Cardi B deactivated her Instagram account on Saturday, May 12, after harsh words were exchanged between she and fellow rapper Azealia Banks. Banks recently interviewed with popular morning show "The Breakfast Club" and accused Cardi of lowering the bar for female rappers due to her poor spelling and grammar. But Cardi says that is who she is, and she never pretends to be anyone else. Whose side are you on?

In The Breakfast Club interview, Banks had this to say about Cardi's behavior:
“Two years ago, the conversation surrounding black women’s culture was really reaching an all-time high, and we were really like discussing our power amongst ourselves, and, you know, Beyoncé came out with 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 said. “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.”
