We all are aware now that Azealia Banks is not a Cardi B fan….at all! Azealia has been talking trash over the past few weeks about the “Bodak Yellow” star and is back at doing what she does best in another interview where she criticizes and compares Cardi to rapper Iggy Azalea. Is this your typical female rapper beef that should be expected or just unfounded hate? During this brand new interview with The Black Media, Azealia made it clear that Cardi B is not THAT girl! Banks said:
Don’t get me wrong I’m very entertained by Cardi B, and I really like “Bodak Yellow” like it’s a really good song, but you are not that girl. It’s just the truth, it’s just the truth you know what I’m saying? I’m not trying to take anything from you, but you’re just like, you know its like this female rap thing is like a linage its a real fire that burns in a soul, you don’t have that fire, I’m very happy for your success and I love your come up and I love like seeing you smile and having a good time, but this women’s expression […] just the fire of the black women’s expression, Cardi, you don’t have it, and you won’t get it, because it’s not you.
Ouch!!! Then Azealia digs the knife in even more by comparing Cardi to Iggy Azalea and did not intend for it to be meant as a compliment. She said:
We’ve seen the movie before, it’s called Iggy Azalea, […] I know exactly what you guys do. You buy a No. 1. You buy a Grammy. It’s all being paid for. I’m not at all trying to take anything away from you…that’s great, but I’m that girl. Nicki Minaj is that girl. Remy Ma is that girl. Cardi B is not that girl.
