Artist of the Week: Cardi B
Settling under our artist of the week spotlight is the rap phenomenon, Cardi B. The star’s created an impressive dent in the Hip Hop landscape, one that’s grown even more prominent with the release of her fiery track, ‘WAP’ featuring Megan Thee Stallion. This tune has gone on to bring home multiple victories for both stars, further making Cardi a household name in the male-dominated rap world.
Cardi for one, has been in the game for a while and she’s carved out a unique space for herself in the industry. The focal point of every rap piece is its lyrics, and Cardi scores all stars there too. Between discussing the harsh realities of life, social issues or just being plain sassy – Cardi B has a way with words. And so, we figured we’d take you on a wild ride, looking back on some of the star’s sassiest, boldest lyrics.

And a new crib for my daughter
You know a bad bitch gon’ spoil her’
