Her debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy (2018), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, broke several streaming records, was certified triple platinum by the RIAA and named by Billboard the top female rap album of the 2010s. Critically acclaimed, it won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, making Cardi B the only woman to win the award as a solo artist, as well as the first female rap artist in 15 years to be nominated for Album of the Year. It spawned two number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100; "Bodak Yellow", which made her the only female rapper to achieve a Diamond-certified song by the RIAA, and the second female rapper to top the chart with a solo output following Lauryn Hill in 1998, and "I Like It", which made her the first female rapper to attain multiple number-one songs on the chart. Her Maroon 5 collaboration "Girls Like You" made her the only female rapper to top the Hot 100 three times. "WAP", the lead single of her second album, made her the only female rap artist to achieve Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singles in two decades (2010s and 2020s). "Up", the following single, made her the only female rapper to achieve multiple Hot 100 number ones with solo songs, and extended her record as the female rapper with the most Hot 100 number-one singles as her fifth leader.
Recognized by Forbes as one of the most influential female rappers of all time, Cardi B is known for her aggressive flow and candid lyrics, which have received widespread media coverage. She is the highest-certified female rapper of all time on the RIAA's Top Artists (Digital Singles) ranking, also appearing among the ten highest-certified female artists. She is the female rapper with the most billion-streamers on Spotify, and became the first artist to top the inaugural Billboard Global 200. Her accolades include a Grammy Award, eight Billboard Music Awards, five Guinness World Records, five American Music Awards, eleven BET Hip Hop Awards and two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year awards. In 2018 Time magazine included her on their annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and in 2020, Billboard honored her as Woman of the Year.

Cardi B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope you feel the same when you see my face, you better pull up on me
Ain't no backin' down, prepared to shake, you better pull up on me
Now you wanna be my friend, no, you ain't safe, you better pull up, homie
Pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up on me
Pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up on me

When I walk in the door, I gets my dough
Then a bitch get low
I used to kill them poles, now I kill them shows
They don't like my growth, well fuck ya hoes
Yeah, 'cause all my bitches they be down with me
If I put a fifty, they gon' put a fifty
Every night, ask whose rendezvous
It was king of swingers and Ashanti with me
I had to go get it on some real shit
If you a real bitch, you gon' feel this
Every single nigga that came my way
I finesse and jug on some ill shit
So much people think they know my pussy
But no one can say they fucked
Please show me hoe facts
Name-drop, round 'em up
That bum bitch like to run her mouth
I swear to God I'ma lay her south
When I catch you on the side of town
My Guiseppe heels gonna stomp you out
I'm tired of playin', I'm tired of playin'
I'ma give you hell, you gon' think I'm Satan
I see you mad 'cause I'm 'bout to have this whole shit on lock

But when I run up, let them hands fly
I don't fuck around with no fuckin' clowns
Any niggas with me, they fuckin' hounds
Any bitches with me, they fuckin' down
So if you really 'bout it, then pull up now
You stuck, bitch, yeah

Anthony Luckett right, atlantic is covering up her talent, they wont let her put out real stuff cuz they know it wont do well cuz ppl don't like real stuff nomo, its sad, and the music she puts out now makes every1 think she has no talent, but i always tell ppl to go listen to her old stuff, she has talent and can spit, and can write. she had no help before she got big cuz she didn't have the money to get it. its atlantic and the industry that wont let her do her, they just want her to put out stuff that sells, and i hate that cuz it doesn't make her look good, like she putting out stuff the haters expect her to put out. i hope she sees the truth and goes independent soon, cuz the music she putting out bow aint her, its good, but it aint her, its the industry, the real artist in her, the real her is way better, and an actual rapper. and cardi dont even realize she being used, something gotta wake her up, but i pray about it
