LOS ANGELES (AP) Cardi B has won five American Music Awards and performed on the telecast during her career so far. Next step: hosting the show.

The rapper behind such hits as Bodak Yellow and Money has been tapped to host the fan-voted awards show airing from Los Angeles on ABC on Nov. 21.

We are immensely excited to have the dynamic Cardi B bring her infectious energy to the American Music Awards as a first-time host, said executive producer Jesse Collins in a statement Tuesday.

Cardi B performed I Like It at the AMAs in 2018 with J Balvin and Bad Bunny and also made history during her last AMAs appearance, becoming the first female rapper to win Favorite Hip-Hop Song twice.
