Funkmaster Flex may be one of the most revered DJs in Hip Hop history, but he’s no stranger to controversy for wielding a polarizing opinion on some of the genre’s most beloved emcees.

Most recently, the 52-year-old was spotted on the “Cigar Talk” podcast where he weighed in on the abilities of chart-topping rapstress Cardi B.

“I do think Cardi B’s a terrible rapper. I just do, man,” he said. “She’s an amazing entertainer. I love her on social media. I love the way she talks about a subject. I like her whole swag. I like everything…[but] she’s a terrible rapper, man.”

Needless to say, it wasn’t long before the diva’s devoted fans – affectionately called the #BardiGang – took to Twitter in defense of their fave.

Look inside to see the video that has the ‘Up’ rapper’s supporters up in arms and check out some highlighted clap backs.
