Earlier this year, the singer revealed she was thinking about returning to acting following the birth of her child, saying it would be easier to focus on being a mother. Recently, Cardi was seen in Rita Ora’s video for the controversial ‘Girls’ which also featured Charli XCX and Bebe Rexha. The track faced a backlash from the LGBTQ+ community with pop singer Hayley Kiyoko and R&B artist Kehlani criticising the track for being “downright tone-deaf.”<doc-sep>Cardi B did it again. The Latina rapper, who blessed fans with the summer banger "Bodak Yellow" last year, claimed the summer was hers with another No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Cardi's latest single, "I Like It," featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin, moved up to the top spot on Billboard's most popular chart Tuesday. While a number of Cardi's songs have appeared on the chart, "I Like It" marks her second time topping the list. Her position on the chart is the first time a woman has scored two Hot 100 No. 1 singles. When Cardi first snagged the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart in October 2017, she made history by becoming the second solo female artist to achieve the feat. Lauren Hill was the first one to do so with 1998's hit "Doo Wop (That Thing)." "I Like It" also marks the first time Bunny and Balvin have received No. 1 recognition on the Hot 100 chart. The song appeared on Cardi's debut album, Invasion of Privacy, released in April, and was an instant favorite with fans. The half-Spanish record was a sample of the Pete Rodriguez's 1967 hit, "I Like It Like That." The song was reworked by Latino artists a number of times, most memorably in a 1997 cover—simplified to "I Like It"—by The Blackout Allstars. That version claimed the chart's No. 25 spot after its release, Billboard reported. Puerto Rican musician Tito Nieves also recorded a solo cover of the song, and "I Like It Like That" appeared in the 1994 movie of the same name, starring Jon Seda and Lauren Vélez. In addition to being the first female artist to secure two No. 1's on the chart, the soon-to-be mother is the first artist to achieve the honor from a debut album since Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's 2013 alum The Heist. Both singles, "Thrift Shop," featuring Wanz, and "Can't Hold Us," featuring Ray Dalton, landed on the list that year.<doc-sep>Cardi B is making chart moves as well as money moves. The 25-year-old rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, has become the first female rapper to have two number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100. A pregnant Cardi celebrated her historic feat in an Instagram video while riding in a car with her husband, Offset. "Number one. Ahh, I’m so excited!!!" she screamed. "'I Like It' went number one, number one on the Hot 100. I’m so excited. Now we just waiting on baby girl." Cardi and Offset are expecting their daughter later this month. Cardi’s “I Like It,” featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin, moves up from number two to number one, changing places with last week's top song, “Sad!” by XXXTentacion. Cardi previously reached number one with her debut hit, “Bodak Yellow,” which remained at the top of the chart for three weeks beginning October 7, 2017. Only four other female rappers previously topped the Hot 100: Lauryn Hill with "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998' Lil' Kim on "Lady Marmalade" with Christina Aguilera, Mya and P!nk in 2001; Shawnna, as a featured artist on Ludacris' "Stand Up" in 2003; and Iggy Azalea with "Fancy" featuring Charli XCX in 2014. Cardi B is the only female solo artist with two Hot 100 number ones from a debut album this decade, and the first since Lady Gaga in 2009. The rapper recently confirmed that she and Offset, a member of the hip hop group Migos, were secretly married last year. Last week, they feted their first child together at a lavish baby shower featuring a decadent layered cake, a book library and a live band.<doc-sep>
Cardi B fans collectively said “I Like It” to the rapper’s new song with Bad Bunny and J Balvin, propelling this hip-hop star to a new record. She is now the first female rapper to land two No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between “I Like It” and “Bodack Yellow (Money Moves).” Cardi B has been celebrating on social media since the news dropped. “I’m so happy, I’m so excited,” she says in a video on Instagram that gets a tad NSFW towards the end. “I can not believe that ‘I Like It’ is No. 1.” The rapper mentions how she “slept on this record because two verses on this song… is in Spanish and I figured not all my fans know Spanish, but it’s like, this is the song! Y’all made it happen!” “I Like It” is a revamp of Pete Rodriguez’s “I Like It Like That.” The 1967 song was also remixed in 2015 by The Blackout Allstars as “I Like It (Like That).” The latest chart-topper for Cardi B marks another achievement for the rapper behind Invasion of Privacy. According to Billboard, she’s the first artist to land two Hot 100 No. 1 songs from a debut album since the days of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ The Heist. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny and Balvin are celebrating their first song to hit No. 1. It’s definitely been the summer of Cardi B. In addition to “I Like It,” she’s popped in for music videos with Maroon 5 (“Girls Like You“) and Jennifer Lopez (“Dinero“).
