Furthermore, on her last night of freedom, she was seen with Cardi B. The rapper also started an Instagram Live before her arrest and spoke a few words of encouragement for her friend, Brim.

Getting all emotional, Cardi B said:

“This is a reset. Cuz when she graduates from big girl school, it’s going to be a whole brand new everything. It’s like we have grown up. You have become such a different person, and it’s just like, I really want people to hear her story and it’s so inspirational.”

Further in the live session, Cardi was seen getting teary-eyed, as she then asked her friend to “cut the camera.”
