Her first studio album, Invasion of Privacy [2018], debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was named the number-one female rap album of the 2010s by Billboard. Critically acclaimed, it made Cardi B the only woman to win the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album as a solo artist, and marked the first female rap album in 15 years nominated for Album of the Year. It spawned two number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100; with "Bodak Yellow", Cardi B became the first female rapper to achieve a diamond-certified song by the RIAA and the first to top the Hot 100 with a solo output in 19 years, while "I Like It" marked the first time a female rapper attained multiple number-one songs on the chart. Her Hot 100 number-one collaboration "Girls Like You" with band Maroon 5 made her the only female rapper to achieve multiple diamond-certified songs by the RIAA. She has since released two singles from her upcoming second album— "WAP" [2020] and "Up" [2021], both of which topped the Hot 100 and other charts globally.

Recognized by Forbes as one of the most influential female rappers of all time, Cardi B holds various records among women in hip hop; she is the female rapper with the most number-one singles [five] on the Billboard Hot 100, the only to achieve multiple number ones with solo songs and the only to achieve number ones in two decades [2010s and 2020s] on the chart.

She was the first lead artist to top the inaugural Billboard Global 200. Her accolades include a Grammy Award, eight Billboard Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, six American Music Awards, 14 BET Hip Hop Awards, and two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year awards. In 2018, Time magazine included her on its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and in 2020, Billboard honored her as Woman of the Year.

During her teens, Cardi B was employed at an Amish deli in Tribeca.[17] She was fired and became a dancer at a strip club across the street.[18][19] Cardi B has said that becoming a stripper was positive for her life in many ways: "It really saved me from a lot of things. When I started stripping I went back to school."[20][21][22] She stated that she became a stripper to escape poverty and domestic violence, having been in an abusive relationship at the time after being kicked out of her mother's house,[23][24] and that stripping was her only way to earn enough money to escape the situation and get an education.[25] She attended Borough of Manhattan Community College[26] before eventually dropping out.[27] While stripping, Cardi B lied to her mother by telling her she was making money by babysitting.[28]

"When I first started rapping [...] I liked certain songs from Khia and Trina, and they [were] fighting songs. I haven't heard fighting songs for a very long time," crediting the two female rappers for her aggressive rap style. She continued, saying "a lot of girls they cannot afford red bottoms, a lot of girls they cannot afford foreign cars [...] but I know that every girl has beef with a girl [...] I know that every bitch don't like some bitch, and it's like 'that's what I wanna rap about.'"[193][194]

She also credits growing up in the South Bronx and real life experiences as influences for her songwriting; "I wouldn't be able to rap about the things that I rap about now [if I hadn't grown up there]."[17]

Musical style

Her first studio album, Invasion of Privacy, is primarily a hip hop record, which comprises elements of trap, Latin music, and R&B.[91][195] Consequence of Sound described her flow as "acrobatic and nimble."[196] AllMusic editor David Jeffries called Cardi B "a raw and aggressive rapper".[5] Stereogum called her voice "a full-bodied New Yawk nasal bleat, the sort of thing that you've heard if someone has ever told you that you stupid for taking too long at swiping your MetroCard." They continued to call her voice "an unabashedly loud and sexual fuck-you New York honk—that translates perfectly to rap."[197] In a 2017 Complex article about her, the editor wrote "unapologetic does not begin to describe the totally unfiltered and sheer Cardi B-ness of Cardi B's personality. She's a hood chick who's not afraid to be hood no matter the setting. Cardi B is Cardi B 24/7, 365, this is why she resonates with people, and that same energy comes out in her music."[198] Her flow has been described as aggressive.[199][200] In 2019, NME described her lyrics as "sexually free" performed with "rapid" flow.[125] She possesses a New York-Dominican accent.[201]

Cardi B has defended her musical content featuring sexually-charged lyrics—like most contemporary female rappers; she stated that the content "seems like that's what people want to hear", since she faced negative reactions after releasing her more emotional song, "Be Careful".[202][203] She has declared, "[Drill music] is the type of artist I always wanted to be: I like to rap about the streets, and I like to rap about my pussy. I don't give a fuck about it."[192] She has stated that writing and performing songs about her personal life and relationships initially caused her a "weird and uncomfortable" feeling and shyness.[192]

