Hey everyone, welcome! Recently, Cardi B has found herself embroiled in quite a bit of drama, as usual. It can be quite a challenge to keep track of all her controversies. Initially, I tried to steer clear of this latest story, but I feel compelled to discuss it now because Cardi B is currently in a feud with some random kids and their parents. So, let’s delve into how this all unfolded.
About a week ago, Travis Scott released his Netflix documentary titled ‘Look Mom I Could Fly’. In the documentary, Travis expressed his disappointment at not winning a Grammy for Best Rap Album. Now, the Grammy for Best Rap Album went to Cardi B, leaving many people feeling conflicted about her victory over Travis Scott, Pusha T, Nipsey Hussle, and Mac Miller. It sparked a significant controversy, and I delved into it in detail.
Upon viewing the documentary, Travis Scott’s fans took to Twitter, launching criticisms at Cardi B. Responding multiple times, Cardi B initially took to Twitter to defend her album and justify her Grammy win, emphasizing the effort she had put into it. Later, on Instagram Live, she directly addressed Travis Scott’s fans, expressing her discomfort with the backlash and the divisive energy directed towards her by those who are practically family. She acknowledged the excellence of Scott’s documentary while asserting that all Grammy nominees had outstanding albums. Cardi B expressed frustration at the use of her pregnancy as an excuse, emphasizing that it was merely an additional challenge faced during the album’s creation. She criticized the relentless attacks from some fans, using colorful language to assert her position.
Interestingly, a video surfaced on the internet featuring young boys dissing Cardi B. These boys, known as the Z Nation, threw some sharp words, claiming “that’s my word, you’ll be smiling like a Turk, you belong in the zoo, you’ll be shining like a bird.” They were in two teams, but their diction wasn’t quite up to par. While I shouldn’t find it amusing, these kids really went all in on Cardi B. But then things took a turn. Many assumed Cardi B was firing back at these kids with her statement, “Not gonna know your white boy’s mother, you come at me all [ _ ] day long, minister, come and stay on mother [ _ ] plane.” However, Cardi clarified that she wasn’t targeting the Z Nation kids but rather Travis Scott fans who happened to be kids too. She explained, “First of all, I was addressing a fan base that was coming at me regarding albums and Grammys, and people twisted my words to make it seem like I was targeting those kids.” She added, “Why aren’t y’all reaching out to the parents of these little kids talking trash about others?” She further expressed, “I wasn’t even aware of this video until it was blown up on Twitter. I don’t understand why my entire life isn’t on display; this was about the Travis situation. Secondly, even if I did address them, I can’t. Little kids shouldn’t be online talking trash about adults.” In essence, Cardi clarified, “I wasn’t talking about those kids, but they can still catch this heat if needed.”
Cardi B found herself caught up in a heated exchange after the media spotlighted a confrontation with a group of kids and their parents. The father of the youngsters, dubbed the Z Nation kids, orchestrated an interview with Page Six, where they aimed to teach Cardi B a lesson about bullying, claiming her response to their track validated their efforts. While it’s evident that both the father and kids are seeking attention, Cardi B seems oblivious to this fact. Her propensity to react impulsively only fuels the fire. Had she not engaged with Travis Scott’s fans previously, this altercation might have been avoided. However, Cardi B’s reflex to defend herself whenever her name is tarnished backfires, especially when the adversaries are minors and their guardians. The Z Nation kids have a history of stirring controversy with their rap battles, even targeting 6ix9ine previously. Their motives clearly lean towards garnering attention, and Cardi B inadvertently fuels their pursuit for fame by engaging in this feud.
You know, I want her to go live, but I just get exhausted with this situation. It’s frustrating, you know? Last week, I went live, probably remember that, sipping on a Corona, addressing the folks coming at me on Twitter, these young fans of Travis Scott who got riled up after that documentary. It really irked me, so I spoke my mind on live. I mean, I get it, everyone has die-hard fans, but then they took a snippet of that live. They’re trying to twist it, claiming I was cussing out some supposed 10-year-olds who apparently made a diss track about me. I didn’t even know about that video, but now everyone’s coming at me, like, “Cardi, why are you beefing with these kids?” First off, I wasn’t even talking about them. And when I did hear the track, I was like, “Hold up.” Even if I was talking about those kids, why aren’t y’all questioning the parents letting them curse out artists, especially considering they’re suburban white boys? They have the nerve to come at me, a grown woman of color, Dominican descent, and then everyone’s trying to make it about them. The parents need to step up, instead of running to these gossip pages, stirring up drama.
You have People magazine, then all these radio stations chiming in, and even some bloggers jumping in without doing proper research. Adam, before you go ahead, check out the live feed. What was it all about? They’re going around as if I was talking about them, and now the kids are doing interviews about it. I wasn’t even talking about them, but since they thought I was, I’m not even going to bother. It’s appalling that these parents are using their kids to gain social media attention. I don’t usually criticize parenting, being a parent myself, but using kids for clout? That’s crossing a line.
I stumbled upon this situation where the father, who owns a media company, is using his ten-year-old kids to talk about a female rapper. Yet, when it comes to discussing male rappers like NBA Youngboy, who can be equally controversial, they wouldn’t dare involve their kids. It’s hypocritical. And then they come at me because I’m famous and attract clicks. It’s not just them; it’s a trend among grown adults, using their kids for their own gain.
They thought it was smart to use their kids, and now they’re mad because I’m calling them out. I couldn’t care less if they get upset. I’m calling out this behavior because it’s wrong. These parents are spoiling their suburban kids and not teaching them to respect adults. My parents would have disciplined me if I dared to speak out of turn. Children should know their place and stay out of adult matters.
And don’t even get me started on the blogs. They’re quick to post without verifying the facts. Did they even consider the situation in the Bahamas right now? Instead, they’re busy gossiping about nonsense. They never bother to reach out to me or my team for confirmation. I’m fed up with it. Every time I speak up, someone’s complaining. But why wouldn’t I? They’re always disrespecting me and trying to silence me. Well, now I’m hitting back, exposing their neglectful parenting and their thirst for attention. I won’t stoop to attacking their kids, though. Those children are victims of their parents’ poor choices. It’s a shame they don’t know better, but their parents should. It’s time they learn some respect and stop exploiting their children for fame.
Study, go read a book instead of playing internet tough guys. But hey, it’s not entirely your fault. Blame it on your parents for recording your antics and thinking it was adorable to share on social media. Then they took it a step further by weaving my life into yours, doing interviews about me like they’re some kind of celebrity. Parents shouldn’t exploit their kids for likes and attention. I could easily expose their kids’ names to my followers, but I won’t stoop to that level. They’re innocent. It’s on you, parents, for thrusting your child into this mess just to chase clout. Know your place, be responsible adults, not attention-hungry dogs. Now everyone’s coming after me for something I didn’t even know about, but I’m not backing down. And for those who blame me, why aren’t you pointing fingers at the parents? They’re the real culprits here, exploiting their own flesh and blood for internet fame. That’s not cute.
