Cardi Nabs #1 Spot

Cardi B knocked Taylor Swift out of the number 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

The first time in 19 years a female rapper has been #1 without features. Lauryn Hill was the only other to do so with “Doo Wop (That Thing).”

Many female rappers took to Twitter to congratulate her
