Cardi B Responds to Madonna’s Comments Paving Way for Song “WAP”
Written by SOURCE on October 23, 2022
Madonna’s recent comment about paving the way for other women in music isn’t sitting right with one artist.
Cardi B took to Twitter to respond to Madonna, after the 64-year-old singer named Cardi in her Instagram Story while discussing her coffee table book, S.E.X. The once-controversial book was released 30 years ago this week.
“30 years ago I published a book called S.E.X. In addition to photos of me naked there were photos of Men kissing Men, Woman kissing Woman, and Me kissing everyone. I also wrote about my sexual fantasies and shared my point of view about sexuality in an ironic way,” she wrote on Saturday.
“I spent the next few years being interviewed by narrow-minded people who tried to shame me for empowering myself as a Woman,” she continued on IG. “I was called a whore, a witch, a heretic, and the devil.”
“Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked ass and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball,” Madonna added. “You’re welcome bitches,” she concluded, alongside a clown emoji.
That clown emoji and use of the word ‘bitch’ is what Cardi took offense to. She addressed Madonna’s comment on Twitter, writing, “I literally [paid] this woman homage so many times cause I grew up listening to her …she can make her point without putting clown emojis and getting slick out the mouth ..These icons really become disappointments once u make it in the industry that’s why I keep to myself.” Cardi also posted a screenshot of her sharing just how impactful Madonna’s music was for her.
Cardi then went on a rant about Madonna’s remarks, responding to fans who both agreed with her and disagreed. “I know exactly what she said and I understand but it’s about THE TONE …Calling me bitches and putting clown emojis ? The fuck!”
