No one had a bigger come up in 2017 than Cardi B. From her former stripping days to Instagram and reality TV fame and a number one single on the Billboard Charts, Cardi B’s glow-up changed from an adjective to a verb in the matter of a hashtag.

Cardi’s song Bodak Yellow made her the second female rapper to top the Hot 100 (without any other billed artist) and strong features on songs like No Limit and Motorsport solidified her position as one of the most popular rappers in the game.

With her career thriving, Cardi also found love in Migos rapper Offset. The duo got engaged after Offset popped the question during live on stage.

Cardi’s reign doesn’t appear to be letting up anytime soon as she was nominated for two Grammy Awards.
