Cardi B’s baby turns 3 on Tuesday (April 6). No, not her daughter Kulture, but her debut album Invasion of Privacy, and she’s celebrating with the BardiGang.
Her major-label debut LP with Atlantic Records is the gift that keeps on giving for the 28-year-old rapper, earning her a Billboard 200 No. 1, a 2019 Grammy for best rap album, a diamond-certified single “Bodak Yellow,” two Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles (“Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It” with Bad Bunny and J Balvin), and numerous record-shattering moments for a female rapper.
“Thank you everyone that’s been showing IOP love today .It feels like a birthday lols,” she wrote on Twitter. “I get real sweet and bittersweet memories when I listen to the album, I faced many challenges thru the process and after but the outcome was beautiful and successful. Love you forever.”

IOP was the top female rap album of the 2010s, according to the Billboard 200 Decade-End chart. Cardi charted 13 songs (12 from the album, minus “Bodak Yellow” after its three-week stint at the top) on the Hot 100, allowing her to pass Beyoncé for the most simultaneous titles on the ranking by a solo female. The outcome was beautiful and successful, indeed.
