Cardi B has officially joined the Playboy family. Two weeks after being nominated for a 2022 Grammy, the New York-bred rapper was named Playboy’s first-ever Creative Director in Residence.

On Thursday (December 2), Playboy announced Cardi will additionally head Playboy’s new creator-led platform CENTERFOLD as the program’s Founding Creative Director.

“Through her unapologetic commitment to free expression, her dedication to lifting up artistic voices and her celebration of sex and body positivity, Cardi is the embodiment of the Playboy brand,” Ben Kohn, Chief Executive Officer of PLBY Group, said. “I also can’t think of a better creative visionary to partner with us on the launch of CENTERFOLD. CENTERFOLD will revolutionize the creator economy just as PLAYBOY magazine shook up the publishing industry nearly 70 years ago – and Cardi is the perfect shepherd into this new era.”

“It is a dream come true to officially join the Playboy family,” Cardi said in a statement. “I can’t believe this is real, for as long as I can remember, I’ve felt connected to Playboy. It’s truly the original platform for uncensored creativity and I’m inspired by its incredible legacy of fighting for personal freedoms. I have so many Ideas already – I can’t wait!”

Cardi B has been racking up the accolades recently. The “WAP”collaborator made history on Tuesday (November 30) when she became the first woman rapper to ever have multiple songs certified diamond.
