• Cardi B has deleted her Instagram, aka the only pure and good thing about the internet, following her Grammy Award win on Sunday night.
  • The move comes after BET tried to pit Cardi against Nicki Minaj, causing a lot of blowback against Cardi.
  • Cardi then went on a pretty epic and justified rant before deleting her account, explaining that she's been "taking a lot of sh*t."

Everyone's Instagram feed just got a little more basic, because Cardi B deleted her account. Say it with me: NoOOOOoOOOOOOOoooooOOo.

The decision comes after major drama between Cardi, Nicki Minaj, and BET, which you can read more about over here. But the short version? BET shaded Nicki Minaj when Cardi B won the Grammy award for Best Rap Album, writing "Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lace front"—which caused (a) Nicki to go off, and (b) everyone to come for Cardi.

Before deleting her account, Cardi addressed the drama in a pretty epic and very justified rant:

"It’s not my style for people to put other people down to uplift somebody else," she said. "That’s not my style and that’s not what I’m with. I don’t support that. However, I’ve 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 work hard for my motherf*cking album."

She also posted this defensive message—seemingly referencing a tweet Ariana Grande wrote about Mac Miller sleeping on the couch in his studio:

It's unclear if/when Cardi is coming back to Instagram, but meanwhile Nicki Minaj has dropped out of the BET Awards, so yeah! Things are a mess!
