And the burgeoning star just matched Nicki Minaj's biggest solo hit...

She ain't gotta dance, she makes money moves.

Cardi B might just make history with her debut single 'Bodak Yellow' as it reaches new heights on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.

The infectious track was a late entry to the race for song of the summer when it dropped mid-June but it has been the season's surprise runaway hit andhas hit a new peak ofnumber twoon this week's chart.

'Bodak Yellow' isthe first Top 10 solo hit by a female rapper since Nicki Minaj's 'Anaconda' three years ago and it has now reached itspeak, meaning if it goes number one then Cardi B would have the highest-charting female rap song in'years'.

To put things into perspective, 'Anaconda' is Nicki's highest-charting song and Cardi just matched it with her debut. It's MAJOR.

Taylor Swift is currently blocking 'Bodak' from topping the chart, although there's still a chance that Cardi could replace her as the single gains freshmomentum after she performed it at the 2017 MTV VMAs andannounced her forthcoming debut album.
