The Bronx MC previously defended her decision<\/a> to include them on Am I the Drama?<\/em>. \u201cWAP and Up are two of my biggest songs, my fans have been asking me to put them on an album, and people search for them on IOP all the time\u2026 they deserve a home,\u201d she wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cI let haters make me not submit WAP for the Grammy\u2019s and at this point I\u2019m giving my fans what they want!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCardi also made RIAA history in 2022 with her 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy, <\/em>with all 13 tracks being certified platinum or higher<\/a>, which made Cardi the first female rapper to achieve the feat. That accomplishment further extended her initial record as the first female artist to have every track on an album certified gold. She\u2019s also the first female MC to have multiple diamond-certified singles, with her 2017 breakout smash \u201cBodak Yellow,\u201d<\/a> \u201cI Like It\u201d<\/a> featuring J Balvin and Bad Bunny, and \u201cGirls Like You\u201d with Maroon 5. <\/p>\n
