Cardi B has arguably become a household name, as evidenced by her hosting of the 2021 American Music Awards on Sunday. After dominating the stage in ten different looks and her looks all kill ; a week after receiving another Grammy nomination, the “UP” femcee has reached another milestone! It was announced by the Recording Industry Association of America on Monday that breaking records Bardi has become the first female rapper to go diamond with not one but two Diamond-certified singles.
In fact, earlier this year, Cardi B became the first-ever female rapper to have a song achieve Diamond certification.

Additionally, she thanked Maroon 5 for enlisting her to deliver a verse on the song.
“Wow I got two Diamond records! Thank you sooo much @maroon5 for including me on this song and this is the song I cater to my daughter every time I perform it. I’m forever grateful”

It’s Twitter Official
Also a fan instructed that Cardi update her Twitter bio to reflect the new certifications, and the BX rhymer did just that. Instead of simply writing her accomplishment in her bio, the rapper changed her Twitter header to a photo of Penn Badgley from You with two diamond emojis over his eyes.
Cardi continues to make waves in a field dominated by men, paving the way for more women to enter mainstream markets. As a result, Cardi B of course landed another nomination for Best Rap Performance at the 2022 Grammys for her trendy track “Up”. If she takes home this win, it’s really UP!
