Cardi B just recently made history as the first female rapper to hit the number 1 spot on the Billboard Top 100 since Lauryn Hill did it almost two decades ago.
In order to do it, Cardi B passed Nicki Minaj’s previous record, the number 2 spot for “Anaconda,” when “Bodak Yellow” surpassed Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” at catapulted Cardi B to the top.
But while Nicki Minaj herself has even reached out to Cardi B to congratulate her on the historic moment, not everyone is necessarily pleased about it.

Azealia Banks took to Instagram to drag Cardi B, saying first of all that the real songwriter behind “Bodak Yellow” was a friend of Cardi’s boyfriend and that Cardi B was successful because she was willing to “f*** for raps.”
“Everybody in the hood already said that you f*** for raps,” Banks said, adding, “Come on, you are the poor man’s Nicki Minaj at this point.”
Banks then blasted Cardi B, claiming that she had hoped to hear “something original” but grudgingly added, “Congrats on your Number 1.”
“It’s great that you made it,” she added. “I’m sure it inspires a lot of other bum b*****s.”
She ended by calling Cardi B a “f*** toy” and saying that she had better enjoy her moment while it lasted.
