It was no surprise when BET announced that Cardi B was nominated for multiple awards for the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper ended up taking home the awards for Hustler of the Year, Single of the Year, and Best New Artist.
She also performed the No. 1, platinum single with her own Bronx flair. For Cardi’s performance, the backdrop of the stage was a bodega, while the rapper stole the show in a huge coat and diamond bralette. “Bodak Yellow” recently beat Lauryn Hill’s record for the longest running No. 1 single from a solo woman rapper.
