Cardi B's debut album, Invasion of Privacy, and features are raking in awards for the NYC raptress.

Topping the list of nominees, the "Be Careful" rapper has been nominated for eight awards, tying with Drake.

This year's AMAs will be hosted by "black-ish" actress Tracee Ellis Ross live from the Microsoft Theater in LA.

Ms. Ross also received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Post Malone and Ed Sheeran came in after Cardi and Drake with five nominations each. Drizzy is in the running for the coveted "Artist of the Year" category along with Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, Post Malone and Ed Sheeran.

Normani was also in the mix for the reveal of the nominees and she shared who she's most excited about:

 

 

The AMAs are set to air on October 9th at 8pm EST on ABC.

Before Cardi scoops up awards at the AMAs, she has been busy on social media following her shoe-throwing altercationwith Nicki Minaj at Harper's BAZAAR's NYFW party last weekend and Nicki's harsh Queen Radio episode. 

Bardi is defending her rap crown. She wants everyone to know that she worked hard to get where she's at right now and money can't buy that. Even IF Nicki said she's only winning becaus eof sympathy and payola.  Oop.

In one post, she went off while talking about how she came from the bottom to the top and no one can take that away from her or discredit her work ethic.

"NO LABEL ,NO RADIO PLAY,FRESH OUT OF LOVE AND HIP HOP,ONLY 200K IN MY BANK ACCOUNT ,MY FIRST TOUR !!!, she captioned. "nobody can make you feel like you cheated yourself or you don’t deserve to be where you at when you KNOW YOU WORKED YOURSELF TO THE TOP !!! THANK YOU BARDIGANG !YOU BEEN HERE SINCE THE GET GO!"
