Cardi B is firing back at Jermaine Dupri after the record producer slammed today’s female hip hop stars as “strippers rapping.”
During an appearance on PEOPLE Now, Dupri, 46, shared his opinion on women in the industry, explaining Da Brat paved the way for them to “sell a lot of records.”
When asked how he feels about Cardi, Nicki Minaj and rising star Meghan Thee Stallion, Dupri didn’t appear to be impressed.
“I can’t really say. I feel they’re all rapping about the same thing. I don’t think they’re showing us who’s the best rapper. For me, it’s like strippers rapping and as far as rap goes I’m not getting who’s the best.”
Cardi B responded to the criticism that women only talk about their vaginas in wake of JD’s comments. She kicked things off saying she only talks about hers because it’s her best friend before jumping into the matter at hand. “It seems like that’s what people want to hear. I ain’t even gonna front because let me tell you something. When I did ‘Be Careful,’ people was talking mad shit in the beginning, like, ‘what the fuck is. This is not what I expected,’ she said. “If that’s what people isn’t trying to hear, then it’s like, alright, I’mma start rapping about my pussy again.”
Cardi then went onto defend the female rappers out right now who are really doing their thing. She shared another video where she gave a shout out to Tierra Whack, Kamaiyah, Chika, and Rapsody for their efforts.
