Doja Cat made history as she dethroned Cardi B to become the second best-selling female rapper in the world. The feat, according to Billboard, further solidifies Doja Cat’s rise into the stratosphere of the music industry, with Nicki Minaj remaining the best-selling female rapper in the United States and worldwide.
The new rankings reflect a serious reordering of the hierarchy of female rap powerhouses. While Cardi B, known for her chart-topping hits and bold persona, now holds the third spot globally, her ranking in the U.S. has dipped further to number four.
Doja Cat’s rise is reflective of her genre-bending artistry and massive commercial success, with hits like Say So and Paint The Town Red topping charts around the world. This sets a new point in the highly competitive landscape of women in rap, where she still cuts her niche among legends.
So far, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, and Cardi B have remained the first three female rappers who have sold out globally, and all prove just how impactful their reign and sounds have upon the world’s notice.
