Summer 2017 belonged to Cardi B’s debut single “Bodak Yellow,” which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and has 320M+ YouTube views and counting. Her sharp-witted, off-the hook Instagram videos and Twitter posts lead the Bronx native to appear on the reality series Love & Hip Hop: New York. After building a huge following, the former stripper who now “don’t gotta dance” dropped two mixtapes in under a year. Her loyal fans helped those reach the ears at Atlantic Records, who signed Cardi B in 2017 and released the massive “Bodak Yellow.” With 13M+ Instagram followers, Cardi B is a bona fide superstar, leading a New York magazine cover story to declare, “Cardi B Was Made to Be This Famous.”
