After breaking out in 2017, Cardi B became an instant star thanks to her hit song “Bodak Yellow”. Her bold, sexy persona and unapologetic candor made her a household name. She drops quotable Cardi B wisdom in almost every sentence, and she has become a major presence on social media. Her epic Instagram rants have also fueled her meteoric rise.
Cardi B’s debut single “Bodak Yellow”
Bodak Yellow is a song by American rapper Cardi B. It was released on January 12, 2018 and topped the charts in three countries. It was the lead single from Cardi’s debut album, “Sweet Sexy Money.” It has gone on to receive multiple Grammy nominations, including Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. Cardi B also recently performed “No Limit” with G-Eazy on Jimmy Fallon’s show.
After Bodak Yellow’s release, the rapper had already established a fan base. She performed the track at numerous day parties and throwbacks. This song became a rallying cry for her fans, and she even bought a burnt orange Bentley to drive it around. Cardi B’s first single was such a hit, it has become a staple in the summer playlist.
The song’s success has led to several more songs by Cardi B. The RIAA has certified “Bodak Yellow” as a septuple platinum single, which means that it has sold seven million copies worldwide. The song has also made the top five in other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, France, and Germany. This means that the “Bodak Yellow” album has become one of the biggest selling singles of all time.
The rise of “Bodak Yellow” can be considered a democracy in action. The public has declared it a jam, and Cardi B is no longer a slave to the expectations of the music industry. “Bodak” was not the flop she had expected. No one ever thought a rapper could top a Taylor Swift song, but her debut single, “Bodak,” has earned her a place in pop culture as a major pop star.
While her success is still unrivaled by other female rappers, Cardi’s breakthrough single is already making waves in the music industry. It has hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first solo female rapper to achieve this feat in almost 19 years. She has already received praise from rap royalty, including Missy Elliott and Offset. The rapper also tweeted an impromptu cover of SZA’s “Love Galore.” SZA has since praised the remix and Quavo has claimed that Cardi will be on the Migos Culture 2 album.
Her relationship with Offset
If you’ve been following the news, you’ve undoubtedly seen some headlines about Cardi B and Offset. Offset is filthy rich and Cardi B is currently enjoying her peak of fame. The two recently announced their separation five days before their third wedding anniversary. However, despite their apparent happiness, their relationship has been turbulent. The rapper and her actor husband have split up at least twice in their three-year relationship.
Cardi B and Offset’s relationship has been in turmoil for many years, as the rapper has been rumored to have an affair with Offset. Offset and Cardi B were married secretly for three years before the split – but they recently went public with their baby boy Kulture Kiari Cephus. Offset’s previous relationships have reportedly contributed to the rumor that the two are dating.
According to sources, the couple split after the rapper allegedly cheated on Cardi, causing the rapper to lose her mind. But, what does this mean for Offset? Offset has admitted to driving Cardi crazy by using dick hypnosis on her. As a result, the couple has gone back to being together when Cardi was horny. This relationship has definitely landed Cardi B in hot water, but will the two ever be able to move on?
The two’s relationship has been in the spotlight since summer 2017, when Offset presented Cardi with jewelry. Their relationship became more popular as Offset began to attend Grammy Awards. Offset’s Instagram story was also full of photos of his wife wearing his jewelry. They will now get married in September. In the meantime, Cardi B continues to be insanely successful in her own right, as evidenced by her latest success.
The two started dating in late 2016 and married in September 2017. They met at the Super Bowl LI in Houston, and later announced they were expecting their first child, Kulture. Their relationship was on the rocks until they decided to call it quits for the sake of their daughter Kulture. The two reconciled two months later and are now parenting Kulture together. Despite the drama, the couple remain close and remain good friends.
Her appearance on red carpets
We’re all familiar with Cardi B, whose recent appearances on red carpets have caught our attention. She’s no stranger to the spotlight, but what is her secret? This rap star’s sultry style is making her a star. During a recent appearance at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, she wore an elaborate ensemble by Thierry Mugler, complete with head-to-toe sequins, a sultry bustier, sleek gloves, and a feather-trimmed cape.
When it comes to her red carpet looks, Cardi is known for taking fashion risks and often stuns her fans. Her black gown with cutouts and a plunging hip-high slit, which she teamed with pearl and black strappy heels, was the perfect combination for an AMAs appearance. Fans were delighted with Cardi’s style. And if we’re talking about Cardi’s style in everyday life, she never fails to impress.
After giving birth to her second child, Cardi B went on the red carpet in Paris for the opening of the Thierry Mugler exhibition at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. In a dramatic red gown by the French designer, she turned heads in a dazzling sequinned ensemble. She finished off her look with matching fingernail gloves and gold chandelier earrings.

After giving birth to her second child, Cardi B was seen out in public for the first time since her first. Her baby boy was born in the hospital on September 4, and the couple was excited to welcome him to the world. Offset and Cardi B were married the same year and began dating in 2017.
Her political activism
With multiple No. 1 hits and deep Bronx roots, Cardi B is an extremely powerful female MC with an equally powerful message. But outside of spitting bars, she’s just as passionate about politics. She’s been outspoken about her political activism even before she rose to fame, and she’s recently made her voice heard on presidential debates. Here are some of her most notable political posts.
In the past, Cardi B has been vocal about her political stances, from the government shutdown to rap beef with her sister. But her political activism has also led to a recent controversy, as her high school AP History teacher, Joan Hill, attacked her intelligence in a podcast. But she later defended her sister and called for her detractors to “take a seat.”
The rap superstar has been the subject of much discussion about her ancestry, especially because she often refers to herself as black or Afro-Latina. A doctoral student at Penn noted that public perceptions may link a nation’s race to a single-race profile, as a Dominican Republic and Trinidad and Tobago are considered multiracial.
This recent video has spawned an unprecedented amount of digital commentary, from the mainstream media to Twitter users. Cardi B’s political activism has garnered more attention than the video itself. The social media commentariats, who are naturally connected to the cultural sentiments of their audience, are a great source for breaking news. And her raw delivery have earned her legions of fans.
