The celebration continues for Cardi B, who recently topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts, with her hit single, “Bodak Yellow.”
On Tuesday, Sept. 25, the rapper made her first national television performance debut on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she performed alongside fellow rapper G-Eazy.
Dressed in a ruby red leather and fur trimmed jacket, the “Love & Hip Hop” alum hit the stage to bust out a few bars or G-Eazy’s latest single, “No Limit.” The piece, streamed in a black-and-white vintage effect — complete with film scratches — also featured a group of background dancers baring their midriffs.
Although, G-Eazy fills in for A$AP Rocky on the chorus — the rapper is featured on the original cut — the performance is amplified by Cardi B’s unique presence. During the track, the Bronx, New York, rapper even addressed her recent achievements, spitting the fittingly altered line, “You know me, Cardi B, No. 1 on the charts.”
G-Eazy is currently readying his comeback with his new studio album The Beautiful & Damned, set to arrive this fall.
Meanwhile, Cardi B has been showered with love from her peers, after making history with her breakout single. Take for instance, pop singer Taylor Swift, who gifted her with a gorgeous display of flowers.
As previously reported, earlier this week, the rising rap star made history as the first female rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart without a featured act on her single “Bodak Yellow.” Lauryn Hill was the first female rapper to reach the top spot with 1998’s “Doo Wop (That Thing).”
Hours after the announcement, Cardi shared the moment she found out about her song’s ascent. In the video clip, she jumps up from her couch while frantically reading the tweet announcing “Bodak Yellow’s” success.
