Cardi's prayers were finally answered when she met Gaga at the 2019 Grammys. The rapper has always been open about her admiration for Gaga, and back in 2016, she tweeted, "When I was a teenager lady Gaga changed my life. She inspired me to be myself & be different."
Gaga also supported Cardi after she received backlash over her rap album of the year Grammy win. "It is so hard to be a woman in this industry," Gaga wrote alongside a photo of the two on Twitter. "What it takes, how hard we work through the disrespectful challenges, just to make art. I love you Cardi. You deserve your awards. Let's celebrate her fight. Lift her up & honour her. She is brave."
