Current rap sensation Cardi B just backhanded fellow female rapper Azealia Banks who was criticizing her chart topping hit ‘Yellow Bodak’.
Social media gadfly Banks questioned Cardi B’s  rights to be ‘ Blackness’ and the unthinkable crime of hitting No. 1 on the charts, before the incomparable Azealia. Cardi’s response was swift, brutal and epic.

Banks had been quick to slam the Bronx-bred rapper after her hit “Bodak Yellow” topped the Billboard charts, but Cardi hit right back with a video proving Banks loves the song just as much as the rest of the world.
Cardi, 24, made history earlier this week, as only the second lone female rappers to hit No. 1 with no featured artists . First was Lauryn Hill nearly 20 years ago.
While much of the music industry heaped praise on Cardi for accomplishing the feat, controversial singer Azealia Banks took to Twitter to pen a scathing attack on the Cardi, calling her a “poor man’s” Nicki Minaj and criticizing the music industry for turning their backs on black women.

“I’m sorry. Black industry men are too hype for this Latina girl I’ve never seen them jump like this for Remy (Ma) or Nicki (Minaj),” Banks wrote. “Spinning this ‘for the culture’ story when they are simply letting white men at Atlantic buy them into hating their own women… I wanted spicy Latina and she gave me poor mans Nicki.”
Belcalis Almanzar, aka Cardi B’, is a native New Yorker of Trinidadian and Dominican descent.

“Charlemagne and black men in hip hop should have gotten me, remy AND nicki a number one before they gave Cardi or Iggy (Azalea) one,” she wrote. “But literally white guys buy black men away from black women and it’s soo cringe.”
