Cardi B is featured on Blackpink’s first full-length LP, titled ‘The Album’, on the fourth track called ‘Bet You Wanna’. ‘The Album’ just dropped worldwide and is now available to stream on all major platforms. But things aren’t all that smooth as the ‘WAP’ rapper is angry at Blackpink ‘stans’.

Twitter is confused over what started this controversy but, according to Blackpink ‘stan’ accounts, Cardi B’s unavailability to promote the single and the album is what caused the online uproar. In her first tweet on the topic, Cardi addressed her fans and said, “BARDIGANG what these lil kids talkin about cause I won’t do my job,” and then, talking about her love for Blackpink but the nasty behavior of their fans, she continued, “I really love the girls but I won’t let you lil kids play with me.I already got payed to do what I had to and I won’t do nomore.”

She then made the Blackpink ‘stans’ even more angry after she tweeted, “Anyways stream ‘WAP'”. In her next tweet, when rhetorically asked by a Blackpink ‘stan’ if she’s mental, Cardi replied saying, “I’m not mental I’m just not going to let lil kids disrespect me.Yall make relationships with artist be very weird cause of the weird hate ya be throwing and ya was doing that b4 the song came out .I already got pay and I don’t ask to be on songs I GET ASKED!”

In her final tweet regarding Blackpink stans, yet, Cardi, replying to a fan who called her ‘the worst,’ said, “Naaaa y’all the worst ya wanna come disrespecting on my shit and playing me I don’t play that.I go hard on promoting everything I’m on even if is not mine but I won’t when ya keep playing with me like I’m a kid.”

Blackpink fans were quick to give their opinions about the controversy. One fan, talking about Cardi’s tweetes, wrote, “if cardi b really isn’t hacked- she basically admitted to only collab with blackpink for the money & the clout. the pinks were so excited for the collab with cardi only for those tweets to be posted. they’ve waited 4 years for this day. 🙁 i hope she’s hacked cuz if not…” while another fan, hoping the K-pop girl group doesn’t read Cardi’s tweets, said, “I really hope the pinks don’t see those tweets, they were so happy to collab with her. :(”

Another fan accused Cardi of chasing clout and tweeted, “Cardi b**ch used Blackpink for f***ing clout she tweeted this after 10 mins of the album release.” A different fan, also attacking Cardi, wrote, “Cardi just admitted she only collaborated with blackpink for the money… lowkey i feel bad for them.”

Now, Cardi has deleted all the above tweets and, in a series of new tweets, promoted ‘The Album’ and her single ‘Bet You Wanna’. Retracting her earlier tweets, Cardi wrote, “Stream ‘THE ALBUM’ by BLACKPINK! I’m featuring on ‘BET YOU WANNA’. Stream all night and day imma be checking ya page. MUUUUAAAH!”

She then, retweeting a tweet by XXL Magazine about the single, said, “Thanks XXL …hope ya like it”. Then she revealed that her earlier tweets were just a ploy to get people talking about the new single: “Got them listening muahahahah….now that I got your attention STREAM ‘BET YOU WANNA’!!!!! Now now now!!!!!!!!”

Blackpink’s ‘The Album’ is streaming worldwide now.
