Grammy-winning rapper, Cardi B, has disclosed that she is still raking in “millions” of dollars from her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy”, despite the project being half a decade old.
Cardi B was surprised with gifts from her team on Wednesday, April 5, ahead of the fifth anniversary of her album’s release. In a video shared on her Instagram Stories, Cardi was seen in the studio with her producer, J. White Did It, and engineer, Evan LaRay, as she expressed excitement over the bottle of wine, strawberry cupcakes, and a cake with the inscription, “Happy 5th Anniversary”. An “Invasion of Privacy” vinyl and a CD copy of the album were also seen resting on a bouquet of flowers.
Cardi B exclaimed in the clip, “What my team got me, guys! Yeah! Five years! I’m still getting booked for millions of dollars with one muthafuckin’ album, bitch! Yeah, wassup? Ain’t nobody can tell me nothing,” she added with a laugh.
Cardi B released “Invasion of Privacy” on April 6, 2018, and it became an instant hit. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 250,000 first-week sales. It has since become certified triple platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).
The album won Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards, beating other projects. It received critical acclaim for its content and overall quality.
In March 2021, Cardi B became the first female rapper to earn a diamond song with “Bodak Yellow.” She has since extended her record with two more diamond-certified singles.
“Invasion of Privacy” also became the first album to have all its tracks certified platinum or higher by the RIAA in 2019. “AMAZING,” she tweeted while celebrating the feat.
Can’t wait for my second album. Thanks for all the love & support.”
