Azealia Banks Beefs Cardi B: What’s News?

Published

If you’ve lived in a ‘face me I face you’ house, you’re bound to have some of the most interesting characters as neighbours.

One of such characters is the ‘like-quarrel-pass-play’ neighbour. In modern lingo they are called haters. These types don’t seem to have any prospects or purpose in life except to be looking for someone to fight with upandan.

They can start a quarrel with you for saying ‘good morning’ with a smile. Like how dare you mock me with a smile when you know that I’ve not sold any market for days?

True story, it has happened to me before.

But without further ado, I present to you,  HipHop’s version of that yama yama neighbour, Azealia Banks.

She is ‘allegedly’ a rapper but I’ve never heard any of her songs. The only time she’s in the news is when she’s beefing somebody – and she’s beefed a lot of people from Nicki Minaj to Jay z to Iggy Azalea and even Eminem.

This time though, Azealia has now set her sights on Cardi B, going off on the Bronx native in a since-deleted Twitter rant in which she attributed Cardi’s success to music industry racism.

“Black industry men are too hype for this Latina girl I’ve never seen them jump like this for remy [Ma] or nicki,” Banks wrote.

“Charlemagne [Tha God] and black men in hip-hop should have gotten me, remy AND nicki a number one before they gave cardi or iggy [Azalea] one.”

Funny thing is Cardi is of Trinidadian and Dominican descent, and for reasons that I can’t possibly fathom, Banks feels she should have tailored her public image accordingly:

“She’s only black when black want to include themselves in a success story,” Azealia wrote.

“I thought she was gonna be a Latina hottie and not a poor mans Nicki Minaj,” she added. “It went the other way and now I’m over it.”

On Instagram, Banks was even more savage, calling Cardi “a f-ck toy” who is “super inarticulate,” and accusing her “suck[ing] d-ck for raps.”

Cardi B however had the best response for Banks. She uploaded a video of Banks dancing to her hit single ‘Bodak Yellow ” in a club and captioned it;

“One of the reasons Bodak Yellow went #1! Cuz even the HATERS love it!”

Ouch!
