CARDI B: ONE TOUGH - & SMART - COOKIE!

-

WE’D like to give hottempere­d rapper Cardi B an “atta girl” for becoming the new Madonna when it comes to shameless self-promotion and getting her name splashed around in the media.

Cardi would be a mildly talented nobody — unknown outside of rap circles — if it wasn’t for her violent, public feuds with other gals.

She got booted from a New York Fashion Week bash for reportedly tossing her stiletto pump at rival singer Nicki Minaj.

And she was charged with misdemeano­rs for supposedly urging her followers to attack sexy sister bartenders Jade and Baddie Gi at Angels Strip Club in Queens. Wild Cardi believes one of the gals bedded her rapper-hubby Offset.

This bad-girl publicity has shot her from “Cardi Who?” to a recognizab­le name.

But she’s also the cooing mom of a newborn daughter named Kulture. Does she really expect us to believe that mommie

dearest is now a nasty-gal gangsta?

Come on, Cardi. We didn’t ride in on a turnip wagon.

We think her loud, public attacks are a ruse — a dangerous way to get her name in lights.

And congrats to Cardi. It’s worked.

Former Nanny star Fran Drescher, who in a zillion years

what a rapper is, is yakking about rebooting her series — with Cardi as her halfblack daughter.

That’s a coup for Cardi, whose only acting credits — if you could call them that — are for music videos.

But if the sitcom does pan out, Cardi’s act will have mushroomed into a plum TV gig. And she could go a lot farther. Remember Will Smith was a little-known rapper until the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air rocketed him to the big screen and superstard­om!
