The world clearly wants to see Cardi B drop more music.
Female rap is having another moment—and once again, Cardi B is leading the charge. This time, it’s with her explosive new single, “Outside.”
The high-energy anthem just debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first solo track by a female rapper to hit that mark since “Enough (Miami)”—which, yes, was also made by Cardi B.
This isn’t just another chart victory—it’s a clear statement: even after seven years without a full-length album, Cardi B’s grip on the rap game is as tight as ever. “Outside” blends fiery confidence with commanding bars, boosted by viral TikTok energy and massive radio play. It’s raw, it’s loud, and it’s Cardi at her most defiant—and most magnetic.
But the milestone raises a question worth asking: Is Cardi B the most popular female rapper in the world right now? Before answering too quickly, consider the landscape—Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and, of course, Nicki Minaj—all of whom are actively dropping hits and commanding attention in their own right.
It’s hard to argue against Cardi, though.
"Outside" becomes the first solo song by a female rapper to debut in the top 10 on the Hot 100 since "Enough (Miami)".
