Cardi B on Tuesday defended herself against detractors after an Instagram video resurfaced that showed her recalling that she drugged and robbed men when she worked as a stripper.

In the three-year-old video that was shared on social media over the weekend, Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, was emotional when she explained the lengths she went to in order to make it in the music industry and secure studio time.

The rapper originally posted the video in response to someone who said she did not deserve her success.
