Cardi B Becomes First Female Solo Artist To Win Best Rap Album At The Grammys

Cardi B made history Sunday night with the first Grammy win of her career. The rapper took home Best Rap Album for Invasion of Privacy, the first time in Grammys history that a solo female artist has won the award. Cardi is only the second woman to receive the honor; Lauryn Hill took home the award as a member of The Fugees in 1997 for the group’s album The Score. Taking the stage to accept her award, Cardi nervously joked, “Oh, the nerves are so bad. Maybe I need to start smoking weed.” The rapper also received love from Lil Kim and Remy Ma, with Kim tweeting, “Thank U Jesus!!!! Look at God 🙌🏽 Congratulations boo @iamcardib you deserve it!! So happy for you!” Congrats, Cardi! You deserve!
