Skincare brand eos tapped Cardi B for voiceover work in a social, streaming, and YouTube campaign promoting its Fragrance Trifecta body-care routine alongside a roster of creator partners.
She took home three trophies — Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Best Hip-Hop Song ('ErrTime'), and Best Hip-Hop Album ('Am I the Drama?') — bringing her all-time AMA total to nine wins.
The debut headlining arena run sold 453,000 tickets across 32 North American cities and became the highest-grossing debut arena tour by a female rapper, with a first-ever $5M+ gross at a single venue (Madison Square Garden).
The line marks her first product launch under the April 2025 joint-venture deal with e-commerce retailer Revolve Group, which also encompasses forthcoming apparel and beauty lines.
Her long-awaited sophomore album sold 200,000 units in its first week — the biggest sales week for an R&B/hip-hop album by a woman in 2025 — and was later certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA, the highest-certified female rap album of the 2020s.

Cardi B — born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar in the South Bronx, New York — built her platform from the ground up, first drawing a following through raw, unfiltered Instagram videos before a stint on VH1's Love & Hip Hop: New York accelerated her visibility. Her 2017 debut single 'Bodak Yellow' reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first solo female rapper to achieve that distinction since Lauryn Hill in 1998. The 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy followed, winning the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album — a first for a solo female artist in that category. Her content style across Instagram and TikTok mirrors her public persona: candid, humor-driven, and deliberately unpolished, mixing behind-the-scenes tour footage, sponsored placements delivered in her recognizable voice, and direct-address posts that blur the line between celebrity and peer. As of mid-2026, her sophomore album 'AM I THE DRAMA?' marks a long-anticipated return to a full-length project.

AM I THE DRAMA? is Cardi B's current studio album, out as of 2026. The title leans into her long-running public persona as someone unafraid of confrontation and controversy, and she's been supporting it with the Little Miss Drama Tour while sharing behind-the-scenes footage on social media.
The Little Miss Drama Tour is Cardi B's concert tour tied to her album AM I THE DRAMA?. She's been documenting the experience on Instagram and TikTok, including costume breakdowns, reflections on life on the road, and partnership content shot during the run.
Yes, Cardi B is an official Mugler partner, confirmed through her social posts and branded hashtag use. She's specifically tied to the Angel Nova fragrance, posting that wearing it on tour has become emotionally meaningful to her — connecting the scent to memories from the road.
Angel Nova is a fragrance from Mugler, the French fashion house, and it sits at the center of Cardi B's partnership with the brand. She's described it as her signature scent during the Little Miss Drama Tour, saying the fragrance will always remind her of that time in her life.
Cardi B has partnered with Laka, a beauty brand built around a peel-define-glow lip care routine. She's featured them in multiple sponsored posts on Instagram, tagging the brand and describing the routine as a complete lip regimen in one step.
Cardi B's legal name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar. She grew up in the South Bronx, New York, and adopted the stage name Cardi B — widely understood as a play on the drink Bacardi — early in her public life on social media and reality TV.
Cardi B has two children: Kulture Kiari, born in 2018, and Wave Set, born in 2021, both with rapper Offset. She has spoken openly about balancing her career as a touring artist with motherhood and references her kids frequently across her platforms.
Before music, Cardi B worked as a stripper in New York City — something she has spoken about openly and without apology in countless interviews. She then built a following on social media and appeared on Love & Hip Hop before her 2017 single Bodak Yellow made her a mainstream breakout.
Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset in late 2023, marking one of the most high-profile splits in hip-hop that year. The two had been married since 2017 and share two children; the filing came after years of well-publicized relationship turbulence that played out largely in public on social media.
Cardi B was born and raised in the South Bronx, New York City, to parents of Dominican and Trinidadian heritage. Her New York upbringing is a central part of her identity and comes through in her accent, her humor, and the direct, unfiltered communication style that built her fanbase.
