Cardi B surprises fans once again with the release of “Drip” featuring Migos; another track off her debut album, “Invasion Of Privacy.” Yesterday, Cardi B released the long-awaited video for her second single and now platinum-certified hit, “Bartier Cardi ft. 21 Savage,” directed by famed artist Petra Collins and premiered on VH1 during an episode of “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.”
The video comes shortly after the release of “Be Careful,” also off of “Invasion Of Privacy,” out this Friday, April 6th. Additionally, Cardi B was just announced as the first ever co-host and musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, April 9th. Cardi B – 2x GRAMMY ® Award-nominated rap superstar – will be the musical guest this week on NBC’s Saturday Night Live with host Chadwick Boseman on April 7th. Cardi B is also set to make her Coachella debut this year, performing on Sunday, April 15th and 22nd.
Cardi B recently won two iHeart Radio Music Awards for “Best New Artist” and “Best New Hip Hop Artist” following a knockout performance to open the show. She is currently featured on the April cover of Cosmopolitan after several recent cover appearances which include Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, i-D Magazine, and CR Fashion Book to name a few. Cardi B made history last year with the release of her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow.” The now 5x platinum smash hit spent three historic weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 – the first solo #1 by a female hip-hop artist in nearly two decades. Furthering her success, Cardi B’s most recent single, “Bartier Cardi (ft. 21 Savage)” is now certified gold.
Cardi B followed “Bodak Yellow” with two massive hit singles, G-Eazy’s “No Limit (Ft. A$AP Rocky and Cardi B)” and “MotorSport” by Migos, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, both of which reached the top 10 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” and were swiftly rejoined by “Bodak Yellow” to make history as the first female rapper to land her first three entries in the chart’s top 10 as well as the first female artist to achieve the same on the “Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs” chart.” As if that were not enough, with the release of “Bartier Cardi” and Bruno Mars’s “Finesse (Remix) [Feat. Cardi B],” which is now certified 2x platinum, Cardi B made history yet again, surpassing Beyoncé as the first woman to have five top 10 singles simultaneously on the “Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs” chart.
