Cardi B is airing out Wiz Khalifa after feeling slighted by one of his tweets.
Khalifa was talking to fans on Twitter amid the announcement of the 2021 Grammy nominations on Tuesday (November 24), when one fan noted the fact that Cardi got an award while Nicki Minaj still has yet to “is the biggest proof that they don’t know a shit bout music.” The Taylor Gang CEO seemingly agreed with the comment in his retweeted response, which sparked Cardi’s reaction.
“Most self made artists have this problem,” he wrote.
Shortly after catching wind of the tweet, Cardi pulled up a DM Khalifa sent her in 2016 and pointed out the hypocrisy.
“This was Nikkas in my dms in 2016!” she wrote with a screenshot of the DM. “They really support you when you grinding at the bottom then it’s a different story when you make it !”
In a second tweet, she criticized him for pitting her against Minaj.
“I don’t understand why niggas entertain tweets that pit successful women against each other?” she wrote. “Ya not tired of that? Specially when ya was rooting hard when a bitch was at the bottom.”
In his 2016 message, Khalifa praised the Bronx native for the way she handles things and pushed her to continue.
“You got your cause and your [sic] sticking to it,” he wrote at the time. “Don’t stray away from the things that are important to you and make you you. Your [sic] doing a great job and the way you address things is admirable. Keep your light shining and don’t let others take it. Peace and love.”
Cardi won a Grammy for the Best Rap Album in 2019 with her debut, Invasion of Privacy. While Minaj has been nominated multiple times over the years, she has still yet to be acknowledged. In a tweet on Tuesday, she reminded fans of her first snub in 2012 when she lost out on the Best New Artist award to fellow newcomer Bon Iver.

“Never forget the Grammys didn’t give me my best new artist award when I had 7 songs simultaneously charting on billboard & bigger first week than any female rapper in the last decade- went on to inspire a generation,” Minaj wrote. “They gave it to the white man Bon Iver. #PinkFriday.”
Last month, rumors circulated Minaj and Cardi would be collaborating on a song together following a years-long feud. The assumptions were only based off of a cryptic tweet from Cardi that made no mention or reference to Minaj, however, so the rumor has no real basis.
maybe your dumb twerk music wasn’t grammy worthy
FUCK THESE HOES!!!! A DETRIMENT TO YOUNG WOMEN!!!! ANOTHER BLACK GIRL LOST……SMFH!!!!
Funny. I don’t see anything wrong with what Wiz said at all. He pretty much support both of them without saying anything negative about the other directly. I’m not understanding the issue really.
Both Minaj and Cardi are clones of Lil Kim, and horrible rappers. What happened to ORIGINALITY in rap music?
The exact type of Black “Queen” I want my daughters to grow up and look up to!!! Keep attributing why the black and brown communities are messed up to four hundred years of bakery and whiteys fault when you are making role models outta these trash piles!!
Four hundred years of bakery??? Nooooooooo!! What about the people with gluten allergies??
Aren’t the biggest purchasers of music, White people? By your dumbass logic, white people put these “artist” where they’re at.
I don’t understand why the frustration, someone took it out of context and made it personal. Wiz can be a lot of things but a hater? Nah. Blacc excellence back at it.
This chick owes me 2 minutes of time now…
And like a dumbass you clicked AND commented on the article.
He’s a nut ass dude from Pittsburgh he’s always been.
Looking extra trannyish in that photo!
Hopefully in real life you all don’t act like this. Black we gotta do better. Don’t spend all day gossiping like women on the internet smh.gif
How does the Wiz comment prove he switched up or not supporting Cardi anymore? That DM she posted didn’t prove a thing. Congratulating her on her success doesn’t equate to viewing her as a self-made artist. Cardi is a product of her own public buffoonery and that’s not a secret.. all the best to her tho.
So he supported her success previously, but he has respect for nickis path too? Cardi b so fucking sensitive….
