Growing up, Cardi B never saw the need to learn how to drive, as New York City offers its residents a rapid transit system that connects the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. However, the rap sensation lives an extravagant lifestyle, which has led her to acquire valuable vehicles, even though she has never pressed the gas pedal.
The mom of two is now determined to change this up. Recently, she took to Instagram Live to share a glimpse of her latest venture: learning to drive. In a candid video, the Grammy-winning artist could be seen navigating the streets of her neighborhood, guided by her driving instructor as she embarked on this new journey of independence.
