Cardi Cardi Cardi. The rose that grew from concrete. The self proclaimed stripper hoe. Why’d it have to be you? They expected you to snap at some point, and boy did you give them exactly what they wanted all along. But New York Fashion Week? In your hometown, after watching your husband do his first runway for a major show? After the birth of your first child? All this success, but she still acted like this was an episode out of Love and Hip Hop. Tisk Tisk,
I’ve gotten a lot of flack for supporting Nicki and her latest album Queen, but this has less to do with Nicki, and more to do with the fact that women of colour need to stop allowing people to divide us and make us think we need to get on each others shoulders to stand taller. This is beyond music by the way. And before you say, “well white women have issues with each other, and create controversy so why’s it a huge deal when women of colour do it?” Here’s why: we’re marginalized people. As people of colour, we have historically had less opportunities, and faced greater disadvantages through time. So its a huge shame to see two very successful women, claw at each other, because of fictional beef. Yes, its fictional. Neither one of them have any history with the other, nobody’s family has been robbed or hurt by the other, and a lot of the stuff being thrown around always comes from a “reliable source” or comments on social media that are never validated. We need to change that name and start referring to them as what they really are: instigators.
For those of you saying “well Cardi was defending her child against Nicki’s comments“, please just stop. All the things Cardi was upset about, are all alleged, and that goes for Nicki as well. I’m positive that these women are being used as pawns by the media, to keep the blogs and all other outlets busy with material. And shame on all of you for entertaining this ruckus, following the death of Mac Miller (May God have mercy on his Soul) . The timeline was full of “I wish I could have lent an ear to him“, “gone too soon“, “protect our artists at all costs“, but people were so quick to change their focus for a catfight. Has anyone considered the mental and emotional toll this is taking on Cardi and Nicki? What happened at the Harper’s Bazaar party was not only humiliating for both of them, but also their families that depend on them. Miss me with the crocodile tears when artists lose their lives, when all we seem to do is push them to the limit every opportunity we get.
Carry yourselves with style and grace ladies. Ya’ll are queens in your own right.
