“IOP” has sold over 3 million units and was certified 3x Multi-Platinum back in 2019. The Bronx-bred rapper’s debut studio album set the tone for its eventual success on its debut, topping the Billboard chart. “IOP” then became the first female rap album to win the Best Rap Album award at the Grammys. It was also the most streamed female rap album in Spotify history.
Cardi B continued to rack up the historic accolades with “IOP” as “Bodak Yellow,” the lead single, became the first female rap song to be certified Diamond (10 million units).
While achieving major success with her first album, Cardi B continues to evolve as an artist, exploring her versatility on the remix of Summer Walker’s “Nove Love,” alongside SZA.
