Cardi B has the internet talking about her once again. The New Yorker of Dominican and Trinidadian descent had online trolls clowning how she speaks.
“At what point does making fun of Cardi B’s speech patterns become racist?” an X user asked about the 31-year-old Hip-Hop star. That question garnered a quote-tweet by Cardi.
In response, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker posted, “Awwwww thanks for defending me [pleading face emoji]. FCK THEM. I will never change the way I talk.”
She continued, “I became famous from that, just being myself! Then I started making music and became a millionaire out of it. THIS IS A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR ACCENT BABBYY OKKKKRRR.”
Cardi B recently hopped on the remix of GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” single. The newer version of the track features Cardi taking a direct shot at Massachusetts-bred rapper Bia.
“Wanna Be Remix” led to Bia dropping her “Sue Meee?” diss track directed at Cardi B. The bad blood reportedly began when Bia accused Cardi of copying her style which the Bronx native has denied.
“You should be home with your kids ’cause b####, you speak like second grade,” Bia raps on “Sue Meee?” That line may have sparked the conversation about Cardi’s pronunciation and diction.
When an X user told Cardi B to get in the booth, the Invasion of Privacy album creator hinted that music could be coming. She clapped back, “I’m hopping in the booth after I go to the gym, do this Zoom and get my pedi… GET OFF YOUR BREAK AND MAKE ME A CHEESEBURGER.”
