With kids going back to school all over the country, a group of students in The Bronx got a special surprise on Tuesday from beloved rapper Cardi B.

The 29-year-old rapper (born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) returned to I.S. 232 in Brooklyn’s Morris Heights neighborhood, where she attended elementary school.

She not only surprised the students with her appearance, but also donated a whopping $100K to the school.

‘A lot of the teachers were really tough on me because they saw something in me,’ the rapper said.

‘I was like a bad kid, but I was very special to a lot of these teachers and I still got them in my heart,’ she added.

While her appearance was planned, the $100K donation seemingly caught everybody by surprise, according to the New York City Department of Education.

The organization shared a video of her speaking at the event about her upbringing, and sharing the wisdom she wish she had when she was growing up.

‘This is what we mean when we say “representation”. @iamcardib spoke about growing up in a low income neighborhood and viewing her education as a way out,’ their tweet read.

‘We appreciate her raw authenticity and look forward to sharing more with you all about her visit! #Cardi,’ the organization continued.
