We love us some Cardi B! The former “Love & Hip Hop” star is on a fast track to super stardom as her hit song, “Bodak Yellow,” reached #1 on the Billboard charts, making history as the first female solo rapper to top the list since Lauryn Hill in1 998. Now if that’s not a bossy, money move, we don’t know what is.
