Editor’s Note: A previous version of this article referred to Cardi B as the first woman to ever receive the Best Rap Album Grammy. Lauryn Hill was actually the first woman to receive the award, along with her group The Fugees, for ‘The Score.’ However, Cardi B is the first woman to win as a solo female rapper.
