In only a year Cardi B has become to Queen of Hip Hop. But, Cardi (Belcalis Almanzar) has been in the game since she was making “money moves” in the strip club at only 19 years old.

Her debut single, “Bodak Yellow” made music history reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Not only did Bodak Yellow go 5x platinum, but Cardi has the longest-running No.1 track by a solo female rapper and earned two nominations for the 2018 Grammy Awards. She also just recently released her fire new album, Invasion of Privacy.

Cardi may be known from her notorious instagram videos as the “hoe that never gets cold,” but she is the definition of GIRL POWER.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate her most iconic quotes:

“I don’t care about anyone not liking me, you bitches barely like yourselves.” (via twitter.com)
“Knock me down 9 times, but I get up 10.” (Get Up 10)

“Ain’t no more beefing, I’m just keeping to myself. I’m my own competition, I’m competing with myself.” (Best Life)
“I only f*** with people who are secure enough to be happy for me and hype me up. I don’t want any ‘friends’ who fall silent during my success.” (via twitter.com)
