Cardi B has thanked her fans for their support after her latest single Up debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
The 28-year-old rapper has admitted the chart feat is a major deal for her, as she insisted this is the kind of stuff that only happens to ‘pop girls’.
The US megastar also noted that the last solo rapper to have a track debut in the top five of the US chart was Lauryn Hill with Doo Wop (That Thing), which was released in 1998.

Meanwhile, Cardi recently hailed Up as ‘more cocky’ compared to her ‘very 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual’ hit WAP.
In the music video for the song, Cardi bids farewell to 2020 with a funeral for the unprecedented year with a gravestone with ‘RIP 2020’ on its face.
She also locked lips and tongues with a group of female dancers in the racy video.
During an interview for Apple Music, Cardi noted that didn’t want to repeat herself and recreate another WAP – which features Megan Thee Stallion – while she insisted the goal was to create ‘something more gangster.’
She said: ‘I wanted to do something really different. It took me more than a month …we started rehearsing in December for this moment …The grind don’t stop.’

The hitmaker added, ‘I thought that my last song was more 𝓈ℯ𝓍y … I wanted to do something more gangster, more cocky.
‘My last song was very 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual, very 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual. So I always want my next songs to be different than the one before. If a topic on one of my songs is money, the other topic I want it to be about something else,’ she elaborated.
Cardi then spoke about her love for the Chicago Drill scene, and stated that its thematic material was particularly appealing to her.
