Cardi B Defends Her Grammy Win After Travis Scott Fans Question It

Cardi B deserves all the awards...PERIOD!

The "Press" rapper shouldn't have to explain why she won a Grammy for Best Rap Album at this year's award show because her music, which is still charting, speaks for itself. However, Cardi took to Twitter on Wednesday (August 28) to breakdown all that went into the creation of the triple-platinum project, Invasion of Privacy, to silence critics once and for all.

"On my album I showed different sides of me.From my intro talking about my [past].To living my best life inspiring people.Relationship songs while I was going thru my own relationship drama to shaking a** like Bodak & that A** .Every song went platinum," the 26-year-old rapper began. "I did it all while I was pregnant.Throwing up, drowsy,terrible colds and in a rush to finish it so I can start doing music videos before I started showing."

Cardi went on to explain that she spent "24 hours for months sleeping on a couch" in a studio while pregnant and depressed, not even concerned about the accolades, especially not Grammys, that could possibly come from the project. "All I [could] think about was ...everybody is disappointed in me,am I still going to have a career after this baby ? Is this album going to make me or break me ? I need to finish before I start showing."

She added, that all of that stress was heightened because she had "just separated from my long time manager.I had to get my husband to talk to my label cause I never had a relationship with them so we all came together to relocate me to Atlanta and Miami to finish my album before my stomach start showing. When i kept seeing the certifications of the songs going gold or platinum I was so excited cause my husband was out here asking everybody for a feature on my behalf."

"So the ones that said yes thank you from the bottom of my heart cause TRUST ME ALOT OF ARTIST SAID NO! OR CHARGING 6 figures for a feature," Cardi continued. "So when I won a Grammy for it I didn’t have no words to say but when I went home I started reminiscing on what I went thru during that period I was like YEA B&TCH YOU DESERVE THIS SH*T ! [and] until this day my sh*t still charting."

"When I won Nipsey [Hussle] said on a comment to me WHEN IS YOUR TIME IS YOUR TIME! Now when I speak to upcoming artist or people who ask me for advice I tell them the same thing ! WHEN IS YOUR TIME IS YOUR TIME and when it comes don’t let nobody take that special moment away from you," Cardi concluded.

While it's not known for sure why Cardi decided to break down what went into her album months after her big Grammy win, fans have speculated that it's because of Travis Scott's recently released Netflix documentary, Look Mom I Can Fly, shows the work he put into the creation of ASTROWORLD. As fans know, the project was also nominated for Best Rap Album. However, it lost due to Cardi's Invasion of Privacy. In the documentary, Travis talks about being disappointed in not getting the win, which sparked fans to question why/how Cardi won over the Houston rapper.
