After the rapper was filmed voicing her displeasure at her production team during a recent show, she took to X to defend her behavior following backlash.



Rapper Cardi B is defending herself from backlash that erupted following a dust-up she had with a production crew.

The viral incident happened onstage at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena while Cardi was headlining the BET Experience concert that took place in advance of the BET Awards.

The show was beset by technical problems that resulted in Cardi scolding the production team in a profanity-laden rant.

In the middle of her performance, Cardi stopped the show to address the production crew on-mic from the stage, saying:

"No offense but production: Y’all messing up my pyros, the fans is off, y’all messing up my music."
"F**k am I paying y’all p**sy n***as for? What am I paying y’all n***as for? Turn my f**king fan on, b**ch. Let's go!"

The crowd seemed to mostly feel like the rant was a funny bit of diva acting-up, but on X, aka Twitter, the response was not quite so favorable.

Several users tweeted at or about Cardi's outburst, including streamer and podcaster Milagro Gramz, who wrote that "no one should ever be disrespected like this in a workplace."

Suffice to say, Cardi did not appreciate the pushback. In a quote-tweet, she clapped back at the commentator, with whom she appears to have prior beef, explaining why the production mess-ups made her so angry.

Cardi tweeted:

"Girl shut up.. when you do a show you don’t pay after you pay before."
"I paid 350,000 up front the least they could do is get my pyro ready and turn the fans on because guess what??? At the end of the day that money is not returnable…"
"don’t half a*s my show because you comfortable when I definitely don’t half a*s when it comes to paying."

She then appeared to address the streamer's prior comments about Cardi, saying:

"don’t tell me how to talk to anybody when you the same ho talkin bout my kids and other deceased parents for no reason"

In response to Cardi's clapback, many fans took to X to express their solidarity with the rapper.

For her part, Milagro Gramz was unmoved by Cardi's clapback.

In a follow-up tweet, she doubled down on her take on Cardi's outburst, writing:

"I’m the internet’s villain and I’ll be that. I ain’t said sht wrong."
"People should be treated like humans & ima stand up against whoever about it."

Cardi has not responded further as of this writing.
