This morning, Cardi B’s close friend Star Brim officially began her prison sentence. Back in March, Star Brim pled guilty to RICO charges and was sentenced to a year and one day behind bars. Originally, her surrender date was set for July 1st, but as reported by AllHipHop, she requested and was granted a delay by Judge George B. Daniels. Star Brim wanted to take her son to his first day of kindergarten, and the judge approved her request to push back her prison start date.
Today marked the day Star Brim had to turn herself in. Before heading to serve her time, she spent her final night of freedom with Cardi B, who took to Instagram Live to offer her friend words of encouragement. Referring to prison as “big girl school,” Cardi shared her positive outlook on Star’s journey. “This is a reset,” Cardi said. “‘Cuz when she graduate from big girl school, it’s going to be a whole brand new everything.”
Cardi also took a moment to reflect on how much her friend has changed. “It’s like we have grown up,” she shared. “You have became such a different person, and it’s just like, I really want people to hear her story and it’s so inspirational.” At one point, Cardi got emotional, telling Star to “cut the camera.”
Star Brim, in turn, praised Cardi for her unwavering loyalty. “Cardi is never there for me when I want her,” she joked. “But every single time I need this little b*tch, she’s there.” Cardi even promised to challenge herself in solidarity, saying, “If she going to be uncomfortable, I’mma put myself in situations where I’m uncomfortable.”
