A few of Hip Hop’s leading ladies are celebrating their fellow rap princess and her first Grammy win. Music’s it-girl Cardi B was overwhelmed with gratitude on Sunday night when she took the stage to accept her very first Grammy Award for Best Rap Album before a room full of her industry peers, but she also had the support of some very familiar faces who each know a little something about holding their own in the male-dominated Hip Hop genre. Both Lil Kim and Remy Ma were among the first to take to their social media pages with words of congrats for Cardi. “Thank U Jesus!!!! Look at God,” Kim wrote in a tweet.
