Cardi B Makes History With 6 Grammy Nods for Best Rap Performance
Cardi B’s journey to the top has been nothing short of remarkable. She first captured national attention with her debut album Invasion of Privacy, which produced two Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles: “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It,” featuring J Balvin and Bad Bunny. That milestone made her the first female rapper in history to notch two chart-topping hits on the Hot 100.

“I Like It,” a vibrant Latin trap anthem built around Pete Rodriguez’s 1967 song “I Like It Like That,” showcased Cardi’s fearless creativity and ability to blend genres. It also cemented her as a global force capable of breaking cultural barriers. Her rise to fame was as swift as it was historic. She became the first artist since Macklemore & Ryan Lewis in 2013 to earn two No. 1 hits from a debut album, and the first solo artist to do so since Bruno Mars in 2010.

Speaking about her upcoming project, Am I The Drama?, she reflected on how her life and career have evolved. “It’s like, does drama chase me, or am I the drama?” she told Apple Music. “I think I was born with a light that sometimes bothers people. It’s too bright, too loud. But it’s me.”
