“It’s more than a diploma," Cardi says. "It’s more than graduation. It’s knowledge. It’s knowing that you took it… that you went through those hard nights studying. To this day, I just replay my high school memories in my head, and for the college ones… I didn't finish college, but I went. I just want to say congrats. Now you're about to start your life, you're about to make some money!"
