Offset and Cardi B
What makes Offset’s wife Cardi B bad is not just her curvaceous body and slick-talking
rap style, but it is her girl-next-door looks. Sure, the former stripper-turned-Grammy-award winner has stepped up her game since she dropped her hood anthem “Bodak Yellow,” but at any given time you can see her on social media with not a lick of make-up on — still beautiful. Authentic. Relatable. Bronx-all-day (if you will).
It is that “around the way girl” sexiness that has also raced her up the charts. Now grant
it, she might not look like everyone’s neighbor, but she embodies the familiar vibe that anyone from the hood understands. Shame on you for not living in the Boogie Down, where fly girls like Cardi make the urban jungle paradise.
The woman that got the Migos lead to lockdown is also a history maker.
Since her days as a reality star on Love & Hip Hop, she has become the first female rapper to nab the ASCAP Songwriter of the year (winning it twice), the first female rapper to be named Woman of the Year at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, the first female rapper with the most Billboard Hot 100 number one singles, the only female rapper to have a song certified Diamond by RIAA, the first female rapper to have a song that surpassed a billion streams on Spotify, the first woman in Hip Hop to have multiple billion-streamers on Spotify, and the only female rapper to top the global Spotify chart multiple times.
More history came last year when her song “WAP” became the biggest first-week streams for a song in the United States. Her album Invasion of Privacy was the top female rap album of the 2010s and was the longest-charting album by a female rapper on the Billboard 200, and made her the most-streamed album by a female rapper on Spotify. Invasion of Privacy also made her the first female rapper to win the GRAMMY Award for Best Rap as a solo artist and the first female rap album in 15 years to be nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Album of the Year.
