If you said you haven't heard Cardi B's "Bodak Yellow," you're definitely lying. The smash hit from the former Love & Hip Hop star has been everywhere this summer and has been getting co-signs from everyone from Missy Elliot, Drake and even UK actor Idris Elba. As everyone watched the single get higher and higher on the charts, Cardi has now officially landed her first Billboard Top 20 on the Hot 100 chart.

Right now the single is currently sitting at number 14 on the charts and at this rate will continue climbing even further. Cardi's latest single has also reached the top 5 on the Hot Rap Songs and Rap Streaming Charts.

This weekend, Cardi B literally took over Toronto with appearances at OVO Fest, Caribana and VELD Festival. She popped up during Migos' set at VELD this weekend where she performed "Bodak Yellow" to a incredibly responsive crowd. The same went for her appearances at OVO Fest.

It's definitely been a hot summer for Cardi B and hopefully it carries onto the fall and even further. With the loose singles and mixtapes she's been putting out, she's definitely going to be an emcee to look out for.

While "Bodak Yellow" reaches hits the Top 20 on the Hot 100, it would be awesome to see it hit the Top 10 or even Top 5.
