2017 Was Cardi B's Year, and We Were All Just Living in It 

In late September, Cardi B took over the Billboard Hot 100 with her song "Bodak Yellow" and became the first female rapper to land a No. 1 song without any other featured artists since Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998. It should also be noted that Cardi managed to knock Taylor Swift from the coveted top spot — which is no easy feat due to Taylor's legion of fans. To say Cardi B's supporters were shook by the good news would be an understatement.

Not only were Cardi fans excited about her success, but celebrities were also quick to congratulate her. "Sooo beautiful and lovely. Thank you @taylorswift for the flowers," Cardi B wrote alongside a photo of the floral arrangement Taylor sent her.

Fellow female emcee Missy Elliott also took time out to congratulate the 25-year-old rapper. "Congratulations @iamcardib for having a #1 record in the country," Missy tweeted. "That's not as easy as it seem this huge🙌🏾 May u have continued blessings🙏🏾" Cardi B later revealed "every single female rapper" congratulated her, including Nicki Minaj, saying it was "the best feeling because I listened to all of them."
