Cardi B is firing back at accusations made by Nicki Minaj that she rose to fame thanks to "sympathy and payola," saying she's had fans since her "Love & Hip Hop" days and worked hard to get where she is now.
Just two days after the "Queen" rapper went on her radio show and slammed Cardi, the "I Like It" rapper took action, posting a stern message clearly pointed at Minaj.

"Nobody can make you feel like you cheated yourself or you don’t deserve to be where you at when you KNOW YOU WORKED YOURSELF TO THE TOP," she wrote along with a video labeled 7/29/16.
"NO LABEL ,NO RADIO PLAY,FRESH OUT OF LOVE AND HIP HOP,ONLY 200K IN MY BANK ACCOUNT ,MY FIRST TOUR," Cardi posted.
Crediting her Bardigang for her success, her caption ends, "YOU BEEN HERE SINCE THE GET GO!"
As The Blast reported, Cardi has denied paying for airplay since Nicki first made the accusation on Queen Radio, telling us it's “absolutely false” that anyone got paid or gifts in exchange for airtime.
The beef between the two has gotten pretty meaty lately after their tension came to a head in an epic brawl during fashion week.