Cardi B employs different vocal styles in her music; in "WAP" her vocal performance has been described as "throaty"[204] and "staccato",[205] while in "Up" she raps with alliteration, a tongue twister-run, and "some classically comedic Cardi" punch lines.[206]

In February 2017, she partnered with M.A.C and Rio Uribe's Gypsy Sport for an event for New York Fashion Week.[51] Her April appearance in i-D's "A-Z of Music" video was sponsored by designer Marc Jacobs,[56] and she made the cover of The Fader's July/August 2017 Summer Music issue.[70] Tom Ford's Cardi B-inspired lipstick, and named after her, was released in September 2018.

Cardi B identifies as a feminist.[219] The rapper has been called "unabashedly, directly political"[15] and often uses social media to advocate for causes she believes in, such as gun control.[220] During the 2016 presidential primaries, she warned her fans of President Trump's immigration policies and encouraged them to vote for Senator Bernie Sanders.[221][222] At the Grammy Awards in 2018, she appeared in a video along with Hillary Clinton to narrate a portion of Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff's insider's account of Trump's administration, and stated "Why am I even reading this shit? I can't believe this. I can't believe—this is how he really lives his life?"[223] Early that year she used her social media to demand transparency on tax policy, asking for detailed information on how her taxpayer dollars are being spent in New York state and criticizing the maintenance of its streets, prisons, and public transportation.[224] Cardi B endorsed Sanders once again in his second bid for the presidency in the 2020 United States presidential election, while also praising U.S. Representative Tim Ryan.[225] She also stated that one of the reasons for her endorsement is Sanders' long-time involvement in supporting underprivileged minorities and "people getting Medicare because he knows they can't afford it,"[4] while Politico argued that she "might be one of Bernie's most powerful 2020 allies."[226] She has also used her social pages to raise awareness for victims of police brutality, and has encouraged people to vote for mayors, judges and district attorneys in local elections.[227] In a conversation with Democratic candidate Joe Biden for Elle, they discussed Medicare, free college tuition, and racial equality.[228] According to a study published by The Hollywood Reporter, Cardi B ranked as the fifth most influential celebrity, and fourth among Generation Z, for the 2020 presidential election.[229]

She has praised President Franklin D. Roosevelt for advocating for the Social Security program and the New Deal project.[230] She said of President Roosevelt, "he helped us get over the Depression, all while he was in a wheelchair. Like, this man was suffering from polio at the time of his presidency, and yet all he was worried about was trying to make America great—make America great again for real. He's the real 'Make America Great Again,' because if it wasn't for him, old people wouldn't even get Social Security."[231] Sanders himself has praised her for her "leading role" in calling attention to Social Security.[232]

Fashion

Cardi has a noted affinity for Christian Louboutin heels, a running theme in her song "Bodak Yellow".[67] She has also mentioned her affinity for cheap, fast fashion brands stating "I don't care if it cost $20 or $15. If it looks good on me, it looks good on me".[233] During an interview in early 2017, Cardi B spoke on being rejected by some fashion designers.[234] Cardi wore vintage Thierry Mugler to the 2019 Grammy Awards, with an i-D article stating that the fashion house's "resurgence onto the fashion scene can almost single-handedly be attributed" to the Swarovski crystal-embroidered crinoline sheath gown she wore at the ceremony. Mugler's collaboration with Cardi B marked the second time in 25 years that the Paris house opened its archives to dress a celebrity, the first being Beyoncé for her 2009 concert tour.[235] W magazine credited the "WAP" music video for popularizing the Mugler bodysuit in the mainstream.[236] Cardi has acknowledged Mugler as one of the first designers to "take a major chance on [her]" for their fashion collaborations.[237]

Vogue, The Telegraph, Time, and Vibe have referred to her as a fashion icon.[238][239][240][241] An article from Vogue noted she "is famous for her statement getups—whether she's rocking archival Mugler on the red carpet, or dripping in Chanel while sitting courtside at a basketball game."[242] Her over-the-top manicures, designed by nail artist Jenny Bui and studded with Swarovski crystals, has become a part of her signature look.[243] Editor Christian Allaire from the magazine in 2021 commented that her signature "bold" ensembles "create a spectacle" during fashion weeks.[244]

