The Grammy-winning rapper traded designer outfits for cleaning supplies during a family visit to the Dominican Republic, proving that superstar status doesn't get you out of household chores. Cardi B may be one of the biggest names in hip-hop, but when she visits her family in the Dominican Republic, she's apparently still expected to pick up a broom and get to work.
The Grammy-winning rapper is going viral after videos surfaced showing her sweeping, scrubbing, and washing down the floors of her grandparents' home in Castañuelas, a community in the Montecristi province of the Dominican Republic.

And judging by the reactions online, fans are loving this down-to-earth side of the superstar.

Dressed casually and wearing sandals, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker looked nothing like the glamorous celebrity fans are accustomed to seeing on red carpets. Just Cardi, her relatives, and some serious housework.
The footage quickly circulated across social media, with viewers amused by the sight of a multimillionaire celebrity doing the same chores that countless people grew up doing in their grandparents' homes.
Fans React to Cardi B Cleaning Her Grandma's House
Naturally, social media users had plenty to say about Cardi B's unexpected cleaning duties. Some fans praised her humility and willingness to help her family despite her enormous success. Others joked that no amount of fame can protect someone from being assigned chores when visiting their grandparents.
Other viewers pointed out that Cardi has always been open about her upbringing, her family, and her Dominican heritage.
For many Caribbean and Latino families, the scene was instantly recognizable. Cleaning the house, washing floors, helping prepare meals, and pitching in with household responsibilities are everyday parts of family life.
And when grandma needs something done, being famous isn't necessarily a valid excuse.
Cardi B Celebrates Her 34th Birthday in the Dominican Republic
The cleaning video wasn't the only memorable moment from Cardi B's visit. The rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, celebrated her 34th birthday on October 11 while spending time with relatives in the Dominican Republic.
Additional footage shared online showed Cardi enjoying a low-key birthday celebration surrounded by family members.
In one clip, relatives gathered around a birthday cake and sang to the rapper, creating a more intimate celebration than the extravagant celebrity parties often associated with her public image.
Her trip also came during a difficult period for the family. According to Dominican news outlet Diario Libre, Cardi traveled to the country following the death of her paternal grandfather, whose funeral services took place that weekend.
Cardi B Has Always Embraced Her Dominican Roots
Although Cardi B was born and raised in New York City, her Dominican heritage has remained an important part of her identity. Her father, Carlos Almánzar, is Dominican, while her mother, Clara Almánzar, has Trinidadian roots.
Throughout her career, Cardi has openly embraced her Caribbean background, frequently incorporating Spanish expressions, Dominican slang, and cultural references into her public appearances and social media content.

Even Cardi B's Daughter Kulture Has Been Put to Work
Interestingly, Cardi B isn't the only member of her household who has been spotted cleaning during a Dominican family visit. In July 2025, her eldest daughter, Kulture, attracted attention after footage circulated showing her cleaning a floor while visiting family in the Dominican Republic.
Reports indicated that Cardi's grandmother had put Kulture to work, prompting amused reactions from social media users.
