Jermaine Dupri is one of the most successful and brilliant rap businessmen of all time, not to mention his track record of great production and ability to churn out hits. That didn’t stop him from having some really jacked up thoughts about female rappers. “For me, it’s like strippers rapping,” he said on PEOPLE Now.
This, uh, did not go over well. Cardi B had an eloquent response:
“Okay guys I have seen a lot of people saying nowadays female rappers only talk about their p— and now that Jermaine Dupri brought it up I’m going to say something.”
“First of all, I rap about my p— because she’s my best friend and second of all it’s because it seems like that’s what people want to hear,” said Bardi.
“When I did ‘Be Careful‘ people was talking mad s— in the beginning like ‘What the f— is this?’ ‘This is not what I was expecting,’” Cardi said of her song, which she raps about getting her heart broken.
“It’s like if that’s what people ain’t trying to hear then I’m going to start rapping about my p— again,” she said.
Cardi then explained that there are a lot of “female rappers who rap their asses off who don’t talk about their p— and y’all don’t support them. So don’t blame that on us when y’all not the ones who are supporting them.”
Cardi then llisted rappers like Rapsody, Tierra Whack, Oranicuhh and Kamaiyah, who talk about non-vaginal subject matter.
“I feel we need to put these girls in more magazines and blogs. Radio DJs play these girls,” Cardi said.
The rest of the internet did not have an eloquent response like Cardi. Jermaine should probably mention that a lot (no, all) male rappers also pretty much talk about sex all the time, too. And, guess what, there’s nothing wrong with it! There’s nothing wrong with anyone talking about sex because sex is part of life. It’s just that only the women who do it get chastised for it. Anyway, Twitter came for that a$$ with all the smoke. Take a look…
Never forget that Jermaine Dupri said Beyoncé was no Ashanti early in her career. His opinion on women in the industry don't exactly have a great track record.

So I guess Jermaine Dupri is gonna skip over the fact that damn near every male rap is about popping pills, drinking lean, selling drugs, partying, and money. Typical misogynistic hypocrisy. pic.twitter.com/2uIYCLDFhE

Female rappers been rapping bout their pussy since the 90s. Let’s stop pretending all of a sudden it’s a problem, the fake outrage is annoying and Jermaine Dupri at his big age needs to shift

Jermaine Dupri really had the nerve to sit and say that female rappers rap about the same thing when a majority of the male rappers out right now are rapping about nothing but sex, money, and drugs pic.twitter.com/c1YSlAFuF6

Jermaine Dupri is right but if you're going to criticize the women, make sure you criticize the men the same way because they all follow the same blue print of women, money, and cars. pic.twitter.com/5L37esKn9N

My issue with Jermaine Dupri’s statement is that they don’t keep the same energy for male rappers. The last decade we’ve had to listen to niggas rap about murders and robberies they never commented and all the lean they drink.
