Cardi B Deleted Her Instagram After Beef with Azealia Banks
In the wake of a public roasting from fellow rapper Azealia Banks, Cardi B has deleted her Instagram account and made her Twitter private.
The beef started when Banks, no stranger to speaking her mind, flung some pretty savage insults in Cardi B’s direction during a radio interview, calling her everything from an “illiterate, untalented rat” to a “caricature of a black woman” who had “lowered the bar” for female rappers.
Asked to explain herself during an interview with U.S. radio show The Breakfast Club, Banks referenced Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade, which Banks claimed had marked an “all-time high” in the “conversation surrounding black women’s culture.” Banks then said that this “really, really intelligent conversation” had ended with the arrival of Cardi B.
Banks continued: “Like, if my spelling and grammar was that bad, I’d be cancelled. If Nicki Minaj spelled like that, we would be ragging on her all day.”
Though Cardi’s Instagram has now been deleted, fans took screengrabs of her clapback, which called Banks someone who “constantly finds joy in belittling black women (Beyonce, Rihanna, Skai Jackson, Remy Ma),” and someone who “can’t try and stand for them because it’s convenient!”

In another post, Cardi shamed Banks for bigging up Beyoncé after previously “talking shit and dragging” her across the press:
Are you sad that Cardi B’s no longer on IG? Do you think she’ll be back soon? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON
New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.
The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.
Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.
Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.
Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.
Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.
While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.
The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