In 2018, she became the first female rapper in the US to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine. Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, the cover, one of four for the January 2019 issue that included Stella McCartney,[245] features her in a red and white Michael Kors dress and matching red Jimmy Choo shoes, while holding her daughter, Kulture.[246]

In 2019, the Council of Fashion Designers of America included her on their list of "28 Black Fashion Forces".[247] Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour commended her fashion sense, declaring that she "completely rethought [her] opinion of Cardi B's style" after the 2019 Met Gala, where the rapper wore a Thom Browne-designed burgundy gown that extends outward in concentric circles for about ten feet and was inspired by the female form.[248][249]

Cardi B became the face of Balenciaga's ad campaign for the winter 2020 season. The campaign includes billboards in several international locations, such as the Louvre museum. Vogue's Brooke Bobb commented, "This is Cardi's first campaign for a luxury fashion house, though she's definitely no stranger to the Parisian style scene", citing her floral printed Richard Quinn ensemble "that literally covered her from head to toe" and her being "a front row fixture" at high fashion shows, adding, "She and her stylist Kollin Carter have been wildly successful in carving out a much-needed space for Cardi within the fashion industry, and they've cultivated a personal style that is all her own while being inspiring to all".[250]

In 2020, Cardi B became the first female rapper to be awarded by the FN Achievement Awards when she won the Style Influencer of the Year award, which was presented to her by Christian Louboutin. In a press release for the awards show, she was called an "influence just about everything in pop culture—from music, fashion and style to social media, politics and even public service".[251] In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked her as the second most-stylish woman in music, behind Lady Gaga,[252] and GQ considered her "one of fashion's preeminent risk-takers."[253]

Cardi B has been referred to as the "Reigning Queen of Hip Hop" by multiple publications, including Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Omaha World-Herald, Black Enterprise, Newsweek, and The A.V. Club,[143][254] and as the "Queen of Rap" by NME, Essence, Harper's Bazaar Malaysia, The Jakarta Post, Uproxx, iHeartRadio, Geo TV, Vanity Fair, Joe, Boston Herald, Refinery 29, France 24, and Nigerian media The Guardian, BBC News, and Daily Trust.[255][125]

Spin staff credited her for opening "the table to a new generation of pop artists remaking American music in their own image and accents," as Cardi B "recognized that POC artists no longer need to pander or soften themselves in order to become household names."[256] Billboard editors stated that with "Bodak Yellow"'s commercial success, "she left an indelible mark on the summer of 2017, not only because she rewrote history, but she gave hope to the have nots...".[257] Several publications have credited "I Like It", the first Latin trap song to reach number one on the Hot 100, for introducing the "musical movement" to a mainstream, massive audience.[258][259] Billboard's Carl Lamarre considered "WAP"'s achievements "a clever Trojan horse for the myriad ways Cardi influences the culture with every move she makes."[192]

The Wall Street Journal's Neil Shah stated in 2020 that her breakthrough and success influenced "today's female-rap renaissance," while Genius staff credited her for "helping jumpstart a new wave of female hip-hop signings and promotion at labels,"[157][260] and NPR Music commented that the "renaissance" of the dynamism of women in rap grew "in enthusiasm and breadth" since Cardi's "first historic run" in 2017.[261] Similarly, Clover Hope's book The Motherlode [2021] stated that Invasion of Privacy "jump-started a new era for women rappers in which success felt much more tangible" as Cardi B "multiplied the wealth of talent and resurrected the idea that numerous women who controlled their own stories could dominate rap at once."[262] The New Yorker has credited her for "changing a genre that has rarely allowed for more than one female superstar at a time."[263] Uproxx noted Cardi B for promoting up-and-coming female rappers; "[she is] choosing to use her position at the height of stardom to open doors for other women to flourish in hip-hop at a greater level than any since the Golden Era and 'Ladies First'," considering it "something of a departure from tradition; for the decade previous to Cardi's precipitous come-up, it seemed hip-hop had an unspoken, Highlander-esque rule in place regarding women."[264] Variety deemed her a "hip-hop icon",[265] and The Independent called her "the people's pop culture icon", writing that she "has become one of the most recognisable cultural figures of the past 10 years".[266]

