Cardi B has pulled her Instagram account down following a social media clash with Azealia Banks who criticised the rapper’s supposed illiteracy and cheap vulgarity in an interview with ‘The Breakfast Club.’
Banks, who is very critical of Cardi’s position in Pop culture, revealed that she believes Cardi’s look, style and sound did little to help art forms fuelled by black women and that the ‘Bodak Yellow’ did not know how to read or write properly.
How Cardi responded?
Today, Cardi has deleted her Instagram account and issued the statement below in response to Banks’ jabs!

Azealia responded with…
Belcalis …… sis, give it up. You have a fever and are leaking breast milk everywhere trying to come up with a refutable comeback. Sis spent 12 hours proofreading a message while still COMPLETELY missing the point. You and whoever wrote this reply for you don’t have the intelligence to engage in this not-so-complex discussion. I spoke about it for all of two minutes in an interview and you respond by calling me unattractive .. mentioning my bleaching my skin and telling me to “suck your ass”. Immediately proving yourself to be exactly who I thought you were.. A bird. Sis.. let us not forget that you look like a big toe with a Hammernail without all of that contour on your face. You are a very mediocre looking light-skin woman with cold sore scars on the sides of her mouth, a coated tongue you love to wag around and horribly deep set eyes. For your information… I bleached my skin due to a severe breakout I had from a depo-provera shot. Some Dark skin women have problems with hyper-pigmentation and it can take years for our scars to fade. Once Again.. you missed the point. The color of my skin has absolutely nothing to do w/ this greater discussion surrounding black women’s culture and our representation in the media. From what I know, you have always identified as a Latina. You’ve only recently began to identify as black once you became a part of hip-hop and felt pressured to represent the women you so often called burnt, bald-headed roaches. Even so, it’s clear that you are having a problem with this new found proximity to blackness as evidenced by your propensity to turn any and all attempts to engage you in these important cultural discussions into faux-sympathetic cry baby rants about how you’re just a dumb bitch from the hood who never asked to be a role model. Reverse psychology will not work here. As a Black Woman in hiphop it is IMPERATIVE that you use your (new found) Black Womanhood responsibly. Saying things to Rolling Stone like “I don’t even use condoms,” when HIV remains a threat to the many minority girls who patronize your music is IRRESPONSIBLE. I suggest you leave these types of cultural conversations alone for now. You don’t have the range.
it’s absurd azealia banks still can say what she wants and her victims have to defend themselves!!
WHY EVEN BOTH TO ENGAGE? REGARDLESS OF LOOKS THIS AZEALIA GIRL WILL ALWAYS SOMETHING TO HATE SOMEONE FOR AND REGARDLESS OF LOOKS CARDI IS STILL REIGNING SUPREME. AZEALIA IS KNOWN FOR OUTBURSTS AND ATTACKS AND HER CAREER IS NON EXISTENT BECAUSE OF IT.
@I Know.. – Yup and Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and countless others careers are NONEXISTENT because of their truthful “outbursts” too!
#Think About It
Cardi needs better PR handlers. She is the TOP DAWG right now, the girl everyone in rap (including Nicki) wants to be! When you are at the top PEASANTS below are always making the most noise! Cardi enjoy your pregnancy & let that miserable troll seek attention elsewhere!
Let’s be real all you b****** want to look like me wanna be in demand get book like me,,,
@ I Hate…- Yes sir quote that Barbi shee-utt!
#Loves It
Why would Nicki want to be anybody when she herself has sold the most records and broke the most records amongst female rappers? Nicki has nothing to do with this but to keep it real Cardi is too soft for the music industry. After all Nicki went through last year she didn’t fold under pressure. Then you have Cardi who is too focused on what everyone else thinks of her. She has a low self esteem clearly, and her cheating baby daddy probably doesn’t help that at all.
“Sis.. let us not forget that you look like a big toe with a Hammernail without all of that contour on your face. You are a very mediocre looking light-skin woman with cold sore scars on the sides of her mouth, a coated tongue you love to wag around and horribly deep set eyes.” I’m DEAD. ??
i love cardi but this got me lol at work
Yeeeeess. I was with Cardi at first but when I read that, OUCH!!!!! She wasn’t even talking to or about me and that got me hurt ??
Wow. This is a new level of nasty.
I’m out. Can’t take more of how nasty communities are getting about skin colour. Empathy and cheering women on had clearly died. Sad times we’ve been heading in for years and social media only heightens every little thing.
