In a now-deleted rant on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces, Cardi B issued a warning to YouTuber Armon Wiggins, advising him to stop disrespecting her.
Wiggins, who boasts over 200,000 subscribers on his channel, focuses on drama within the women’s hip-hop industry. Cardi’s outburst was prompted by Wiggins labeling her as ‘fake’ and ‘phony’ for publicly endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as a presidential hopeful.
This was the final straw for Cardi, who felt that Wiggins had consistently provoked her on social media, despite previous private conversations addressing her concerns with his coverage.
“I’m not gonna keep letting somebody think that they can disrespect me, they can bully me and they can keep trying me,” Cardi B said. “Especially when I have conversations with them, when I have conversations with them as an adult. ‘Cause if you don’t respect me being a f***ing adult, that means I gotta motherf***ing treat you how I motherf***ing treat people in the motherf***ing streets. And that is a motherf***ing fact.”
“You not gonna keep f***ing playing with me,” Cardi B continued. “And that s**t is coming from me. Not nobody else but from f***ing me. And I’m letting you know. And I’m not doing no f***ing me Twitter s**t. I’m not arguing with nobody. I’m not piping nobody up. Stop f***ing me playing with me! Leave me the f**k alone! ‘Cause I promise you, on my kids, every time you go out, people tell me where you at. At that time too! But I don’t be giving a f###. Don’t let me get there! ‘Cause you keep f***ing me playing with me … Stop f***ing playing with me! ‘Cause I be sparing n****s. Not sparing n****s on the argument s**t, sparing n****s in real life.” She also referenced her gang ties, telling Wiggins to “stop playing with the Brim.”
Armon Wiggins apologized to Cardi B shortly after in a post to X. “I don’t want no problems y’all got it,” Wiggins said. “We gone get it without being attached to a controversial headline.. as a MAN @iamcardib if you feel like I ever used derogatory words towards you I apologize.. I don’t wanna fight girl I’m off it.”
Cardi B’s support for Vice President Harris shouldn’t come as a surprise. In 2019, she openly backed Vermont senator Bernie Sanders in his run for the presidency, eventually switching her endorsement to Joe Biden once he secured the Democratic Party’s nomination for the 2020 election.
