Or has a great PR team. Doesn’t it sometimes feel like pieces like this one should be marked “sponsored”?

Girl you knooooooooooooow Jezebel keeps “forgetting” this happened. At this point they just need to have a once a week daily worship session for Cardi B. Its getting to be a bit much.

Cardi B thinks that school shootings happen because popular kids bully socially awkward kids and she flaunts her gang affiliation (both straight from her Instagram). I enjoy her music and agree that there’s something liberating as a woman to listen to Bodak Yellow, but I don’t get the idolatry.

RE: Missy getting royalties for blatant steez theft —- nah, and Lil Kim ain’t collected a penny from Nicki Minaj over the years, either. Apparently what’s painfully obvious style-theft to some of us is “respectful homage to the influence of an icon!!!” to those desperately grasping for every shameless shortcut to…

“We’re white feminists, and fuck all forms of homophobia, transphobia, other bigotry, and rape culture apologia, unless it’s Cardi B, because she’s our BFF.”

Gotta balance those humors though.
