\nIt’s not every day that you’re being considered for one of the biggest honors in music, and Cardi B’s reaction to being nominated for five Grammys for the very first time came when she probably least expected to hear the news. On Friday, Dec. 7, a reporter first informed the \u00ab\u00a0Bodak Yellow\u00a0\u00bb hitmaker that she was up for not one, but five different awards, just moments after she appeared in court for assault and reckless endangerment charges and was ordered to stay from two women she allegedly assaulted. Elite Daily reached out to Cardi B’s team for further comment on the ruling, but did not hear back by the time of publication. It was a less-than-ideal moment, but Cardi B’s totally candid response to learning the news is so hilarious because it’s classic Cardi.
On Friday afternoon, the rapper took to Twitter and Instagram to share the video along with a tongue-in-cheek reference to the whole situation.
\u00ab\u00a0This is not How expected to find out I\u2019m nominated for a Grammy\u2026\u00a0\u00bb Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, captioned the Twitter video with laughing and sad face emojis. \u00ab\u00a0I need a do over.\u00a0\u00bb
In the video, Cardi’s face registered absolute shock when a reporter told her that she’d been nominated for Grammy Awards as she was leaving the courtroom. \u00ab\u00a0I am?\u00a0\u00bb she asked, repeating herself with a big smile on her face. After a moment, she asked the room, \u00ab\u00a0How many nominations?\u00a0\u00bb
After learning that she’d bagged not one, but five Grammy noms for the first time ever, Cardi B went into celebration mode, sticking her tongue out, pumping her fist, and shouting one of her Cardi-isms, \u00ab\u00a0Oweee!\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0What a way to find out i got 5 Grammys nominations\u2026 I\u2019m telling you my life is a movie. I work my ass off for this!\u00a0\u00bb she captioned the video on Instagram. \u00ab\u00a0Win or not at least [sic] i know i had a chance and people was watching and admiring my work. Im Soo happy! THANK YOU!\u00a0\u00bb
Earlier that morning, a judge ordered Cardi B to stay away from the two waitresses she allegedly assaulted at a strip club earlier this year. Reports claimed that the rapper had suspicions that her husband, Migos’ Offset, was having an affair with one of the women, and a video reportedly captured the songstress throwing an ice water bucket. Elite Daily reached out to Cardi B’s representation for comment on the allegations, but did not hear back at the time of publication.
The Grammys announcement comes just days after news broke that Cardi B and her husband had called it splits. The Bronx native made the report official with an Instagram video on Dec. 5 that she’s since-deleted.
She said in the video:
\u00ab\u00a0I guess we grew out of love,\u00a0\u00bb she continued. \u00ab\u00a0But we’re not together anymore. I don’t know, it might take time to get a divorce. And I’m always gonna have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter’s father. And yeah.\u00a0\u00bb
Offset’s short but blunt comment on the video had fans scratching their heads. \u00ab\u00a0Y’all won,\u00a0\u00bb he wrote, which was followed by a totally unnecessary apology from Offset’s alleged mistress, Summer Bunni, saying she didn’t \u00ab\u00a0know how serious\u00a0\u00bb Cardi and Offset’s marriage was. I know, I’m still confused over that one. Elite Daily previously reached out to Cardi B and Offset’s teams for comment on the claims of infidelity made in the video, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
Needless to say, it’s been a tough couple of days for Cardi, but something tells me that the \u00ab\u00a0I Like It\u00a0\u00bb chart topper got her \u00ab\u00a0do over\u00a0\u00bb later on Friday night when she performed at the Z100 Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden.
She closed out her Dec. 7 set with a rendition of her OG hit, \u00ab\u00a0Bodak Yellow,\u00a0\u00bb reportedly telling the audience, \u00ab\u00a0I\u2019m gonna perform this song until the day I die.\u00a0\u00bb It’s fitting as \u00ab\u00a0Bodak Yellow\u00a0\u00bb was nominated for Rap Song of the Year and Rap Performance of the Year. Cardi was also nominated for Album of the Year for Invasion of Privacy and Record of the Year for \u00ab\u00a0I Like It.\u00a0\u00bb
It looks like Cardi B is ready to move on from the personal drama and celebrate the fact that she’s slaying the career game, Okurr?<\/p>\n
