It’s (somehow) been more than a year since Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” made money moves right to the top of the Billboard Charts. The infectious summer 2017 anthem — and the rapper’s resulting meteoric rise to fame — are at least partly the reasons why Cardi B wasn’t nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy when the nominees were announced on Friday, Dec. 7.
Sure, it’s difficult to even remember a time when “Bodak Yellow” and subsequent hits like “Bartier Cardi” and “I Like It” weren’t in heavy rotation on everyone’s playlists. So “new artist” may have already seem to be a bit of a stretch to some fans anyway.
Even so, keep in mind that the Bronx native didn’t drop her debut, multi-platinum-selling album Invasion of Privacy until April 6 this year — just eight short months ago.
