Cardi B

Rapper and entertainer Cardi B made her breakthrough debut in the late 2010s with a quick ascent to the top of the rap and pop charts. After an initial run of singles that made her the first female rapper in nearly two decades to top the Billboard Hot 100 with the hit "Bodak Yellow," she issued her Grammy-nominated, critically acclaimed debut album, 2018's Invasion of Privacy, which reached number one and broke additional records with the summer smash, "I Like It." Capping her whirlwind breakthrough era, she became the first solo female rapper to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album.
