Rapper Cardi B claps back at controversial comments made my rapper Jermaine Dupri in a recent interview.
Many female rappers have emerged within the past few years, ultimately changing the rap game as we know it. Newcomers such as Megan thee Stallion and Saweetie have established themselves in the rap game, while artists such as Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are seemingly some of the most talked about rappers in the industry.
However, some people seem to have mixed feelings about this shift in music. In a recent interview with People, Jermaine Dupri stated that he thinks all female rappers talk about the same thing and have little variety.
“They all rapping about the same thing and I don’t think they’re showing us who is the best rapper,” Dupri said. “For me, it’s like strippers rapping.”
Cardi B quickly took to Twitter to respond, posting a video expressing her opinion that female rappers only rap about their sexuality because it is what people want to hear.
“It seems like that’s what people want to hear. I ain’t even gonna front because let me tell you something. When I did “Be Careful”, people was talking mad sht in the beginning, like “What the fck is this? This is not what I expected,” Cardi said. “If that’s what people isn’t trying to hear, then it’s like alright, I’mma start rapping about my p*ssy again.”
Cardi then went on to say that the women rapper who do not talk about their sexuality are not supported like those who do, as that is not mainstream. She also made a point to shout out other female rappers in another video such as Chika, Rapsody, and Tierra Whack for their efforts.
