Up & It's Stuck: Cardi B Set To Receive The ASCAP Voice Of The Culture Award
Source: Courtesy / ASCAP Her resume just keeps getting longer! Yesterday (May 21st), the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) announced that multiplatinum, Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B will be honored with the distinguished ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award. The Bronx native made history in 2020 as the first woman to receive the esteemed ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Songwriter of the Year Award two years in a row. This added to her multiple ASCAP accolades, including eight ASCAP Pop Music Awards and a whopping 23 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards. Five years later, the world-renowned rapper returns to accept the ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award, which is presented to ASCAP members who have had a major influence on music and culture, to recognize their success as creators and change makers. Last year, 8x Grammy Award winner Usher was the recipient of the distinguished award. Cardi B is among the most significant musical artists of all time, regardless of genre, gender or generation. Among her seemingly endless list of accomplishments, she stands as the highest-certified female rapper of all time on the RIAA's 'Top Artists (Digital Singles)' ranking, the female rap artist with the most RIAA diamond certifications, and the only female rapper with multiple billion-streamers on Spotify. On the platform, her chart-topping, Grammy-winning, four-times RIAA platinum-certified debut album, Invasion of Privacy , remains the most-streamed album by a female rap artist to date. All 13 tracks on Invasion of Privacy are now certified at least platinum, and the smash 2018 album also includes the history-making diamond-certified 'Bodak Yellow.' With an extensive list of awards, nominations and high-profile honors, Cardi B's additional nods include nine total Grammy Award nominations, eight Billboard Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, five Spotify One Billion Streams Awards, six American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, three iHeartRadio Titanium Awards, six BET Awards, 14 BET Hip Hop Awards, inclusion on TIME 's 'TIME100: The 100 Most Influential People of 2018,' being named Entertainment Weekly 's 2018 'Entertainer of the Year' and Billboard 's 2020 'Woman of the Year,' along with countless other triumphs. In 2021, she was named Playboy 's first-ever Creative Director in Residence and founding member of Playboy 's creator-led platform. Since then, Cardi B has been featured on chart-topping singles including platinum-certified 'Tomorrow 2' with GloRilla and gold-certified 'Put It on the Floor' with Latto. In 2024, Cardi B came out swinging with dual releases 'Like What (Freestyle)' and 'Enough (Miami),' before collaborating on Rob 49's 'On Dat Money' and Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla's 'Wanna Be (Remix).' 'Cardi B has left an indelible mark on the culture of hip-hop by redefining and challenging the norms for women,' said ASCAP Chairman of the Board and President Paul Williams. 'Having broken through countless barriers with her unapologetic authenticity and talent, she continues to use her voice to advocate for and inspire others, a true testament to her undeniable impact. We are proud to present Cardi B with this year's ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award.' Cardi will be presented with the award at a private, invitation-only event celebrating ASCAP's top hip-hop, R&B and gospel songwriters on Sunday, June 8th in Los Angeles. HUGE CONGRATS TO CARDI B!

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs hard-launch their new romance with some Playoffs PDA
Cardi B, amid her ongoing divorce with Migos rapper Offset, has found a new flame: NFL star Stefon Diggs. The Grammy-winning 'Invasion of Privacy' artist and New England Patriots wide receiver brought their romance front, center and courtside on Monday at Madison Square Garden, where they watched the New York Knicks face off against the Boston Celtics in game four of their 2025 NBA Playoffs series. The game, where the Knicks won 121-113 following Celtics star Jayson Tatum's devastating injury during the final quarter, marked the pair's first public outing. Cardi B and Diggs first sparked dating rumors in February when TMZ published video of the pair arriving at a Miami hotel during Valentine's Day weekend. In April, they were spotted together again partying it up at a Manhattan nightclub. Photos of the 32-year-old rapper dancing on the 31-year-old athlete spread online and even resulted in a supportive response from Cardi's ex. Responding to an Instagram user who joked 'Offset [is] punching air' about Cardi B's new relationship, Offset commented, 'I'm happy for her !!' The couple were also seen leaving the 2025 Met Gala together and holding hands. During Monday's outing, Cardi held Digg's face and the NFL pro had his arm around the rapper's shoulders. They were also seen holding hands as they exited the Garden. Bad Bunny, Tina Fey, Ben Stiller, Busta Rhymes, Mary J. Blige and, of course, Spike Lee were also among the celebrities who attended Monday's game. Cardi B signaled she was entering a new chapter of her personal life last August when she announced she was pregnant with her third child. 'With every ending comes a new beginning,' she said in an Instagram post. She welcomed the baby girl in September and also shares 6-year-old daughter Kulture and 2-year-old son Wave with her estranged husband. The Migos rapper, 32, has three other children from previous relationships. The 'Hustlers' actor announced her pregnancy as several outlets reported that she and Offset were headed for divorce — again. Cardi B first filed to divorce Offset in 2020 but withdrew the petition a couple of months later. In her August announcement, the musician said her then-incoming child 'brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!' She added: 'It's so much easier taking life's twists, turns and tests laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it's worth it to push through!'
