Hi @VersaceSpace! As promised in my talk page, since I have the time today, I'll go ahead and review this article! If no one else gets to it, I would appreciate if you left a review for Not My Responsibility - it's very brief and won't take a while to read :) ‍ ‍ elias. 🧣 ‍  ‍ 💬reach out to me 📝see my work 14:51, 12 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * Obviously not required per the criteria, but I've gone ahead and expanded some citations for this article, as well as included archived versions of links.
 * Article seems stable to me.
 * All two images are fair-use/NFC use. Rationales are... okay, at least for GAN. Their use is clear and appropriate.
 * I'm worried about whether the article satisfies the "broad in its coverage" part of the criteria... I feel like it's missing a "Composition" or "Music/lyrics" section, or at the very least a corresponding paragraph of sufficient length in the "Background" section. Sure, we get a genre, but is there nothing in the sources about the instruments, vocal delivery, or lyricism - even just a broad summary?
 * The "live performances" section is quite short, tbh. Did she perform the song only at the Grammys (at least one worth noting)? This two-sentence paragraph can go on the background section if not, then I'd rename said section to "Background and release"
 * "In the music video Cardi B has a kiss with two women" could use a citation. Ditto with the "In other media" sentences, I believe.
 * this script I have says that PopSugar is not reliable; please replace the citation with one from a better source. Also, I have never seen these publications in GAs before: what makes The Forty Five and Footwear News reliable sources? Do they indicate an editorial policy or a masthead somewhere in their page? Do the authors have bylines in other RS, etc.
 * The second sentence that describes Zoladz's thoughts on "Up" seem better fit for a composition section, although the first sentence seems fitting in "critical reception". Please cut down on all the quotes though - we might run afoul of possible copyright vio.
 * Speaking of which... oh dear lord, I ran this through Earwig and this is not looking good. It reported a 48.7% similarity with a Billboard source - check the "commercial performance" section. The highlighted sentences are word-for-word the same. This is a copyright/plagiarism issue. I'd put this on hold and ask that this urgently be fixed, but compounded with other problems (certain statements that need citations, reliability of sources, broad coverage?) I will have to quickfail this. Please fix the copyvio stuff outside of GA; it will take a while to properly paraphrase the relevant sentences. I appreciate the hard work, but there is still a long way to go.
