Rapper Cardi B has been on a meteoric rise to legendary status since first hitting the
scene in Love & Hip Hop: New York.
From dancing in a club to hitting the top of the charts, her success is undeniable.
But her ascension to superstardom has attracted some critics who reportedly can't stand Cardi
B.
Sommore
Cardi B made a beeline for the charts with "Bodak Yellow," but not everyone was impressed
by the rapper's overnight success.
Comedian Sommore ignited drama with Cardi in 2017, after she shared a now-deleted clip
of the "Bodak Yellow" video to her Instagram with the caption,
"Just cause [you're] busy don't mean [you're] winning…
You better be reading [your] paperwork!"
"I think my only thing that I'm addicted to is drama."
Cardi didn't waste any time clapping back at Sommore, commenting,
"I know you must be so busy and overbooked that finding the time to give me 'advice'
was hard.
But I talk to Christ and my mother everyday and I don't need it!!!"
Sommore reportedly turned off her Instagram comments after Cardi's message and never issued
a response.
Joseline Hernandez
Just a couple of years after leaving Love & Hip Hop, Cardi B managed to turn her fame
into a booming music career, becoming the first female rapper to score two Number 1
hits as well as earning multiple Grammy nominations and a win.
Meanwhile, fellow Love & Hip Hop star Joseline Hernandez has failed to replicate those money
moves, and she seems pretty upset about it.
"Think I give a f--- about your contract?
Kiss my motherf----ing a--."
Rumors of Hernandez' ill feelings for the rap star made headlines in August 2017, when
her ex, Stevie J, claimed Hernandez wouldn't let him see their daughter because Hernandez
was so jealous of Cardi B.
We're not sure how the two correlate, but this is Joseline Hernandez we're talking about.
"Say anything that you want to say about me.
Ima get you back.
I'm gonna show you how to really play the game."
Three months later, Hernandez released the diss track "Hate Me Now," in which she bashes
an unnamed Bronx rapper with gang ties, who listeners widely believe must be Cardi B.
The latter's fans took to social media to troll Hernandez with red shoe emojis, a reference
to one of Cardi's most famous lyrics about red bottom shoes.
Azealia Banks
When "Bodak Yellow" hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 2017, nearly everyone was singing
Cardi B's praises.
Rapper Azealia Banks, however, was carrying a different tune.
According to Complex, Banks claimed that Cardi, who is of Dominican and Trinidadian descent,
is only considered black when it's convenient, calling her the quote "poor man's Nicki [Minaj]."
She also declared that Cardi had lowered the bar for black women's culture, telling The
Breakfast Club,
"I feel like, maybe two years ago, the conversation surrounding black women's culture was really
reaching an all-time high and we were really, you know, discussing our power."
She then added,
"And then, everything just kind of changed and then it was, like, Cardi B."
Nicki Minaj
Fans have speculated about drama between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj since 2017, suggesting the
emcees were snubbing each other in their music.
Initially, both women appeared to deny any bad blood, but when the Migos song "MotorSport"
dropped, which featured both rappers, that rumored feud came to a head.
Though the ladies denied throwing barbs at one another in that track, Minaj did admit
that some of Cardi's comments about their collaboration "hurt" her feelings, telling
Beats 1 that Cardi had never shown her "genuine love."
"The first interview she did after Motorsport came out, it just really hurt me…
I kinda felt ambushed."
The emcees appeared to make peace at the Met Gala in 2018, but that ceasefire ended months
later at New York Fashion Week.
Cardi claimed Minaj "liked" questionable tweets about Cardi's parenting skills and about her
infant daughter, Kulture.
And Cardi suggested that's what caused her to reportedly throw a high heel at Minaj and
her entourage.
Cardi was then escorted from the event with a knot on her forehead.
Minaj denied Cardi's accusations and accused her counterpart of trying to save face, telling
Queen Radio,
"I didn't even feel the need to defend myself that night…
She has built her career off of sympathy and payola."
Naomi Campbell
While chatting about the infamous Harper's Bazaar Icons party at New York Fashion Week,
where Cardi B and Nicki Minaj got into their fight, according to Page Six, Naomi Campbell
didn't just diss the rapper, she fired a shot at the entire guest list, telling Andy Cohen,
"No, it was called an icon party, but there were no icons there."
So… not Cardi… or Kendall, Bella, or Christina?
Got it.
But while Cardi has maintained that she had a good reason for attacking Minaj, Campbell
wasn't feeling it.
"I was disappointed.
I don't want to see women of color fight.
I don't want to see women fight period."
"Yeah."
Yikes.
You know you've messed up when the famously hot-tempered Campbell is speaking out about
your beef.
