Share
After becoming the first female rapper to have a song reach Diamond status (RIAA 10x Platinum), GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum selling superstar Cardi B is breaking her own record with the 11x Platinum RIAA certifications of smash hits “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It (With Bad Bunny and J Balvin).”
Each boasting billions of global streams and well over 1 billion official video views, the certifications come on Cardi’s 30th birthday October 11, 2022.
Along with recent features on fan-favorite tracks such as Kay Flock’s “Shake It (feat. Cardi B, Dougie B & Bory300),” hailed by Billboard as “a hip-hop banger” and named as one of their “50 Best Songs of 2022 So Far,” and GloRilla’s “Tomorrow 2,” currently the #1 trending music video on YouTube, Cardi B has continued momentum with the summer heater “Hot Shit (Feat. Ye & Lil Durk).”

Produced by GRAMMY Award nominee Tay Keith (Drake, Travis Scott, Lil Nas X), “Hot Shit” marked Cardi B’s first solo single in over a year, following the RIAA 2x platinum certified “Up,” which peaked at #1 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” upon its February 2021 release – her fifth chart-topping solo single, extending her Guinness World Record as the female rapper with the most #1 songs in “Hot 100” history and making history as the first female rap artist to earn two #1 singles unaccompanied by any other artist.
