Cardi B's follow-up single was "Money," a defiant track about her success and the haters who had been trying to bring her down. The video for the song was also a hit, and it featured Cardi B as a glamorous queen sitting atop a throne and surrounded by her loyal subjects.
Cardi B also released a number of other singles during the year, including "Please Me," a collaboration with Bruno Mars, and "Press," a defiant track about her fight against the double standard she faces as a female rapper.