NPR defined "Cardi B effect" as "a branding power rooted in specific authenticity, created and permeated by rapper Cardi B" and noticed that with her breakthrough, "brands finally started to become hip to [her] effect, noticing the cultural markers outside of the rap world that were proving it wasn't limited to clubs, concerts and radio."[267] Business magazine Inc. stated that her success "shows how social media changed everything we knew about traditional marketing and media", which no longer relies on a "well-thought marketing scheme or millions of dollars in advertising."[268] In 2019, a life-sized sculpture of her was on display at the Brooklyn Museum, as part of Spotify's RapCaviar "Pantheon".[269] Bloomberg reported that her data bill helped to boost Ghana's GDP growth in 2019, after it was part of a concert tour.[270] She inspired the creation of the sitcom Partners in Rhyme, executively produced by MC Lyte about a young woman in high school who "aspires to be the next Cardi B."[271] P-Valley creator and executive producer Katori Hall cited her an inspiration for the TV series, and credited her for "helping prepare the public" for its storyline.[272][273] Several artists have cited Cardi B's work as an inspiration, including Rosalía,[274] Olivia Rodrigo,[275] Jazmine Sullivan,[276] Selena Gomez,[277] Blackpink,[278] Spice,[187] Greta Gerwig,[279] Nathy Peluso,[280] Rubi Rose,[281] María Becerra,[282] and Abigail Asante.[283] Cardi B has been credited for supporting and uniting female rappers in the industry,[284][285][286] with a writer from Uproxx considering her co-sign "the new Drake effect" for women in hip hop.[264] Forbes has recognized her as one of the most influential female rappers of all time.[287]

Invasion of Privacy—which made her the first female rapper to win the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album as a solo artist—became the first female rap album in fifteen years to be nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.[127][293] Time included her on their annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2018.[124] She received the ASCAP award for Songwriter of the Year in 2019, becoming the first female rapper to win the award.[294] She received the honor for the second time in 2020, making her the first female songwriter to win the award twice.[295] In 2020, Cardi B became the first female rapper to be named Woman of the Year at the Billboard Women in Music Awards.[296]

Cardi B is the female rapper with the most Billboard Hot 100 number one singles [5][169] and the one with the most total weeks on the top position [16].[105][169] "I Like It" became the first song led by a female rapper to surpass a billion streams on Spotify, also making her the first woman in hip hop with multiple billion-streamers on the service, with a total of three so far.[297][298] With the singles "Taki Taki" and "WAP" she became the only female rapper to top the global Spotify chart multiple times.[154] Since August 2020, "WAP" holds the record of the biggest first-week streams for a song in the United States.[154] Invasion of Privacy was the top female rap album of the 2010s, according to the Billboard 200 decade-end chart.[299] It also became the longest-charting album by a female rapper on the Billboard 200,[300] and the most-streamed female rap album on Spotify.[301]

Cardi is the female rapper with the most Diamond-certified songs by the Recording Industry Association of America [RIAA] [3]: "Bodak Yellow", which made her the first female rapper to have a song certified Diamond; "Girls Like You", which made her the only female rapper to achieve multiple Diamond-certified songs; and "I Like It", a tie for the most among women artists.[302][114][303][304] Cardi B has topped twice Pitchfork's annual list of best songs of the year [2017 and 2020].[305][306] Billboard staff and Rolling Stone ranked her debut album number 13 and 34 on their critics' lists of the best albums of the 2010s respectively, both the highest rank for a female rapper for the decade.[307][308] In the US, Cardi has achieved three times the best-performing song of the year by a female artist—the first act to do so this century—in 2017, 2018, and 2020.[309] As of 2021, "I Like It" is the most-streamed song by a female rapper in the United Kingdom.[310] In August 2021, "Bodak Yellow" made Cardi B the only female rapper to have two videos on her YouTube channel with more than 1 billion views, joining "I Like It", and became the fastest solo female rap song to reach that mark on the platform.[311][312] Cardi is the only female rapper ranked on Billboard's Greatest Hot 100 Hits of All Time, with "Girls Like You" at number 30.[313]

