Cardi B is fed up. In a video uploaded to Twitter Tuesday (May 16), the reality star and aspiring rapper offered a heated response to the backlash she’s received from men over her music.
She brought up her stripper background and questioned why she’s criticized for her past career choices when “your fucking favorite rapper” used to flip burgers at McDonald’s. Cardi also added that she’s real with her music and implied some rappers have never learned how to do that.
“A lot of y’all men, I be getting a lot of backlash and fucked up backlash,” Cardi B said. “And it be from y’all niggas. Especially because I used to be a stripper. Okay, I used to be a stripper. I needed a job that’s gonna feed me. Your fucking favorite rapper used to fucking work in places like McDonald’s, my nigga. At least everything I rap about is real life shit. I always been a static-y bitch. And I always been a bitch that got it poppin’. Your favorite rapper is not like that. Your favorite rapper is not a gangsta. Your favorite rapper raps about selling drugs that he never even touched before.”
Toward the end of the video, Cardi went on to call out men for bashing women in general.
“Just because I used to be a stripper does not mean that I’m not fucking talented, my nigga,” she said. “I sit down. I write my shit. And I take my time in the studio. And everything I rap about is real life shit. I don’t lie about the shit that I have or the shit that I did. I always been like that. Y’all niggas always bashing women down. Fuck outta here. We gave birth to y’all niggas. We made y’all niggas. So respect my shit. And go listen to my mothafuckin mixtape.”
Cardi, who was recently nominated for Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the upcoming BET Awards, received plenty of support from those on Twitter, but a handful of users opted for sarcasm instead. Check out the posts below.

My favourite rapper never claimed to be gangasta ! Lol at her shitting on mcds when she stripped for money
That sentiment is spot on but this skunk is not gangsta either.
Hey I don’t mind her rapping butt ass naked sex sells now of days
I’d hit it. She just needs a good man in her life to treat her right. Forget these other dudes. They’d bed her if she gave them a chance.
This bitch is garbage. Please cover real hip-hop, not this national enquirer version bullshit. Should be “Cardi B Gone.”
Id fuck the shit outta her ugly ass
You sell a sexualized image and get upset when folks don’t respect you because of it. You made that bed so lay in it.
Cardi B is a joke. She tries really hard to stand for something so people can take her serious but no one cares for her. She needs to quit. If you gonna keep making music, stop seeking approval because no one is gonna give it to you. They might give it to someone else but not a cardi b.
I Feel Her. She’s Right. Its a Sexist Society We Live In. And I Respect Her For Keeping It A Buck When Lying Is Like The 5th Element In HipHop.
I really doubt she writes anything?
Cardi I have no beef wit her 15 mins of fame is just about up she is correct about a lot of hate in the rap game right now its over run wit way to many fake gangsta”s suspect down low clowns and little to no talent bums
