Cardi B is going f the handle…and the grid.
The rapper has threatened to stop doing press and delete her social media accounts following an interview gone awry. While promoting Netflix’s new hip-hop competition series “Rhythm + Flow” on Thursday, she was interviewed by “Access Hollywood,” who asked her how she juggles motherhood with her career. Kulture’s mom accused the entertainment news outlet cutting up the interview for “clickbait” to make her look like a “deadbeat” mom.
“Five hours that I could be in the studio is five hours that I gotta spend with my kid because it’s like, ‘Yeah, it’s OK that your mom is gonna take care her,’” she told the interviewer. “Everybody could take care your kid. You got the money for somebody to take care your kid. But when you come back from that work and your kid really don’t wanna spend time with you, they wanna hug your mom more than you, or they calling your mom ‘Mommy,’ that’s expletive].”
Since folks are asking, here’s the video that has @iamcardib going f! @accessonline had the privilege interviewing her, and they chopped up her words, and used Kulture as a headline about calling someone else her mom. #PoorJournalism. They’ve since deleted the video. pic.twitter.com/fkOeGwv7Ke

The interview was published under the headline: “Cardi Admits Baby Kulture Calls Someone Else ‘Mommy’ Because She Works So Much.”
After seeing her words twisted, an upset Cardi took to social media to defend herself. “Don’t play with my child that’s on period,” she tweeted. “I took time out my day to do a interview about a show so for people to ask me a question about motherhood then try to chop it up make look like a deadbeat got me hot cause I bend my backwards for my child.”
While on Instagram Live, she also said she would spit at “Access Hollywood” if she ever saw them again. “Don’t use my motherfuckin’ kid for clickbait, bitch,” said Bardi before adding, “Suck my whole dick. Suck a dick. I hope your fucking mom catch AIDS, bitch.”

You can’t ‘catch’ AIDS. you CAN, conversely, contract HIV for which there are a wide array treatments that render the virus unable to write its code into new cells. So here we are, Cardi & HIV, both unable to write. pic.twitter.com/8JIoZKbw7s
