Cardi B will be honored with ASCAP's Voice of the Culture Award at a private event on June 8, 2025, in Los Angeles. The award recognizes ASCAP members who have significantly influenced music and culture. Last year, Usher received the same honor.
ASCAP Chairman Paul Williams stated that Cardi B has left a lasting mark on hip-hop culture by redefining and challenging norms for women in the genre. He added that she continues to use her voice to advocate for and inspire others.
Cardi B previously made history in 2020 as the first woman to win the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Songwriter of the Year Award for two consecutive years. She has also received eight ASCAP Pop Music Awards and 23 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards.
