaved while she was at the gym, before picking up some dinner.
"Yes, I'm buying dinner and I'm buying pizza. S**t, I'm tired!" she laughed.
Cardi concluded the video by asking her fans if they wanted more videos like this, and it looks like the answer is a resounding 'yes'.
"Cardi is so real for this," wrote one fan.
"We need more of this, queen," insisted another.
Others were more concerned with the fact that Cardi B likes to casually swing by Target every now and again.
"Imagine seeing Cardi B at TARGET," commented one viewer.
"Omg I love this I would have a heart attack if I ran into her at Target," admitted a second.
Well, Cardi B fans, you've been warned. Always be prepared to bump into your hero at your local Target, because you just never know.
