American rapper Cardi B on Monday created history by becoming the first female to win the Best Rap Album award at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.
Cardi B's smashing debut Invasion of Privacy was nominated in the highly competitive category of Mac Miller's Swimming, Nipsey Hussle's Victory Lap, Pusha T's Daytona and Travis Scott's Astroworld.
"I want to thank my daughter. I'm not just saying thank you because she’s my daughter. It’s because, you know, when I found out I was pregnant, my album was not complete, like three songs that I was for sure having. And then you know, you know how it was, we was like, we have to get this album done so I could still do videos while I’m still not showing. And it was very long nights," the rapper said while accepting the award onstage.
While Cardi's the first woman to win the award for a solo act, Lauryn Hill grabbed the best rap album award in 1997 as part of the Fugees for The Score.
