Belcalis Almanzar (born October 11, 1992), professionally known as Cardi B (stylized as CΛRDI B), is an American rapper and songwriter, as well as a television and social media personality, and actress. Born and raised in the Bronx borough of New York City, she first embarked in a career as an exotic dancer and began to receive public attention as she built a large Internet following; coupled with her "no filter attitude" she became an internet celebrity through Instagram. In 2015, she became a regular cast member of the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York. In February 2017, she signed her first major label record deal with Atlantic Records. Her debut single for Atlantic, titled "Bodak Yellow", reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, with the New York Times calling it "the rap anthem of the summer"
Even though several online trolls tried to pit rapper, Nicki Minaj, against Cardi B, Nicki went on to congratulate Cardi B. ‘Women supporting other women’! Good for Nicki

'Congratulations to a fellow New Yawka': Taylor's rival Nicki Minaj, 34, took to Twitter to congratulate newcomer Cardi B on Billboard number one hit
Cardi Monday at Atlantic Records in NYC where she was celebrating her spot on the Billboard Hot 100 throne with champagne and shade ... which she hilariously threw at Taylor during a speech you gotta see.
Cardi's only the second female rapper to top the Hot 100 without featuring someone else on the song. Lauryn Hill was the last to do it with "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998.
Congrats, Cardi!
