With the song “Up”, which she played at the Grammy Awards a week ago, Dominican-born rapper Cardi B set a new record by hitting the number 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 for the fifth time.
His response was jubilant: “I want God to come and see me in my dreams when I take my nap today so I can kiss his feet and tell him how much I love him! Yoooooo shit is awesome yoooooo. I have no words. Actually I have a lot of words, but I can’t write them all NUMBER 1 !!!!! “
28-year-old Cardi is the first rapper to have two number 1s in this category without the cooperation of another artist.
In addition, he has five other songs that have made it to the Hot 100, including ‘Bodak Yellow’ in 2017, ‘I Like It’ with Bad Bunny and J Balvin in 2018, ‘Girls Like You’ with Maroon 5 in 2018 and ‘WAP’ with Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
A week ago he obtained a record that, in his words, changed his life. She became the first rapper to win an award from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
