Cardi B took to Instagram Stories to complain about the state of rap musicians and claimed that rappers were indulging in too much lean and weed.
The Grammy-winning artist added that she was what was missing in the club scene. Her last album “Invasion Of Privacy” was released in 2018.
“I know what ni**as is missing in the club…me! They missing me, they missing my music,” she said. “And now that I’m in the game and everything and I be seeing all these muthafu**as on Twitter like, ‘You need to have rap, you need to have bars, you need to have this…’ I want to make music to turn the fu*k up. ’Cause when I go to the club, that’s what ni**as wanna hear. Ni**as ain’t hearing no…I feel like we keep hearing the same song over and over and over again.”
Cardi B wasn’t finished there. She went on to say that rappers were indulging in too much lean and weed, which she claimed made their music too depressing.
“These rappers nowadays, all of them wanna die,” Cardi surmised. “They all wanna die. All these ni**as need to stop doing lean and smoking weed. You know, this the thing about these rappers, right? They get money and they start buying too much muthafu**in’ weed, and too much lean and they make that slow sh*t.”
“The club needs me,” she continued. “The strippers need me. The hoes need me. The muthafu**in’ get money ni**as need me.”

The ‘WAP” singer also posted on Twitter to further explain her stance and apologize for her verbiage.
“I just want a balance sorry if I worded things wrong. I just love music that drop hard and turn the club up like dreams & nightmare & First day out by tee grizzly. A perfect balance of rap and turn up.”
