Cardi B Does Something No Female Rapper Has Ever Done

by HHL JT

The rise of Cardi B from skinny stripper to fully-formed femcee has been one of the big Hip Hop sagas of the last several years.

We just got another affirmation of her meteoric ascent.  Bardi's break-out 2017 track "Bodak Yellow" has gone diamond, making her the first female rapper ever to have a single with 10 million sales.

US Certifications (@RIAA): @iamcardib, Bodak Yellow Diamond (10,000,000).

The diamonds may continue for Mrs. Migo.  "I Like It" is already at the nine million mark and her recent single "WAP" is around five million.

When (and if) Cardi drops her sophomore album, do you think she can continue her success?
