“Make sure you got that spark, you know what I’m sayin,’” Cardi B told the audience at the Swisher Sweets 2019 Spark Awards on April 12 in Los Angeles. The Invasion of Privacy rapper received the Spark Award for being a trendsetter and breaking barriers in the music industry.
Rocking rainbow hair, Cardi was one of a number of A-list guests in attendance, with the Iggy Azalea, Eric Bellinger, and Mariah Lynn also at The London in West Hollywood.
