Cardi B Deactivates Instagram Account After Post-Grammys Drama

Cardi B had some harsh words for haters before quitting Instagram.

Using explicit language, Cardi struck back at those who said her “Invasion of Privacy” album wasn’t worthy of her Grammy Award. Cardi B said in a now-deleted video, “I work hard for my (expletive) album. I remember last year when I didn’t win for ‘Bodak Yellow’ and everybody was like, ‘Cardi got snubbed. Now this year’s a (expletive) problem?” Cardi B pointed out that she put in long hours recording her album while pregnant with her first child. 

At the beginning of her remarks on the Instagram video, Cardi B appeared to be referring to another controversy regarding rapper Nicki Minaj and the BET network. Minaj and Cardi B have long been rivals, and Cardi B said in her video, “It’s not my style for people to put other people down to uplift somebody else. That’s not my style and that’s not what I’m with. I don’t support that.”
