Additionally, “Bodak Yellow” racked up six major music industry awards in 2018, including Single of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards and Favorite Song Rap/Hip Hop at the American Music Awards.Her debut studio album, “Invasion of Privacy,” is currently nominated for two GRAMMYs in 2019: Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. These are two of seven total GRAMMY nominations for Cardi B this year including nominations for Record of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Rap Performance, and Producer of The Year, Non-Classical.
