Cardi B has returned with a hot new song and it’s filled with great bars, an iconic beat and of course great looks. Her new track and video titled “Like What (Freestyle)” samples Missy Elliot’s hit 1999 single “She’s a B***h” and in the video directed by her hubbington Offset, Cardi also salutes Lil Kim.
In her latest work, Cardi pays visual homage to the “Work It” rapper by rocking crystal-encrusted eyebrows—a look Elliott wore at the height of her career. She topped it off with a blonde banged-out and tapered mullet. Through various looks, she also pay tribute to both Missy and Lil’ Kim’s classic styles from her hairdos and make-up down to her sexy poses inspired by Kim’s iconic album covers.
While fans are appreciating every little detail of her new project including the sweet tributes to our favorite female rap icons, social media users can’t get enough of how Cardi B continues to serve on and off camera. More specifically, fans are gagging over her great track record of amazing hairstyles, which are mostly executed by her hairstylist Tokyo Stylez. So in celebration of Cardi finally coming back to the public eye and leaving everyone edgeless with yet another well-produced song and video, let’s take a look back some of her looks that continue to raise the bar!
