Cardi B Wins 1st Ever GRAMMY as Husband Offset Joins Her Onstage During Acceptance Speech

The rapper acquired her first GRAMMY, taking home the best rap record trophy Invasion of Privacy, because of her debut LP, at Sunday’s 2019 Awards. Taking the stage in a white fringe dress with gloves, Cardi was emotional and excited for her important win as she was, followed by her husband, Offset. 

“I cannot breathe. Oh, my goodness, kid,” she said as she fought back tears. I am so bad. Maybe I want to start smoking marijuana. I just need to say thank you for everybody that was involved.” She lasted, before turning her focus for her daughter, Kulture thanking her team. 

“I wish to thank my girl,” she began. “When I found out that I was pregnant, my album wasn’t complete. I had like three tunes. … We had been like, ‘We have to get this record done so I can shoot these videos before I’m showing.’ It was very long nights.”

Cardi thanked her husband, Offset. In December, she announced she’d divided from the Migos rapper, however they appear to be on good terms now. “Nah, serious, since he was like, ‘You gonna do this record, girl. We gonna have this baby. We gonna create this record.'” Cardi is the first solo female act to win Best Rap Album. Lauryn Hill won as part of the group Fugees. 

The rapper, who also performed “Money” through the ceremony, obtained a total of five nominations this season, including record of the year for Invasion of Privacy. Her single, “I Like It” with Poor Bunny and J Balvin, is up for record the year; “Be Careful” has been recognized in the very best rap performance category; and her cooperation with Maroon 5,”Girls Just Like You,” is nominated at the best pop duo/group functionality class. 

Prior to winning, Cardi and Offset introduced — and gave a lot of PDA.