Cardi B is a practicing Catholic.[314] She identifies as bisexual.[315][316] In connection with the Me Too movement, she has discussed being sexually assaulted in the past.[317][318][319][320]

Cardi B's younger sister, Hennessy Carolina, also has a strong following on social media and has accompanied her to award shows, such as the 2018 Grammy Awards.[321]

In a 2018 interview, Cardi B talked about being Afro-Latina and Afro-Caribbean:

We are Caribbean people. [...] Some people want to decide if you're black or not, depending on your skin complexion, because they don't understand Caribbean people or our culture. [...] I don't got to tell you that I'm black. I expect you to know about it. When my father taught me about Caribbean countries, he told me that Europeans took over our lands. That's why we all speak different languages. [...] Just like everybody else, we came over here the same way. I hate when people try to take my roots from me. Because we know that there's African roots inside of us.[322]

Relationships

As of early 2017, Cardi B began dating fellow rapper Offset.[67][29] They became engaged on October 27, 2017.[323] On April 7, 2018, during her second performance on Saturday Night Live, Cardi B revealed her pregnancy; she was about six months [24 weeks] pregnant at the time.[324] On June 25, 2018, TMZ found a marriage license revealing Cardi B and Offset had actually secretly married in September 2017, one month before the public proposal. She later confirmed this in a social media post.[325] Cardi B gave birth to her daughter on July 10, 2018.[326] In December 2018, she announced on Instagram that she and Offset had separated, though the pair later reunited.[327][328] In February 2019, the couple made a public appearance for the Grammys.[329] He accompanied her onstage during her acceptance speech for Best Rap Album.[330] In September 2020, it was reported that Cardi B had filed for divorce,[331][332] but the following month it was revealed they were back together.[333] In June 2021, Cardi B revealed she was pregnant with her second child, a boy.[334] She gave birth to her son on September 4, 2021.[335]

Legal issues

On October 1, 2018, Cardi B agreed to meet with investigators at a Queens police station in connection with an alleged assault of two female bartenders.[336][337] The victims claimed that Cardi B and her entourage "threw bottles and alcohol at them."[338] She denied involvement.[339] She was charged with two misdemeanors: assault and reckless endangerment.[340] Cardi B appeared in court for her arraignment on December 7, 2018, after she did not show up for the originally scheduled date due to a scheduling conflict, according to her attorney.[341][342] On June 21, 2019, a jury indicted Cardi B on 14 charges, including two counts of felony assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, stemming from the incident.[343][344] She was arraigned on June 25, 2019, and pleaded not guilty on all charges.[345]

On January 24, 2022, Cardi won a million-dollar defamation verdict against YouTuber Latasha Kebe [Tasha K] for waging a "malicious campaign" to hurt her reputation by posting false rumors. The jury issued a verdict that Cardi B had been defamed and awarded $1.25 million in damages.[346] Further proceedings brought the total fine against Kebe to $3.82 million.[347]

On March 25, 2022, Cardi, her sister Hennessy, and Hennessy's girlfriend won a defamation lawsuit filed against them by three men over an incident at Suffolk County beach.[348]

Cardi B sparked controversy after throwing one of her high heel shoes at and attempting to physically attack fellow rapper Nicki Minaj at a New York Fashion Week after-party in September 2018.[349][350][351] Following the altercation, she alleged that Minaj had previously "liked" social media comments that spoke negatively of Cardi B's ability to take care of her newborn daughter.[352] Minaj denied the allegations, and accused Cardi B of cyberbullying in a heated Instagram exchange from 2014.[353][354][355] Cardi B was on the cover of the 2019 spring fashion issue of Harper's Bazaar, which featured her in a Cinderella-themed photo shoot wearing a red gown and leaving a shoe behind. Some interpreted this as a reference to the incident.[356]

After the release of "Girls" in May 2018, a collaboration where she had a featured verse, Cardi B responded to accusations of the song trivializing and sexualizing LGBT relationships; she tweeted, "We never try to cause harm or had bad intentions with the song." She went on to add, "I personally myself had experiences with other women."[357]

