While Cardi B was celebrating “Bodak Yellow” hitting the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, Azealia Banks took to Twitter to criticize Cardi’s success, calling the Bronx MC “a poor mans nicki” in her rant.
On Tuesday night, Cardi caught wind of Banks’ diss and took to social media to respond to her critics.
Cardi posted a video of the “212” rapper in a club dancing to “Bodak Yellow,” reciting the lyrics of the infectious chorus with vigor.
“One of the reasons Bodak Yellow went #1! Cuz even the HATERS love it!” Cardi captioned the video.
During Banks’ Twitter rant, she called out “Black industry men” for endorsing “Bodak Yellow,” but not giving the same support to fellow MCs Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj.
“I always thought she was funny, and when she started rapping, I was like what is she doing? Then I heard”Foreva” and I was like, Okay, this is really fucking good, she’s not playing,” Banks told XXL. “Then I heard a couple other songs and I was like, Oh shit, Cardi’s not playing! And now I’m a fan of Cardi B’s music and her personality.”
