Be Careful, Azealia Banks — Cardi B is not here for your commentary.
After Banks referred to the breakout rapper as a ‘caricature of a black woman’ during an interview on The Breakfast Club radio show Friday, Cardi B is speaking out in a since-deleted Instagram post Saturday.
“A woman who constantly finds joy in belittling black women… can’t try and stand for them because it’s convenient! The difference between me and you, I’ve never pretended to be or represent someone I’m not! I’ve made it where I am for being myself and staying true to that. I’n not trying to represent nobody but myself,” she wrote. “I know who I am! A daughter to a Hispanic father and a Caribbean mother and I’m proud of that!”
She also slammed Banks for calling her “illiterate.”
“How smart are you if you don’t know that the meaning of illiterate means to not know how to read or write. I can do both, and speak two languages fluently. Just because I mix a few words up forget to use commas or misspell a few words doesn’t make me illiterate and doesn’t make me stupid.”