In March 2019, an Instagram livestream from 2016 resurfaced where Cardi B can be heard claiming that in the past she "had drugged and robbed men" who willingly came with her to hotel rooms for sexual intercourse.[358] She stated that the men she referred to were conscious, willing and aware;[359][360] they were getting "twisted in the club" before approaching her, and denied ever putting anything in a man's drink. She added that she took some money from them because they wasted her time by falling asleep, and then "kept coming back."[361] She concluded by saying that at that time she had very limited options to survive, and feels a responsibility not to glorify it.[359]

In July 2020, Cardi B used the word "chinky" in a since-deleted Instagram comment talking about her daughter's eyes.[362] She denied knowing it was a racial slur, as such usage prompted backlash from social media users,[363][364] stating in a since-deleted tweet: "I don't know f*ckin' everything. We don't even use that as [an] insult and I don't use it as [an] insult. I'm sick of the internet". In an interview with Elle, she again denied knowing it was a racist slur.[365]

"7 Rings" was met with mixed to positive reviews from music critics. It received nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, and was included in Billboard's year-end best-songs list of 2019. Its accompanying music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, received critical acclaim and won Best Art Direction at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. A remix of the song, featuring American rapper 2 Chainz, was released on February 1, 2019.

A few weeks prior to the track's release, Republic Records contacted Imagem/Concord Music, who owns the Rodgers & Hammerstein publishing rights, and agreed to give them 90 percent of the song's songwriting royalties, in order to acquire the rights to release the song.[2][3] Grande first teased the track in the music video for "Thank U, Next", in which the first few seconds of the instrumental are used in the opening sequence, and the license plate of the car she drives reads "7 RINGS".[4] The day after the video was released, Grande confirmed the existence of "7 Rings" and revealed the moment that inspired it on Twitter.[5]

The singer described the song as "a friendship anthem", later posting the single's artwork on Instagram along with its release date, January 18.[6]

"7 Rings" is a trap, R&B and rap song that runs for 3 mins.[7][8][9][10] It features a heavy bass[11] and sees Grande discuss "how global success has allowed her to enjoy the finer things".[12] Billboard magazine noted it's "the most hip-hop-leaning song Grande has released in the post-Sweetener era yet, with Grande almost rapping the song's verses".[11]

The song channels the melody of The Sound of Music's "My Favorite Things" in the verses: "Breakfast at Tiffany's/And bottles of bubbles/Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble/Lashes and diamonds, ATM machines/Buy myself all of my favorite things".[13] The song also interpolates The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Gimme the Loot" in the bridge.[14] Grande and her team agreed to sign away 90% of the track's songwriting royalties at the request of the Concord music company.[15]

Grande described the song as a "friendship anthem" that "evolves" from previous single "Thank U, Next", while embracing a new chapter.[6] She opens up about how her break-up with Pete Davidson led her to "treating her friends instead".[12]

"7 Rings" is written in the key of C# minor in common time with a tempo of 140 beats per minute. The song contains rapping segments however in the singing parts, Grande's vocals spans from G♯3 to E5.[16]

The song received mixed to positive reviews. Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos was positive of "7 Rings", calling it "dangerously fun, and as deliriously intoxicating as the champagne at Tiffany’s with all your best bitches."[17] Markos Papadatos from Digital Journal praised Grande's vocals as "smooth and crystalline with a retro vibe to it" and said Grande has shown "consistency with the radio singles that she has put out, and each song stands out from a sonic and lyrical standpoint. "7 rings" is no different."[18] Jamieson Cox from Pitchfork was mixed in her review and said the song "[is] a letdown given all of the hype. This is The Sound of Music's 'My Favorite Things' as flipped by Regina George, and its sneering tone is a far cry from Sweetener's benevolence..."[19] The Atlantic's editor, Spencer Kornhaber, criticized the song, writing:

[the single] is raising hackles because it regresses to a more cartoonish, and imitative, use of black music than she's done before [not to mention the video's evocation of Japanese kawaii]. She's wearing the culture as a costume—or even as a joke—not unlike white frat guys putting on fake grills for a "ratchet" party.[10]

Year-end list

With "7 Rings", Grande joined Mariah Carey [3] and Britney Spears [2] as the only female artists to have two or more number-one debuts on the Billboard Hot 100. She passed Spears with the release of her 2020 single "Stuck with U", and subsequently passed Carey with the release of "Rain on Me" and "Positions".

