Cardi B Ascends the Charts with “Bodak Yellow”

In the past month, rising rap sensation Cardi B has been making significant strides, aptly describing her journey as “money moves.” The artist, known for her assertive lyrics like “I be in and out them banks so much, I know they’re tired of me,” continues to leave an indelible mark as her Һit single “Bodak Yellow” gains momentum and steadily climbs the charts.

The title “Bodak Yellow” cleverly references rapper Kodak Black, serving as a nod to his 2014 debut single “No Flockin,” which inspired Cardi B’s chart-topping Һit. The song’s infectious rise has propelled it to the coveted No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hоt Rap Songs chart, solidifying Cardi B’s claims in her lyrics with the fastest ascent to the top for a debut since Psy’s viral sensation “Gangnam Style” in 2012.

As “Bodak Yellow” celebrates its two-month anniversary on YouTube, boasting over 77 million views, Cardi B’s electrifying performance at OVO Fest earlier this month further underscored the song’s impact. Although Cardi B already gained visibility through her appearances on VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: New York” in 2015 and 2016, “Bodak Yellow” continues its upward trajectory, leaving the rap world eager to catch up with the undeniable force that Cardi B has become.
