+ How many pairs of "bloody shoes" does Cardi B own? The chart-topping rapper's stylist, Kollin Carter, revealed that the "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker owns almost 90 Christian Louboutin heels. "Before 'Bodak' blew up, she wore red bottoms because that’s what it means to make it in the Bronx. It’s a status symbol that the masses can relate to," he says. "Everyday girls work hard and save up their money to have that shoe.” You can read the article in full, here.
