The Bartier Cardi rapper took to social media to celebrate making history today.

Just a year after storming into the mainstream with her record-breaking single Bodak Yellow, the 25-year-old, who is due to give birth any minute now, is clearly not going anywhere as she becomes the first female rapper with two billboard Hot 100 No. 1s with I Like It and Bodak Yellow.

The heavily pregnant rapper has been dubbed hip hops fairy-tale princess thanks to her unlikely and quick rise to fame – and it seems the Cardi train is not slowing down for anybody.

Not even for Cardi, who has admitted she struggles with breathing in the last stages of pregnancy.
