Atlantic recording artist Cardi B has released her long anticipated debut album, “Invasion Of Privacy,” which arrives at all DSPs today, Friday, April 6th. “Invasion Of Privacy” is today RIAA Gold certified in the USA – making Cardi B the first female artist to achieve a Gold certified album in the US on the day of its release.
The record-breaking album was heralded by surprise releases, “Be Careful” and “Drip” feat. Migos.” The album also features a blockbuster line up of appearances including Chance The Rapper, SZA, Migos, Kehlani, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, and YG.
The 2x Grammy Award-nominated rap superstar will celebrate the arrival of “Invasion Of Privacy” with a number of high profile US TV performances, beginning Saturday, April 7th when she joins host Chadwick Boseman as the musical guest for an eagerly awaited episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live (check local listings). Cardi will also join Jimmy Fallon as the first ever co-host in addition to being the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, April 9th.
Furthermore, Cardi B will also be celebrating “Invasion Of Privacy” by releasing a new line of merch, which can be found at her official webstore.
Cardi B will make a series of live concert performances throughout 2018, kicking off with her hugely anticipated debut at Indio, CA’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 15th and 22nd. Cardi will also head out with Bruno Mars on his final leg of the 24K Magic World tour with dates starting in September.
Cardi B recently released the long-awaited video for her platinum certified smash hit, “Bartier Cardi” ft. 21 Savage. The video – directed by famed artist Petra Collins – premiered during an episode of VH1’s Love and Hip Hop Atlanta and already boasts over 4 million views.
Cardi has featured on the covers of several publications over the past which include i-D Magazine, Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, and CR Fashion Book to name a few. Cardi B made history last year with the release of her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow.” The now 5x platinum smash hit spent three historic weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 – the first solo #1 by a female hip-hop artist in nearly two decades. Furthermore, “Bodak Yellow” is the #1 certified debut song in the last year and is one of the Top Ten certified songs released in the past year.
Undoubtedly 2017’s greatest hip-hop phenomenon, Cardi B followed “Bodak Yellow” with two massive hit singles, G-Eazy’s “No Limit (Ft. A$AP Rocky and Cardi B)” and “MotorSport” by Migos, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, both of which reached the top 10 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” and were swiftly rejoined by “Bodak Yellow” to make history as the first female rapper to land her first three entries in the chart’s top 10 as well as the first female artist to achieve the same on the “Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs” chart.”
As if that were not enough, with the release of “Bartier Cardi” and Bruno Mars’s “Finesse (Remix) [Feat. Cardi B],” the latter of which is now certified 2x platinum, Cardi B made history yet again, surpassing Beyoncé as the first woman to have five top 10 singles simultaneously on the “Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs” chart.
In addition to her recent iHeart Radio Music Awards triumph, Cardi B has received a stunning series of top honors, among them two GRAMMY® nods (for “Best Rap Performance” and “Best Rap Song”), two BET Awards nominations (for “Best New Artist” and “Best Female Hip Hop Artist”), a Soul Train Music Award, and five 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards including “Single of the Year,” “Best New Hip Hop Artist,” “Hustler of the Year,” “Made-You-Look Award,” and “Best Mixtape” (for “GANGSTA BITCH MUSIC, VOL. 2”).
