Recently named Billboard's "Woman Of The Year 2020" and featured on the covers of Interview magazine and XXL, Cardi B made history with the explosive success of last summer's blockbuster single, "WAP (Feat. Megan Thee Stallion)," available now at all DSPs and streaming services HERE. Currently certified 5x platinum by the RIAA, "WAP" debuted at #1 on the Billboard "Hot 100" upon its August release - Cardi's then fourth #1 single in the US, extending her record as the female rapper with the most #1 singles in "Hot 100" history and affirming her as the only female rapper to have reached #1 on the "Hot 100" in two different decades. The track - which went on to spend four weeks atop the "Hot 100" while also spending multiple weeks at #1 in Australia, Canada, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom - made further history as the first #1 single on the inaugural Billboard "Global 200," topping that chart for three weeks.

Cardi B's rambunctious spirit and brave tongue garnered instant online popularity, rapidly increasing her fan base. She has evolved into an entertainer, actress and a renowned rapper in just a short time. Cardi rose to rap success and fame, releasing her debut studio album INVASION OF PRIVACY in 2018. Cardi continues to be at the top of her game as the first woman with five simultaneous Top 10 hits on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart as well as the first female rapper with four Billboard Hot 100 #1s. Now a GRAMMY AWARD WINNING rap superstar, Cardi's 3x Platinum selling debut album INVASION OF PRIVACY debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album includes the Diamond certified classic "Bodak Yellow," and all 13 tracks on Invasion of Privacy have been RIAA certified Gold or higher - making Cardi the first female artist to achieve this feat. Cardi's single "Money" is now RIAA 4x Platinum certified, and her recent single "Press" is now RIAA certified Platinum.
