Cardi originally made history when “Bodak Yellow” went No. 1 and marked first time any woman rapper had a hit atop the chart since Lauryn Hill’s “Do Wop (That Thing)” in 1998.
Cardi isn’t just breaking new ground in the rap arena. She’s the first woman solo artist to have two No. 1 singles from a debut album since Lady Gaga did it with The Fame, released in 2008.
Cardi’s fans celebrated her latest achievement in the most extra way possible, with videos, GIFs, etc.
People reacting were especially thrilled because with this hit under her belt, naysayers can’t speculate about the rapper becoming a one-hit wonder.
