– blogged by: @ashleytearra

This is definitely the season of wins for Cardi B. The Bronx-bred raptress keeps coming up on win after win, and it’s only the beginning.

Forbes has just announced their 2018 ‘Hip-Hop’s Future Moguls’ list, and Cardi happens to be one of the ten to carry the honorable title.

Formerly known as the ‘Hip-Hop Cash Princes’, the list is most notable for recognizing artists under 30 who are making major moves in the Hip-Hop/Rap industry.

This year’s diverse lineup, alongside Cardi, features #PostMalone, #21Savage, #Lizzo, #WondaGurl, #LilPump, #TylertheCreator, #PlayboyCarti, #DaveEast, and #VicMensa.

The burgeoning talent blew up this summer with her breakout 2017 single, “Bodak Yellow”, peaking at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart. It held the top spot for three consecutive weeks, making it the longest-running chart-topper from a solo female rapper
in Hot 100 history.

“Bodak Yellow” has since gone three-times platinum, and it is nominated for ‘Best Rap Performance’ and ‘Best Rap Song’ at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.

Cardi B will also be joining Bruno Mars for a performance of their “Finesse” remix at the ceremony, which is set to air later this month.
