Not everyone is happy that Cardi B won Best Rap Album at the 61st Grammy Awards.
As a result of backlash she's received from her Grammy win, Cardi B has quit Instagram.
The rapper was up for five awards at this year's Grammys, and walked away with Best Rap Album for 'Invasion of Privacy.' Following the show however, the 'Money' rapper posted a video to social media saying that the backlash she is receiving is unwarranted.
The rapper slams those who have been negative towards her following her win. She said, "I been taking a lot of sh*t today. I’m seeing a lot of bullsh*t today and I saw a lot of sh*t last night. And I’m sick of this sh*t. I worked hard for my motherf**king album."
She went on to say, "I remember last year when I didn’t win for 'Bodak Yellow,' everybody was like, 'Cardi got snubbed, Cardi got snubbed.' Now this year’s a f**king problem?"
You can see the video below, which was uploaded by a fan account.

This isn't the only Cardi B controversy to follow after the Grammy Awards. As you saw in the above video, Cardi mentions at the beginning that she doesn't believe in "putting people down, to uplift somebody else." She's referencing BET (Black Entertainment Awards) tweeting what appeared to be a diss at Nicki Minaj. In the tweet, which has since been deleted, BET praises Cardi B's Grammy win while saying "Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront."

As a consequence of the awards' actions, Minaj has pulled out of performing. The awards don't take place until June.
