Cardi B

Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar (born October 11, 1992), known professionally as Cardi B, is an American rapper and songwriter. She is known for her aggressive flow and candid lyrics. Born and raised in New York City, she became an internet celebrity by achieving popularity on Vine and Instagram. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular cast member on the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York, which depicted her pursuit of her music aspirations, and released two mixtapes: Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 1 (2016) and Vol. 2 (2017).

Her first studio album, Invasion of Privacy (2018), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was named the number-one female rap album of the 2010s by Billboard. Critically acclaimed, it made Cardi B the only woman to win the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album as a solo artist, and marked the first female rap album in 15 years nominated for Album of the Year. It spawned two number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100; with “Bodak Yellow“, Cardi B became the first female rapper to achieve a diamond-certified song by the RIAA and the first to top the Hot 100 with a solo output in 19 years, while “I Like It” marked the first time a female rapper attained multiple number-one songs on the chart. Her Hot 100 number-one collaboration “Girls Like You” with band Maroon 5 made her the only female rapper to achieve multiple diamond-certified songs by the RIAA. She has since released two singles from her upcoming second album— “WAP” (2020) and “Up” (2021), both of which topped the Hot 100 and other charts globally.
