Cardi B has found her name in the middle of controversy from a TikTok creator by the name of Raymonte who brought her name up when trying to prove a point. This started when he expressed his disdain for not receiving the acclades and sponsorshups that other creators and celebrities who are “ghetto” receive and used Cardi’s name as reference.
This also came after the outlet, Essence had did a story on him and his recent birthday trip, but he felt that it didn’t highlight him in the way that he wanted it to, nor did it open a way for him to receive great opportunities.
“As a Black person, you guys say that I’m ghetto, but Cardi B, who doesn’t look like a visible Black woman to me. She’s way ghettoer than me, she’s way hooder, gangster, greasy [than] me. She was outside with the damn Bloods, and y’all don’t say that this lady is ghetto. Y’all don’t say that she isn’t marketable,” Raymonte began. “It feels like everyone can be ghetto and Black besides ghetto and Black people. And again, no shade to you, Cardi B, I’m just doing a comparison.”
This honestly has me weak with the Cardi B comparison because people been bashing Cardi B years ago 😠always calling her ghetto … just say you don’t like Cardi and go stop saying her name . pic.twitter.com/s5peySEcWi

Cardi wasn’t hear for it and she replied back saying:
“It’s crazy because when I became famous people said I’m ghetto, talked shit about my accent, call me dumb because the way I speak, say I got no couth, talk about my teeth , my braids, my two buns… and to this day no matter what I accomplished I still get called a stripper all because I’m from the ghetto,” she wrote.
She continued, “People misinterpret me because apparently I’m LOUD AND GHETTO TILL THIS DAY [they] call me a hood rat and all… When I sat down with Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden they called me a ghetto stripper. Why is it that y’all gotta use me to make y’all comparisons cause y’all only see the glory but not when I get drag 24/7? LEAVE ME TF ALONE AND OUT OF YALL BULLS–T.”

The two ended off on a better note when he further explained his view point saying:
All I was trying to say is that her being ghetto or getting called ghetto doesn’t hinder her career. Essence wrote an article and asked why was my viral birthday trip not sponsored by any brands and yall said it was because I’m “ Ghetto “ and not “ marketable “ so I’m giving an…
