The relationship between the famous rapper Cardi B and her friend Star Brim, also known as Yonette Davis, is exceptional. Their friendship, which has weathered the storm of Star Brim’s legal troubles, has come to light in a significant way.
Star Brim’s legal history is tumultuous. She was initially sentenced in 2018 after pleading guilty to wire fraud. After her release in early 2019, she became pregnant with her first child. However, in 2020, she was caught up in a federal sweep of the New York Bloods Gang subset, 5-9 Brims. She faced various racketeering, narcotics, and firearms offenses, including murder and attempted murder.
Cardi B pays Star Brim legal fees and her unwavering support by paying for her friend was evident throughout these proceedings. It was during these challenging times that their friendship indeed came to light.
In a plea for a reduced sentence, Star Brim’s attorney, Isabelle Kirshner, highlighted her client’s turnaround since her arrest. She emphasized that Star Brim’s friendship with Cardi B significantly influenced this transformation. Star Brim’s Instagram presence grew substantially due to her friendship with Cardi B, and she developed skincare products, advertised other products, and became an ‘influencer,’ which allowed her to earn additional income.
In March 2024, Star Brim was sentenced to one year and one day in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to maim and assault in aid of racketeering. She will serve her time at the federal facility in Danbury, CT, starting on July 12. After her prison term, Star must serve three years of supervised probation.
Perhaps the most significant testament to their strong bond is that Cardi B paid $350,000 for Star Brim’s legal fees. This act of support is seen as a testament to their strong friendship.
In a world where celebrity friendships are often scrutinized and challenged, the bond between Cardi B and Star Brim is a reminder of the power of loyalty and friendship. Despite the legal troubles and the gossip, their friendship remains unbroken, proving that true friendship can weather any storm.
