Cardi B has undeniably established herself as a powerhouse in the music industry, amassing diamond-certified singles, a plethora of accolades, and unwavering praise from both her peers and fans.

Release date: January 2019
This is an oldie, but goodie. The City Girls dropped “Twerk” in 2018 at the beginning of their musical journey (and shortly after their guest appearance on Drake’s “In My Feelings”). Based on the title alone, Cardi B was obviously the perfect choice. On the track, Cardi oozes sex appeal with raunchy bars about getting filthy on the dance floor. “I just jump on hit charts, impact, impact/Stop that chit-chat, get smacked, bitch better relax,” Cardi spits later on her verse. “Twerk” isn’t the strongest feature of her career, but it definitely set the stage for what was to come.
Release date: September 2018
Cardi B’s verse on Pardison Fontaine’s 2019 “Backin’ It Up” may be one of the more overlooked features on this list, but it serves as an early indication of her future dominance as a featured artist. On the track, the Bronx native unleashes a fiery and unapologetic flow, delivering sexually charged bars with ruthless precision. And lyrics like “Bitches think they fuckin’ with me, must be sick in the head/Why don’t you chill with the beef and get some chicken instead?” showcases her fierce attitude. Cardi B maintains the energy of the song and solidifies the track as a bonafide club anthem.
Release Date: October 2018
In 2018, DJ Snake’s “Taki Taki” gained significant attention, largely due to the news of Selena Gomez singing in Spanish on the track. But the true standout was Cardi B, who stole the spotlight with a seductive verse that showcased her bilingual music skills. With an energetic delivery, Cardi B confidently raps, “I’m a whole rich bitch, and I work like I’m broke still/Why the love be so fake but the hate be so real?” before bursting into a Spanish-language hook. “Taki Taki” undeniably became one of the songs of the summer following its initial release.
Release date: January 2018
When Bruno Mars released the original version of “Finesse” it immediately nabbed attention, but when Cardi B stepped on the remix with a fresh verse in 2016, the single shot to another level. The “Finesse (Remix)” ignited the internet with its nostalgic ‘90s-style influence. Cardi B added her own dynamic flair to the track, incorporating call-and-response elements and delivering commanding lines like “Cardi B, straight stuntin’, can’t tell me nothin’/Bossed up and I changed the game.” “Finesse (Remix)” was so amazing, it inspired Cardi and Bruno to join forces once again for their single “Please Me” in 2019.
Release date: September 2017
G-Eazy knew what he was doing when he tapped Cardi B and A$AP Rocky to appear on his 2017 single “No Limit.” While Rocky takes charge of the chorus, Cardi steals the spotlight with a cocky and memorable verse, packed with clever one-liners that reflect on her rising career at the time. “My career takin’ off, these hoes jogging in place/Swear these hoes run they mouth, how these hoes out of shape?/Can you stop with all the subs? Bitch, I ain’t Jared,” she spits, leaving a lasting impression. If you don’t remember anything else about the track, you won’t forget Cardi B’s standout performance.
Release date: July 2023
FendiDa Rappa’s “Point Me 2” is the latest addition to Cardi B’s impressive features roster, and it’s rapidly gaining popularity amongst fans. This gritty street banger sets the stage for Cardi B to showcase her aggressive and menacing style, perfectly matching the sinister beat. With lines like “Too many bitches in my city think they’re doin’ shit/Too many opps that I don’t know, bitch, who the fuck is this?” Cardi B delivers her bars with piercing accuracy that lingers long after she’s moved on to the next line. At this point, it seems that Cardi can’t miss.
Release date: April 2022
Kay Flock’s “Shake It” is widely regarded as the beginning of Cardi B’s epic run of featured collaborations. Released in 2022, this Brooklyn drill anthem shows Cardi stepping outside of her comfort zone of contributing to mainstream pop and traditional club hits like “WAP” or “I Like It.” On the track, she effortlessly delivers a captivating verse filled with punchy lines like “All of my opps get mixed with the grabba/Broke bitch said she was gon’ touch me/She lyin’, hakuna matata.” “Shake It” serves as evidence that Cardi B can thrive in multiple lanes of rap and consistently deliver a fiery verse, no matter the style or genre.
Release date: June 2023
“Put It On Da Floor Again” is legendary for two reasons: Latto’s unmatched energy and Cardi’s unforgettable verse. Despite being toward the later part of Cardi B’s run of featured appearances, she shows no signs of slowing down in terms of her energy and fierceness. On the track, she delivers a spicy verse packed with comedic one-liners like “These hoes don’t do enough/That’s why I always do the most,” and clever pop-culture references such as “I’m sexy dancin’ in the house, I feel like Britney Spears.” Cardi’s verse on “Put It On Da Floor Again” stands out because of her authoritative presence and comfort in her position as the featured artist everyone should have on their song.
Release date: October 2017
Migos’ “Motorsport” caused quite the drama between its two featured guests when it dropped, but don’t let the gossip, controversy, or respective fandoms distract you from just how great Cardi’s verse is. The song was released early in Cardi’s career when she was still establishing herself in the industry, yet her verse quickly became a topic of conversation among listeners. Following Offset’s verse, Cardi delivers scorching bars over a trap beat, touching on rap beef and her personal relationships. Lines like “Why would I hop in some beef/When I could just hop in a Porsche?/You heard she gon’ do what from who?/That’s not a reliable source, no” showcase her sharp wit and confident delivery. The verse concludes with Cardi declaring herself “the trap Selena,” paying homage to the late Tejano singer. With Cardi’s stellar contribution, how could it not be in the top two slots?
Release date: September 2022
While a handful of features have been released since, none compare to Cardi B’s influence on GloRilla’s single “Tomorrow 2.” Her verse excels in every aspect here, showcasing her aggressive and unapologetic delivery. Packed with unforgettable and boldly confident one-liners, her verse becomes an anthem of its own that fans eagerly recite bar for bar at parties and clubs, highlighting its immense power. Cardi also addresses the hate she’s faced throughout her career, delivering lines like “Bitches be on dick today, sing every word of ‘Up’ tomorrow/Bitch, I still got cases open, keep your mouth shut tomorrow.” Released in late 2022, this verse left us eagerly anticipating what was to come.
