“When you make a woman feel like she’s the baddest bitch in the room, to me, that’s female empowerment” - Cardi B says in Elle interview about the backlash she got after her latest video 'WAP'. One of the colleagues who didn't appreciate her song was CeeLo Green who first accused her of "salacious gesturing", but afterward apologized saying - "I'm an advocate of artistic freedom and expression as well as a fan of Nicki, Cardi and Megan... I would never disrespect them by any means. I acknowledge them all as powerful, beautiful and influential women… and professionals".

Acclaimed rapper CeeLo Green has spoken out against music created by Nicki Minaj and Cardi B who he suggested are crying out for attention at any cost. “We are adults. There should be a time and a place for adult content. As adults and artists, we should at least attempt to be each other’s accountability partners in some regard. The stereotypes that are celebrated and perpetuated, ultimately make the perception a reality. It is disenfranchising and it has caused a great deal of problems” - he told Far Out Magazine. “Attention is also a drug and competition is around” he adds - “Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, they are all more or less doing similar salacious gesturing to kinda get into position. I get it, the independent woman and being in control, the divine femininity and sexual expression. I get it all but it comes at what cost?”.

Women in hip-hop have been pitted against each other since 1980s, and even as recently as 2018 Cardi B threw a shoe at Nicki Minaj during a red carpet confrontation. Just two years later, however, the mood has changed and this kind of spat is rare and feels undignified, Guardian writes in an article about a change of stance in lady's hip-hop. Now displays of friendship and support, along with in-jokes on social media timelines are much more common. Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Doja Cat, Stefflon Don, and Ms Banks and tens of other female rappers are breaking through by embracing sisterhood and shaking off the prejudices of the past...

Cardi B carried on for only 50 minutes last summer at Target Center. The over-the-top hip-hop hitmaker might have spent more time doing her hair and makeup. ZZ Top exited the Minnesota State Fair grandstand after just 63 minutes. Does their Rock Hall of Fame career still have legs after 50 years of touring? Minneapolis music hero Alexander O’Neal performed for a mere 45 minutes at the Dakota last month. How long should a concert headline set last?
