20 Oct Sex worker Cardi B at the top of Billboard Top 100
Cardi B topped the Billboard charts with Bodak Yellow and made history as the first female rapper in almost 20 years to claim the No. 1 spot without any other credited artist.
Her success marks an important victory in terms of representation. As a woman of colour from a sex work background, Cardi B’s rise to the top is a narrative worth celebrating.
In a society where sex work is so stigmatised and largely criminalised, Cardi B’s visibility is everything.
