Congratulations to Cardi B! The chart-topping rapper took home the ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Award for the first time.  She is now the first female rapper to receive this honor, which recognizes the songwriter who has written or co-written the greatest number of most-performed songs of the year. Cardi took the music world by storm with her 2017 breakthrough “Bodak Yellow” and continued to dominate the charts with hits such as “Bartier Cardi” (ft. 21 Savage), “Ring (ft. Kehlani),” ”I Like It” and more.
