It’s not every day that someone is nominated for one of the biggest awards in music and, for some first time nominees, their reactions can be iconic! For Cardi B, being nominated for five Grammys came when she least expected it. And it was, of course, a classic Cardi response. Â

But something tells me she’s ready to move on from the drama and to start celebrating how she’s slaying the music game. Congrats Cardi!Â