Sad sad sad
Cardi has a history of calling black women burnt roaches, monkeys, mayates, etc. F*** her. Now that she’s famous, she constantly plays victim. She is garbage. She still looks down on the fanbase she deems are roaches, she better hope her baby don’t come out looking like one.
Girl go d*** ride somebody else 3 years From now Banks will still be where she was at 3 years ago and you’ll still be on here…. d*** riding
Cardi will be a washed up baby mama 3 years from now. Nobody will be talking about her record breaking hit record, and you’ll be onto the next fad bîtch.
Banks will still be struggling coming at everybody more successful than her so your point?
If azealia banks made cardi b deactivate her instagram AND make her twitter private then that means she spoke nothing BUT FACTS the truth hurts don’t it LOL
I’m going to say AMEN to everything A. Banks, with the exception of the shots about her looks. Once again, A. Banks addressed THE ISSUES and she hit Cardi at her core. I especially like the first and last paragraphs.
#Spot On Azaelia
#Well Said
Lol how have your comments online helped her career boo?
@Cbey..- So in short you’re b*** hurt. LMAO!
#Good
She is clearly a bully, I hope your child doesn’t deactivate his/her life because they were told fake news. I cannot believe the support this bully gets and there is no shame. I’ll be waiting for some belittling smart comment now baby banks.
@Not..- Speaking an opinion is NOT bullying. You Millenials need to get out of the coddle mode and entitlement era that both only exist in your minds.
Like A. Banks said Cardi and whomever wrote that for her just shouldn’t have responded. Cardi’s a wet rat.
Are you really saying AB is not bully? She is worst than DT. Point blank. She has crazy talent and potential but running her mouth is the only way she can stay relevant. She is cunning and clever. She is part of the Slytherin clan. I love the trend of “category” calling you do on every post you do. That’s your venom…. too bad we are use to hate in this site and society. You might be older than most of us so we will call you Lil Banks over here.
@Not Maria.. – Nothing about A. Banks or what she said characterizes her response or personality as that of bullying/bully. As I stated before Cardi should NOT have attempted to respond when she knew full well she’d be slapped in the face with truth. As they say truth hurts. A. Banks pulled her card point for point.
In regards to that other random crap, I have no idea what you are talking about regarding “category” calling or age, and here’s the thing not only do I NOT know what you are talking about YOU don’t know what you are talking about. It’s clear you just wanted to see your screen name on the board. Why don’t you sit and spin kid because you add absolutely NOTHING to the conversation. Quite showing yourself to be a colossal waste of time and space.
#Moron
#Loser
*Quit
You cannot shut the girl up. People all over the world have a different education and Cardi never claimed to be the smartest one in the class. Just watch the Elle episode she did. It was her personality that has gotten her where she is now. It was her opinion or her side so why do you wanna shut her up? Are you done tho? Belittling for no reason. There is no winning or losing, ever. That’s the reality. Substance is subjective. So arressive and defensive, I am the one over it by now. It is crazy you judge based on words on a post. Should I wait for more name calling stuurman?
@Not Maria .. – No one cares that Cardi B is G.E.D. drop out that’s HER PROBLEM. She’s a minstrel show and she is EVERYTHING that is wrong with society. I’m not watching any interviews that this sewer rat does. Her audience are low life’s of equal status such as YOU. So ENJOY! hahaha
I’ve said everything I needed to say about this sewer rat. Deal with it because you really have no choice but to. She’s a copy of a copy of a copy. She steals, she h-o’s, she’s ignorance personified etc. Cardi B lost a long time ago and she’s still lost. You keep trying to make it appear that Cardi B is winner and that’s hilarious to me. That’ like saying that Jerry Springer is a winner or any of the clowns on that show.
Substance is just what that word reads and Cardi B has NONE but really there IS NO EXPECTATION for her to be anything else but (@ss aka the ignorance that she is) shrugs. When you can’t do, don’t and that’s clearly what Cardi B is doing.
We can do this until the end of time by the way. You’re clearly a low life – no life loser just like her so your defense of the sewer rat is sadly understood and HIGHLY COMICAL.
I suggest you take your weak love rant to someone else because YOU WILL GET NOWHERE WITH ME. Take note from YOUR OWN PAGE and just SHUT UP as it is CLEAR that you only want to see you name on the board.
Call Cardi rat but sis winning yo positive banks comments won’t put sis in the running, because I’m pretty sure when she went at bey rih and nick you were saying the samething and now look ??
