*After Azealia Banks ran Cardi B off of Instagram over the weekend, Stefflon Don tried to come to Cardi’s defense, only to be roasted by Banks as well.
All of this mess started on Friday (May 11) with Banks calling out Cardi as an “illiterate rat” and a “caricature of black women” during an interview on The Breakfast Club.
“Two years ago, the conversation surrounding black women’s culture was really reaching an all-time high,” Banks told the radio show’s hosts, referencing Beyonce’s 2016 album, Lemonade. “There was just this really, really, really intelligent conversation going on nationally and then everything just kind of changed and then it was like Cardi B.”
Banks continued, “I’m just talking about this caricature of a black woman that black women themselves would never be able to get away with. Like, if my spelling and grammar was that bad, I’d be canceled. If Nicki Minaj spelled like that, we would be ragging on her all day.”
Watch Banks’ Breakfast Club interview below:
Cardi B quickly responded to Banks’ incendiary comments via Instagram — in both a post of her own, and in the comments of another that featured video of the conversation in question.
“I’m from the hood. I speak how I speak I am how I am. I did not choose to be famous people choose me! People followed me on Instagram and the people gave me a platform to introduce my talent,” Cardi wrote. “I never asked to be a example or a role model I don’t want to change my ways because I’m famous that’s why I just mind my business. This is coming from a woman that bleached her skin but want to advocate. GOODBYE. Im not apologizing or kill myself because of who I am.”
Shortly after the posts, Cardi deleted her entire IG account. …But of course her clapback posts survived through screen grabs.

And the drama didn’t end there.
Shocked by Cardi’s decision to delete her Instagram account, Stefflon Don jumped in with a tweet declaring she would never allow Banks to get to her like that, and calling Banks “crazy.”
Banks then turned her ire toward Stefflon.

It’s not likely that the drama will end here, considering Banks has a new single and album to promote.
Until the next chapter…
