Cardi B's Rise To The Top
The hip-hop artist, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, had her breakthrough in the music industry after the release of her hit song "Bodak Yellow." In August 2017, the song reached No. 2 on the US Billboard 100 charts. The rapper performed the song at the annual Power 105.1 Powerhouse, where she also got engaged to Offset, who is from the group Migos.
The "Bartier Cardi" rapper faced backlash from fans due to her relationship with Offset after the Migos member was caught cheating twice. Offset was then accused of impregnating an Instagram model.
Prior to her pregnancy announcement, the rapper made history when she released her first album, Invasion of Privacy, which was certified gold. The album also features the songs "Drip," "Money Bag," and "She Bad."
The rapper was also a star on the reality television series Love and Hip Hop: New York. Cardi joined the series in 2016 and left in 2017, and is considered one of the show's breakout stars.
