Rap artist Cardi B has made history by becoming the first female rapper in 19
years to top the Billboard 100 chart without the help of any other credited
artist. Welcome back to What's Trending, I'm Martini Beerman. Make sure to LIKE and

B's "Bodak Yellow" beat out Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do,"
claiming the number one spot on the Billboard 100 this week. The last time a
female rapper topped the chart was in 1998 when Lauryn Hill made history with
her song "Doo Wop (That Thing). That thing, that thing, that thing... With the success of
Bodak Yellow, Cardi B is not only a chart topper, she's one of only five female
rappers to ever claim that number one spot.
But who is Cardi B? Where did she come from, and exactly how did she make it to
the top so quickly? Belcalis Almazar, otherwise known as Cardi B, was
born on October 11, 1992 in the Bronx, in New York City. At a young age, Cardi B
became a stripper, and in an interview in 2016, she explained how the money she
made from stripping enabled her to support herself which ultimately saved
her life.
In 2013, Cardi B started posting videos to Instagram and Vine, and very quickly
gained a following, because (to put it simply) the girl has no filter, has zero shame,
and is downright hilarious.
Just a couple of years later, Cardi B took on a role as a social-media influencer
full-time, which then enabled her to quit her job as a stripper. She's pretty much
living the dream. Her Instagram fame and sassy attitude caught the attention of
producers for the docu-series Love & Hip Hop: New York, and after being placed as a
cast member on the show, her fame actually outgrew the show itself. Despite
the skepticism, she released her debut single during her first season on Love &
Hip-Hop, called "Cheap Ass Weave," a remake of "Queen's Speech Ep4 (Brush Your
Teeth) by Lady Leshurr, which was surprisingly well received, and Cardi B's
rapping career was born. Which lead her to sign with Atlantic Records and release
her debut single, "Bodak Yellow."
The song is now at the top of the Hot 100 chart and Twitter is
celebrating. @sixthviews tweeted, "Bodak Yellow is the only song on the Billboard
Hot 100 to reach number one that I actually think is worth that spot,
finally." @snedward10 wrote, "Wow honestly truly I feel blessed to be
alive on the day when Cardi B has Bodak Yellow as the number one song in America
praise be to God! Even Nicki Minaj -- who is rumored to have beef with the rapper --
tweeted, "Congratulations to a fellow NEW YAWKA on a RECORD BREAKING achievement.
Bardi, this is the only thing that matters!!! Enjoy it."
Cardi B responded to Minaj's tweet saying, "Thank you!! This means so much
coming from you!!" See, nothing but love. The 24-year-old thanked her fans on
Instagram and posted this video.
So, what do you think about Cardi B? Is she a one-hit
wonder, or is she hip hop's new reigning queen?
