Azealia Banks has been very critical of Cardi B’s success and it looks as if they won’t be changing any time soon.
In a recent interview with The Black Media, she even compares Cardi to Iggy Azalea.
Billboard writes:
After sparring with Cardi B on social media last September, it appears that Azealia Banks isn’t finished taking swipes at the “Bodak Yellow” star. In an interview with TheBlackMedia, Banks is critical of Cardi’s passion and dedication as an MC.
“I’m very entertained by Cardi B and I really like ‘Bodak Yellow’ like it’s a really good song, but you are not that girl. It’s just the truth, it’s just the truth you know what I’m saying?” Banks explains. “I’m not trying to take anything from you, but you’re just, like, you know its like this female rap thing is like a lineage its a real fire that burns in a soul, you don’t have that fire, I’m very happy for your success and I love your come up and I love like seeing you smile and having a good time, but this women’s expression, just the fire of the black women’s expression, Cardi, you don’t have it and you won’t get it, because it’s not you.”
Banks continued to puncture Cardi’s legitimacy by later comparing her to Iggy Azalea. “We’ve seen the movie before, it’s called Iggy Azalea,” she said. “I know exactly what you guys do. You buy a No. 1. You buy a Grammy. It’s all being paid for. I’m not at all trying to take anything away from you. Sh*t, I’d f*cking love if someone paid for me to f*cking get an award. That’s great, but I’m that girl. Nicki Minaj is that girl. Remy Ma is that girl. Cardi B is not that girl.”

I wish Azealia would stop talking about other artists and focus on her own music.
She’s so bitter.
Damn I wonder what it’s like to have a longstanding flop career and only get publicity when talking about someone new and else’s successful career….never mind I’ll never relate cause I’m not a losing, bitter hater. Welp.
*someone’s new and successful
Cardi hasn’t even released her album yet. So it’s too early to call her a one hit wonder.
Exactly. Azealia needs to stop. If it wasn’t for her cursing everyone out on Twitter and burning bridges left and right, she would have blown up. She can sing and rap and her music was different.
Azealia could have been huge. But her attitude keeps getting in the way.
Girl…
Haters gonna hate.
