Cardi B retweeted the RIAA tweet about the more than historic achievement. She attached a short tweet along with a retweet and suggested a second album.

“AMAZING ….can’t wait for my second album♥️ Thanks for all the love & support”

Cardi B erases the gap separating rap from other genres and female rappers from male rappers. Being the first to do this puts Cardi in a category by herself. This accomplishment will be celebrated by all artists who respect music. The 3 million albums sold of Invasion of Privacy are a testament to the explosive power one person can have on the world.
