Before becoming famous as a rapper, Cardi B had a miserable past and worked as a stripper.

Before becoming as famous as she is now, Cardi B had a miserable past. In an interview in 2018, Cardi B frankly recounted the past that embarrassed her:  “Cardi was very embarrassed back then, because of that striptease job. To this day, I still remember the humiliation of the first months of my job. Back then, I cried all the time after work, because I kept thinking about how disappointed my parents were when they found out I was doing this job.”

In recent days, Crazy Horse nightclub and the stripper profession have been extremely interested by Kpop fans because of  Lisa ‘s 3 consecutive performances . The appearance of BLACKPINk’s youngest member here sparked fierce controversy on social networks. Korean and Chinese fans objected vehemently when Lisa performed a striptease, expressing their disappointment and even intending to criticize the female idol for going against “feminism” and destroying BLACKPINK’s image.

But in addition to negative opinions, a part of the audience believes that Lisa is nearly 30 years old and can decide her personal career on her own. Performing at Crazy Horse, Lisa was accompanied by her mother, tycoon boyfriend and family to support and had the companionship of 3 BLACKPINK members. Outside the nightclub, many fans were waiting to meet the female idol.

There are many different perspectives on striptease. Cardi B is ashamed of her destitute past, but in the opposite direction, this is considered an entertainment art for the upper class. Lisa, facing negative public reactions, still happily posts photos at Crazy Horse and seems not to care about the attacking comments on social networks.
