New York rapper Cardi B has just made history. Following the release of her “Up” single last week, she’s accomplished something that’s never been done before.
Cardi B Makes History With “Up”
Cardi B is the first woman with consecutive No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart after doing it last time with the Megan Thee Stallion-assisted hit “WAP”. She’s also now the first artist to post two number one debuts in a row on the chart as a lead artist, and the second overall performer to accomplish the feat after Drake.
“Up” arrives with, no surprise, a high streaming sum. The track, released Feb. 5, registered 31.2 million U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 11, according to MRC Data. The total allows for a No. 1 start on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart, where it becomes Cardi B’s fifth leader of her career. It likewise opens atop the all-genre Streaming Songs ranking to mark her fourth champ. (billboard)

Recently, Cardi went to Twitter with some help from fans following “Up” lyrics-stealing accusations. She responded to a video of her previewing music on August 7, 2020 – well before fellow rap artist Fontane had even dropped the track with “Up” lyrics in question. However, Fontane also shot back and said the night before that, they also previewed the song “STUCK.”
“Naaa im the type of person that avoids problems & court days .If i get inspired by a song I wouldn’t mind giving a percentage or couple of thousand but I never Hurd if this man .I’m glad while I was recording this song in August I was playing wit the hook on this live”
Cardi B’s Single ‘Up’ Sounds A Lot Like…
The hip-hop superstar dropped her new single “Up” earlier in the month, and in just a few hours the video had over six million views on her YouTube channel. However, accusations surfaced suggesting the platinum-selling artist stole parts of her song from another rapper. The New Jersey rapper has a song called “STUCK” that basically has the same hook and similar sound to Cardi B’s new single “Up.” The Mir Pesos song came out last September and he believes the Grammy winner copied him.
