American rapper and songwriter Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus, known professionally as Cardi B has deleted her Twitter account following the backlash for not attending the Grammys 2022.
The mum of two on Sunday, April 3, 2022, ripped fans who were taking aim at her and her kids because she didn’t attend the event.
“I’m deleting my Twitter On God I hate this f**kin dumbass fan base,” she tweeted before pulling down her Twitter account.
“You got the slow dumbasses dragging my kids all cause y’all [thought] I was going to the Grammys and I didn’t the f**k?”
Cardi not only deleted her Twitter account but she appeared on Instagram Live to defend her absence.
She received several Twitter messages from “fans talking s–t” about her choice to skip the event, including some that took aim at her two kids with her husband Offset.
“Why would I go to the awards for?” she asked in an eight-minute video addressing the hateful comments. “Do I have any new music? Why would I show up with one nomination?”
Cardi whose song “Up” was nominated for Best Rap Performance but lost to Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s “Family Ties” before the Grammys telecast went on to blast those who dragged her family into the drama, saying, “That shit really piss the f**k out of me.”
Cardi attended her very first Grammy Awards in 2019 when she made history as the first female solo winner to take home the trophy for Best Rap Album.
The following year, she and Offset, who tied the knot in 2017, made a glamorous albeit fashionably late appearance to the awards ceremony.
The Invasion of Privacy artist was also at last year’s Grammys, performing her hit song “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion.
Cardi B and her hubby Offset have two children together.
They welcomed their first child together, Kulture, in 2018.
The couple secretly got married in September 2017.
The private ceremony took place in the couple’s bedroom in Atlanta.
