When you look back on the last year in music, it's difficult to think of two individuals that made a bigger impact than Drake and Cardi B. The two stars were everything, ruling their respective lanes with everybody tuning in to hear their latest hits. Scorpion and Invasion of Privacy were two of the most well-received projects of 2018 and both artists look set on continuing their blessings in the next few months. Drake has already experienced major accomplishments at award shows but this is all still fairly new to Cardi B. We can guarantee she's excited about her 14 nominations at the iHeartRadio Music Awards though.