@Cbey..- You have a mind and mouth only a wet rat like Cardi B could love. Like A. Banks said, YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER RESPONDED because you don’t have the intelligence to do so.
Cardi is winning only in the eyes of her sewer pals. She’s a copy of a copy of a copy that makes her WORTHLESS.
#Remember That
I will remember that 5 years from now when Banks still trying to accomplish a quarter of what that wet rat has and you still online thinking yo comments making her money #rememberthat #youandbankswillstillbeatsquare1
@Cbey.. – Please do remember EVERYTHING that I said as it is all TRUTH and won’t change the FACT that Cardi B is a wet rat. A copy of a copy of a copy, a thief and a sewer rat. (shrugs) It is what it is. I see that you’re of the mindset the money is the cure all huh? It isn’t because if it were your girl Cardi would still be swinging on the pole and playing a long game of suck and blow. (But secretly I’m sure she’s still doing both.)
Oh and please note that YOUR WEAK comments aren’t doing anything for the rat or her bank account but it’s doing volumes for you like making you look even stupider than you ALREADY appear to be. Ghee, way to AIM HIGH in life kid.
#When Strippers Are Idols
#Daddy Issues
@star please remember that all i said is also fact and not just an opinion of someone I don’t. Banks music career is still struggling has been for years and has nothing to do with lightskin women. She attacks all women more successful than her. I see you ignored when the part where I brought up bey rih and nick. And all you have is name calling lol come sis nice try let’s be real you ride and suck a lil to tough. # not a good look
in a few weeks When she start a problem with somebody that’s darkskin and woman cause she a hater let’s see how well you ride.
@CBey… Yeha, yeah, yeah just sit and spin like I told yah. You’re entire point of view is ridiculous and you’re need for attention is a bore.
#Get A Life
*Yeah, yeah, yeah…. Your entire point…
say what you want about Azealia she can read anyone to god damn filth!!
People really using Retardi B’s pregnancy as a crutch when she’s constantly on social media arguing back and forth with randoms. She looks for drama and clearly searches her name. She shouldn’t have responded to Banks. It’s clear she had someonein her ear helping her write that wack clapback.
I swear they refuse to take the training wheels off that girl ??? They’ll excuse any and EVERYTHING they drag others for
Okay BUT DID AZEALIA LIE THOUGH
??!?! I hope people dont let AB reputation make them not listen to the words. She’s absolutely right! Same for girls like Whoa Vicky and Danielle Brigoli, acting “black” when it’s convenient for fame, but probably claimed white all of their lives. Even Miley V**** did it, and now she’s back to “acting white”.
Y’all people should watch dear white people. It talks about all this stuff. Problematic or not, AB is telling no lies
Watch your back azealia, girl they gon do you like they did that guy that was trying to get cardi autograph after the met gala
Azealia is just mad that she’ll never reach the same level of success as Cardi. Just last year Azealia was Team Cards all the way. Claimed to have liked her music, and her personality. Was caught rapping Bodak Yellow word for word in the club. Completely contradicting every single word she’s preaching right now. It wasn’t until Cardi hit #1 on billboard that miss banks flipped the script..Now Cardi is an illiterate piece of trash. Azealia is just acting out her anger of a failed career, and like most blacks, it hurts her to see another doing better than her.
Make-up does wonders for Retardi B’s possum faced a$s. She joined Offest’s harem of baby mama’s and ended her career.
Offset*
I don’t even like Card B like that and think she’s overrated but this Azealia chick is nothing but jealous. This is hardcore, soul scarring jealousy at its worst because she wants to be in the position Card B is in and will never be. She should have ignored her. Azealia has a problem with every successful black woman or minority woman in music because she is a bird looking for crumbs at this point. This little rant won’t change that.
I really wished Cardi had ignored her.
The woman is PREGNANT for God’s sake. This AB lady has no heart. As a mother of two who went through prpregnancies, adding stress to a pregnant woman’s life is one of the worse, most insensitive, careless things another woman or even person could do. I never hear anything about this AB lady until she is attacking someone. Her entire name is built on attacking real famous women of color. She needs to focus on building a real name for herself based on whatever talent she has, if any.
AB is some nasty attention seeker. Where your hits at tho?? Oh, nowhere
Regardless how anyone feel about Azealia Banks she spoke nothing but truth. Moreover, she an intelligent, articulate outspoken woman of color which many deem a threat.
I’m sorry, But Azealia read THE f*** out of Cardi. She finally gets a W lmao