"7 Rings" earned over 12.2 million plays in its first 24 hours on Spotify, breaking the platform's all-time counter record.[30] However, only 8.5 million of these counted towards Spotify's Top 200 chart dated January 18, 2019.[31] The song also broke the Spotify weekly record with over 70 million streams in its first week on the platform.

In the United States, "7 Rings" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 issue dated February 2, 2019, becoming Grande's second number-one single, following "Thank U, Next", and the 33rd song to do so.[32] With this, Grande joined Carey [3] and Britney Spears [2] as the only female artists with multiple number-one debuts; and at the time she was overall the fifth artist after Justin Bieber and Drake. She later broke the overall record with the number one debuts of "Stuck with U" and "Rain on Me".[33] Grande also became the first artist to have their first two number-ones debut at the top spot.

The song reclaimed the summit position the following week, pushing "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" down to number two, and thus making Grande the first artist in the chart's history to self-replace for two consecutive weeks.[38] As of March 2021, "7 Rings" is Grande's third most-streamed song in the United Kingdom and overall 18th most-streamed song by a female artist in the country.[39]

In Australia, the song debuted at number one, becoming Grande's 3rd number one single.[40]

The music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis, who also directed the music videos for Grande's previous singles, "Breathin" and "Thank U, Next".[43]

Billboard magazine called the pink-colored video "sassy", as Grande and her friends flash their diamond rings at a luxurious party in a "mansion that's decked with diamonds, graffiti, and a champagne tower".[11] Digital Journal gave it an A rating, calling it "distinct and remarkable. It is creative and artistic and it will resonate with her fans."[18] The "7 Rings" music video earned 23.6 million views in its first 24 hours.[44] On June 1, 2021, it surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube.

Synopsis

The video begins outside a house with many women posing on cars and caressing each other. Next, the title appears, reading out "7 Rings" [and written in Japanese as "七つの指輪"].[45][46][47] The song then begins with Grande outside showing a far shot showing Grande and many other women, which then transitions to Grande in the kitchen with added pink LED lights around her. She is shown wearing jewellery around her neck, ears and some on her hair. She also sports pink hair extensions. The scene then moves to a party that shows Grande and backup dancers dancing, and drinking wine.[48] Afterwards, the next scene depicts Grande in front of a tower of plastic-glass cups that are all filled with water. The scene after shows Grande pouring a wine bottle over them and also showing Grande's real life friends including Alexa Luria and singer/songwriter Victoria Monét [who also contributed songwriting to the track].[49] The next scene then shows Grande laying down on the staircase with Rapunzel-inspired ponytail, also signifying her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson's apartment.[50] While also still showing scenes earlier in the video, a scene also shows Grande pouring a wine bottle over the tower of cups which end up falling down. The next scene involves a Barbie-inspired house showing Grande in a pink latex outfit [similar to Dangerous Woman]. It then shows Grande ripping the wallpaper giving availability for her to peek inside. The final change is of Grande in a room with green lights giving resemblance to Wicked. The final scenes are of Grande outside with all her friends and backup dancers including her dog Toulouse. In conclusion it shows Grande saying "My bitches right here" which leads to the ending of the music video.[51]

Grande was accused by American rapper Princess Nokia for plagiarism of her song "Mine".[52][53][54] American rappers Soulja Boy and 2 Chainz also accused Grande of plagiarizing their respective songs "Pretty Boy Swag" and "Spend It".[55] However, after severe backlash from fans, Princess Nokia deleted the video accusing Grande around the same time the remix with 2 Chainz was released.[53][54] Grande would later appear on the track "Rule the World" from 2 Chainz's fifth studio album Rap or Go to the League [2019].[56]

Grande was subject to criticism and some ridicule after getting a tattoo commemorative of the song which read 「七輪」[Shichirin] in Japanese. While the kanji that comprise the word literally translate to "seven" and "ring" respectively, shichirin commonly refers to a specific type of small barbecue grill or brazier. A later attempt to fix the tattoo by the addition of the character yubi [指, lit. "Finger"] beneath 「七」, to give 「七指輪」Shichi yubiwa [yubiwa meaning "ring", as in the piece of jewelry] only drew further criticism.[57]
