Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that Cardi B is the latest hip-hop sensation, stunning music fans with her summer smash last year, "Bodak Yellow". Originally a stripper and Instafamous sensation, Cardi has gone from strength to strength, just dropping her first album Invasion of Privacy to an overwhelmingly positive response from peers and fans. While the 25-year-old New York native is busy smashing out hit singles while preparing to become a mother for the first time, fans are gradually starting to wise up to her equally beautiful, equally intriguing sister, Hennessy - but who is she?

Hennessy Carolina is a reality star, Instagram influencer, and blossoming fashion designer, named after alcohol. How cool is that? According to Cosmopolitan, her father showed up to the hospital drunk when she was born, and insisted that his new baby daughter be named after his favorite alcoholic beverage. Cardi B, real name Balcalis Almanzar, soon became known as Bacardi, then Cardi B. Hennessy joined her sister on VH1's reality show, Love and Hip Hop: New York for season 7, introducing herself to the world and ending up in a fight during the reunion episode that captivated viewers. "I got into a fight on the reunion and I regret it," said the 22-year-old. "One reason I regret it is because I'm grown and I wouldn't want to let that represent me. It's because the girl was being fake and she was talking crap about my sister, and I'm very defensive over my sister." #sistergoals.
The two siblings were side by side at the Grammys, both dressed in white and both sporting white roses in support of the #MeToo movement. Both Cardi and Hennessy have been vocal about female empowerment and body positivity, with the latter stating in the past, "I consider myself a feminist! Yeah, I do." If the stunning Bronx native looks like your type, we're sorry to tell you that she is off the market, happily coupled up with her girlfriend.
While all of this is enough to make us love her to death already, Hennessy is also busy building her 'schmoney' as her sister would say, studying fashion at FIT while lighting up Instagram louder than Paris Fashion Week with her unique style.
In short, we love you Hennessy. Can we be you?
