Cardi B gives her former middle school $100,000.
Cardi B is once again giving back, this time to her former Middle School.
The rapper paid an unannounced visit to her old middle school, I.S. 232 The Alexander Macomb School, in the Bronx on Tuesday, surprising the kids and teachers.
Cardi, 29, visited two other back-to-school events with the CCD in Queens and Brooklyn this week.
Her final appearance was at IS 232 where she delivered a speech and answered student questions, before pledging $100,000 towards the school.
She took the stage after being warmly welcomed and gave the youngsters some advise while reflecting on her experiences as a young person.
“The decisions that you make now is very pivotal,” Cardi said. “Before you make that one bad decision…make sure you remember, where do you want to be in a couple of years from now? Make sure you think longterm.”

Cardi, who attended I.S 232 from 6th through 8th grade, then announced that she will be donating $100,000 to her alma mater. Her generous donation received cheers and even some tears from students and faculty members.
Cardi said she wants the money to be used for after-school activities, tutoring, or even a music program.
Her visit is part of a tour she is doing with Queens-based non-profit Community Capacity Development. Last week, she surprised students in Queensbridge.
