Cardi B broke a record at the AMAs
According to E! News, Cardi B became the first artist in history to take home the trophy for Favorite Song in the Rap/Hip Hop category at the American Music Awards two times. In 2018, she won the award for her breakout single "Bodak Yellow." At the 2020 AMAs, Megan Thee Stallion accepted the trophy in her honor.
In addition for winning the prize in the Rap/Hip Hop category at the AMAs. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion were nominated for the Collaboration of the Year award for their song "WAP." However, they lost to "10,000 Hours" by Dan + Shay with Justin Bieber, per Variety. Additionally, she was nominated for the Favorite Female Artist award, which went to Cardi B's feuding partner Nicki Minaj. Even though she didn't win every category she was nominated for, making history with the win that she did have surely more than makes up for those losses.
