The Petty Spinner Won’t Let A Bronx Girl Thrive

Cardi B once again had to address the haters when it came to her career and her shmoney.

The “Bodak Yellow” spitter apparently was being hit with rumors that she paid radio stations to play her records. The heat probably came after Funk Flex‘s interview with Nicki Minaj on Hot 97 this week.

Nicki talked about payola – the act of bribing someone of influence to promote a product — and the music industry was her main target.

She said that record labels pay people to say certain things or to promote certain artists. Check out her spill below:

This definitely could’ve set Cardi off, especially since Nicki’s views got support from Flex — a man who’s come after Cardi in the past.

Clearly, Cardi was not here for any slander, direct or insinuated, especially from Flex.

The drama didn’t end here however. Flex decided to comment in Level Up Hip Hop’s comment section asserting that Cardi indeed took money for plays. “LETS BE CLEAR.. CARDI’S TEAM AND MANY OTHER ARTIST (in the beginning of career) PAY DJS TO PLAY RECORDS AND SAY THAT ‘THEY ARE HOT,'” he said in his comment. Check out his full statement below:

 

Ironically, though Flex says he never took a penny for plays, there are rumors that say otherwise. According to HipHopDX, folks like Nas and KRS-One have accused Flex of taking money for plays.

Flex has also dragged Cardi’s name before when he accused her of not writing her own raps.

Smh.

It seems like his vendetta against her isn’t stopping anytime soon.
