2026 is definitely Cardi B’s year and she already called it! After dropping her long-awaited sophomore album Am I the Drama?, welcoming a new baby, and hitting the road for a sold-out tour, Cardi is outside collecting wins like it’s routine.
She snagged her latest ones on Tuesday during the virtual presentation of the 57th NAACP Image Awards. Cardi secured three major honors: Outstanding Artist, Outstanding Album for Am I the Drama?, and Outstanding Hip-Hop/Rap Song for her fiery single “ErrTime.”

The music and podcast categories were announced during a YouTube-exclusive broadcast ahead of the main ceremony, and Cardi’s name kept ringing out.
Grammy Recognition Hits Different
Cardi’s second studio album Am I the Drama? didn’t just make noise in the streets, it made noise with the Recording Academy too. The project earned Grammy recognition this season, with Cardi landing a nomination at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.

* New York, NY (two nights at Madison Square Garden — because of course)
* Newark, NJ
* Boston, MA
* Washington, D.C.
