  The new sales totals bring the Grammy-award-winning rapper’s entire career digital sales to 54 million. 

Cardi B is the first female rapper to achieve this level of sales and certification. The 30-year-old recently shared a 10x Platinum spot with Nicki Minaj, who became the first female rapper to achieve that spot.   

According to reports, Until recently, the two wildly accomplished artists were tied for the title of ‘highest certified song’ by a female artist. Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Bass’ and Cardi B’s ‘I Like It’ and ‘Bodak Yellow’ had the only three female rap songs in history to achieve the RIAA’s Diamond Certification for sales of 10 million in the United States.  

Cardi B is now among four female artists who have reached or surpassed 11x’s platinum status – this includes Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’, Katy Perry’s ‘Dark Horse’, and Bebe Rexha’s ‘Meant to Be’.  

This should give the rapper another reason to celebrate. For her 30th birthday, she recently hosted a star-studded “Dirty Thirty Cabaret”.
