Up and coming artist Cardi B has taken the world by storm this past summer with “Bodak Yellow,” named after rapper Kodak Black. Cardi’s flow on the song mirrors Kodak’s flow in his single “No Flocking.” While Kodak’s single only got to number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100, Cardi was able to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Cardi gained followers on Instagram for her funny videos, and she stole our hearts with her accent, boisterous personality and long decorative nails. Being the businesswoman that she is, Cardi flipped her Instagram from a hobby to a career. She gained more and more followers, which led to interviews and more intrigue about who she was and where she was from.

Cardi then got an offer to join the “Love and Hip-Hop” cast. Ratings soared and Cardi B was able to not only continue being herself, but also promote her music as well. This led to her dropping her first mixtape. She then gained a huge following because of her music. Cardi knew she had to make a big move and soon. This is when she decided to drop a second mixtape, which gained even more support. She then was in every car radio, on every timeline imaginable and even performed at the MTV Video Music Awards. Cardi B is a woman like no other. She has worked tirelessly to get to her position and this is only the beginning.
