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. While her success story as a solo artist will be studied for years to come, her recent string of featured appearances—two of which landed her atop our Best Rap Verses lists in 2022 and 2023 so far—also deserves some attention. With her unique flow, unapologetic attitude, and hard-hitting lyrics, Cardi B has elevated numerous tracks over the past few years with an undeniable spark. Most notably, in the last two years, Cardi’s features on songs like GloRilla’s “Tomorrow 2” and Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again” have propelled these tracks up the Billboard charts. From her trap anthems to pop crossovers, here is a definitive ranking of Cardi B’s 10 best-featured verses.

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. — YouTube

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. — YouTube

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? — YouTube
