AceShowbiz - Cardi B's numerous achievements don't make people stop shaming her. The "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker was involved in a back-and-forth with a content creator named Raymonte who called the raptress "very, very ghetto" in a TikTok video.
On Wednesday, April 3, the Grammy winner wrote on X, "It's crazy because when I became famous people said I'm ghetto, talked s**t about my accent, call[ed] me dumb because the way I speak, say I've] got no couth." She added that people would "talk about my teeth , my braids, my two buns… and to this day no matter what I accomplished I still get called a stripper all because I'm from the ghetto."
"People misinterpret me because apparently I'm LOUD AND GHETTO TILL THIS DAY [they] call me a hood rat and all… When I sat down with Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden they called me a ghetto stripper. Why is it that y'all gotta use me to make y'all comparisons cause y'all only see the glory but not when I get drag 24/7? LEAVE ME TF ALONE AND OUT OF YALL BULLS**T," she said.
Raymonte caught wind of Cardi's tweet and insisted that he didn't attack Cardi, but saying that she's successful instead. To that, Cardi responded, "That's not what you said. You said nobody called me ghetto and now you moving the goal post… You know why I'm at where I'm at right now? Because I took all those no's and recognized what I had to CHANGE. I had to change the way I talk, the way I act and the way I respond and how I present myself… you ignoring all of that and playing the color card because you don't like me and it's f**ked up."
She continued, "You using all these other women… Sexyy Red is making bangers and on tour with Drake and I bet money she's gonna win female rapper of the year because she's grinding and working HARD and not letting people call her ghetto distract her from the top!! So miss me with that."
In another tweet, Cardi wrote, "Here's my advice to you Raymonte… IT TAKES TIME!!! Right now I get brand deals for over $5 million for a campaign… I got social media famous in 2014…my first brand deal from Fashion Nova was in 2016 and $200 a post. You could reach any height no matter how ghetto or where you come from. Just remember the key is to be patient and be humble. Blessings."
The feud started after the influencer refused to be called ghetto like Cardi in a TikTok video. "She's way ghettoer than me, she's way hooder, gangster, greasy [than] me," the TikToker said. "She was outside with the damn Bloods, and y'all don't say that this lady is ghetto. Y'all don't say that she isn't marketable."
"It feels like everyone can be ghetto and black besides ghetto and black people. And again, no shade to you, Cardi B, I'm just doing a comparison," he continued.
