The House rapper Azealia Banks has something to say about her fellow New Yorker Cardi B…and it isn’t pleasant.
After criticising the entertainer’s rise, which she believes is powered by payola, on Twitter, Banks hit out at her by calling her the poor man’s Nicki Minaj.
Amused, Cardi uploaded a video of Azealia partying to her #1 single ‘Bodak Yellow‘ prompting Banks to respond by lifting the lid on what she says is Cardi’s ties to professional prostitution.
