Cardi B gives critics a mouthful

CARDI B has deactivated her Instagram account after defending her Grammy Award win.

The Bodak Yellow hitmaker took home the Best Rap Album prize at Sunday’s ceremony for her debut LP Invasion of Privacy, and after the show, she took to social media to defend her win when some people claimed other nominees were more deserving of the gong.

Shortly after posting her rant, in which she highlighted the extensive work that went into creating her album, the 26-year-old rapper decided to deactivate her account.

Cardi originally posted two rants in defence of her win, one of which was deleted before she took down her account, and was an expletivefilled video in which she said she was “sick” of being dragged down.

She said in the now-deleted clip: “I’ve been taking a lot of s*** today. I’m seeing a lot of bulls*** today and I saw a lot of s*** last night, and I’m sick of this s***. I work hard for my motherf***ing album.

“My album went two-time platinum, my n **** , and every chart that there was, my album was always Top 10. Number one album, as well.”

After deleting the video, she then posted a photo caption in which she explained how hard she had worked on her record.

She wrote: “Slept in the studio on leather sofas for three months straight, migraines, in Atlanta in Miami away from my family. I have four songs that couldn’t make the album cause my nose was so stuffy bro I was huffy puffy… I had @ offsetyrn and @brooklyn.johnny reaching out to the world for a verse on top of that I was depress (sic) cause everybody was suspecting I was pregnant and I kept reading Cardi you ‘stupid’, ‘you ruined your career’… My album went #1 and spend [sic] 21 weeks straight on billboard top 10! Every song is gold or platinum or higher. I listen to my album and I cry because I know the hell I went thruu doing the album. (sic).” | Bang Showbiz
