In 4 days since the release of rapper Cardi B’s debut album titled, Invasion of Privacy . Atlantic Records has already announced that the album is a certified gold, with certainty that it’ll be platinum by the end of this week.  Fans are going crazy, many saying that the album is an instant classic.

What a year Cardi B has had In a two year time span, she's managed from being a random new cast member on Love & Hip Hop New York, to one of the biggest female stars in the world. Her humble beginnings helped shape her intriguing image known "to keep it real." So how did this proud exotic dancer end up on the cover of New York Magazine and Rolling Stone's "Hot Issue?"
