Azealia Banks Explains Cardi B Diss
Azealia Banks is still out here being Hip-Hop’s bitter bed sore. The 212 rapper who got bloody shoes blasted for speaking ill of Cardi B’s Billboard success is still speaking out on their drama.
As previously reported the malignant mean girl just couldn’t help but diss Cardi [and black men who love her] after she became the first female artist to hit no.1 on Billboard with a solo single since Lauryn Hill in ’98.
But Cardi didn’t back down and posted a video of hating azz Azealia dancing to “Bodak Yellow.”

Following that Azealia was dragged (of course), but did you know she actually gave Cardi some props—-before shadily ranting against her and black men once again?
Azealia posted an IG comment about Cardi’s success and called her “cute” but added that she had to blast her because Cardi “isn’t the right face for female rap.”
“It’s about making sure black men give alllll female rappers a shot at the top slot,” wrote Azealia. “There are legions of black women who have put so much into this craft who are better than Cardi and Azealia Banks who don’t get a chance because black men don’t want to f*** them.
“Cardi is very fun but she’s just simply not the right look for “the face of female rap,” she added. “It’s a gimmick that’s gone too far. That’s all.”

So why couldn’t Azealia articulate this point earlier instead of calling Cardi an “Audubon Avenue smut who f***s for raps?”
SMH…
What do YOU think about Azealia’s explanation???
