Azealia Banks Calls Cardi B An ‘Industry Plant’ And Roasts Iggy Azalea

Azealia Banks recently returned to Twitter after she was banned from the app in 2020, and she has not been wasting a moment. Last month, she showed a soft side by unexpectedly coming to Cara Delevingne’s defense. But now she’s back to starting drama by calling Cardi B an industry plant and roasting Iggy Azalea.

After Banks praised Cardi’s song “Bodak Yellow,” someone replied suggesting that Cardi is an industry plant. Banks quote-tweeted it, writing: “She was an industry plant lmao. But sis took advantage of the opportunity and rode that b*tch the f*ck out, assembled the right team, seized the moment and made herself a cultural mainstay. U have to respect it.”

When someone brought up Iggy Azalea, Banks was less inclined to pay compliments. “Sis really was supposed to use T.I for whatever he was worth, drop the blaccent – give fancy and a slew of other kesha type joints, then give fashion mogul Victoria Beckham KUNT,” she wrote. “But she’s giving the single mom thing she really thought whiteness would shield her from.”

She added: “Lmao and ur dumb ass is really trying it. House music is a black American art form. All that music u think is native to the UK is lifted from black American groups like underground resistance, drexciya etc. Donna Summer is literally the first techno artist in history.”

Cardi B Celebrates Nine Months Of Her And Offset’s Second Child Wave With An Iced-Out Instagram Post

In a world where negativity grows at an exponential rate in various areas, it is always refreshing to revel in life’s most tender moments, especially the celebration of new life. Cardi B and Offset had their second child Wave Set Cephus nine months ago, and yesterday (June 5) the Bronx rapper shared some cute photos of her son. The pictures show Wave smiling while sporting a beanie with some heavy bling around his neck and in his ears, revealing his lush curls to the world, and simply staring innocently into the camera.

Wave, born in September, is the younger sibling to now three-year-old Kulture. Cardi first shared Wave’s name and a picture of his face back in April with an Instagram post before Offset took it a step further and revealed their Essence cover featuring all of his children, as the “Straightenin” rapper had three others prior to marrying and conceiving with Cardi B. Though they have had their marital troubles over the years, it is nice to see the couple happy and flourishing alongside their lovely family.

Check out Cardi B’s Instagram post of young Wave Set Cephus and the Essence magazine cover above.

Cardi B Sides With Joe Budden’s Strip Club Criticism

Cardi B Diapers

On Thursday, Joe Budden took to Instagram to criticize New York City strip clubs for not hiring Black strippers. Budden said that the summer is coming up and the clubs will be impacted by their lack of diversity.

“NY strip clubs, not only are you not hiring Black women, but you’re purposely hiring the SAME exact girl.. Your promoter having a type is gonna lose y’all money this Summer. This is disgusting (not the girls, the optics),” Budden wrote via Instagram,” Budden said in his post.

In now-deleted tweets, on Friday, Cardi B sided with Budden’s comments and shared her own personal experiences with discrimination during her time as a stripper.

“Funny thing [you] say that because when I was a dancer certain clubs wouldn’t let me work on ‘Latin Nights’ cause apparently I didn’t look Spanish enough wit my braids! I even spoke about strip club and colorism b4,” Cardi tweeted. 

However, this is not the first time Cardi has been vocal about the discrimination she saw while stripping in NYC. During a 2016 interview with DJ Vlad, Cardi spoke on the increase of “lighter skin” girls being hired over “darker skin” girls.

Some users came for Cardi in the comments, bringing up her and Kim Kardashian as the standard for desirability for most men. Cardi then brought up how certain clubs would not hire her to work on Latin night because they thought she didn’t look Spanish enough.

“Funny thing u say that because when I was a dancer certain clubs wouldn’t let me work on “Latin nights” cause apparently I didn’t look Spanish enough with my braids! I even spoke about strip club & colorism b4,” Cardi said.

Cardi B Is Enamored With A Pair Of Dolls That Look Strikingly Like Her And Offset

Whether it’s a Snapchat filter, a drawing from a caricature artist, or a customized video game avatar, it’s always fun to see a rendering of yourself that presents you in a different light. Cardi B got a taste of that earlier this week when she shared a photo of dolls that look a great deal like herself and Offset.

In the three photos, the Offset doll lovingly embraces the Cardi figure from behind. Both are decked out in teeny-tiny jewelry, while Cardi wears a pink bikini and Offset has a sleeveless, all-white look. Cardi captioned the post, “Okay then ….MOOD [crying-laughing emoji].”

Speaking of dolls, Cardi B actually once had some big plans of her own on that front. Back in March 2021, she visited Today to announce she was working on a doll that looked like her and hoped to expand the project to include other artists, too, with the end goal being better representation in the doll space for people with different looks. By the end of the year, though, it was reported that the entire line had been canceled due to manufacturing and shipping delays caused by COVID-19, as well as quality concerns.

Cardi B Gave A Seductive Pole Dance To Offset While On Vacation

Cardi B had an eventful holiday weekend in Cabo San Lucas with her husband Offset. During their vacation, they encountered the unusual sight of a yacht sinking. Cardi captured the moment on camera while offering her usual hilarious comedy. “Oh my God, they can’t do nothing about it?” she wondered. “There ain’t no big boat that could save it?!?”

Later on, it appeared that the couple went to a club together, where Cardi channeled her old job by putting on a pole dance for her husband — as well as a few others who happened to be nearby. Offset apparently appreciated the view, as a video posted online caught him grinning from ear to ear as he watched Cardi kick off her Crocs and show off a few moves before climbing into his lap.

The vacation was well-earned. Cardi’s been quite busy lately, even without an album to promote. Most recently, she and Megan Thee Stallion teamed up to take on a football training camp with the LA Chargers for Cardi Tries, Cardi gave an insightful interview to David Letterman, and she’s been working on some “technical difficulties” with her new music before giving it a release date. Meanwhile, Offset has been gearing up to release some solo music of his own amid rumors of a potential Migos breakup.

Cardi B Provided Some Hilarious Commentary As She Watched An Unoccupied Yacht Sink

Cardi B has been living her best life as of late. She just released a new episode of Cardi Tries with Megan Thee Stallion and it features the “WAP” collaborators showing off their football skills with help from some Los Angeles Chargers players. Days after that episode was released, Cardi and Offset were spotted on vacation, and while the couple might have expected to enjoy a regular day at the beach, things took an unexpected turn as they watched a yacht sink underwater some hundred feet away from them.

The whole thing was caught on camera thanks to a video that Cardi provided and posted on her Twitter. In the video, which she captioned, “I can’t believe I’m actually watching a yacht sink,” Cardi is clearly taken aback by what she’s witnessing. “What the f***?!!? Oh my — it’s sinking!!! Y’all see this?!!?” Cardi says as she watches the yacht slowly sink underwater. “Oh my God, they can’t do nothing about it? “There ain’t no big boat that could save it?!?” After accepting that there was nothing that could be done to save the boat, Cardi gave her farewells to the yacht. “It’s gone! It’s gone!” she said. “Bye-Bye! Bye!!”
