Cardi B may have been ranting on her Instagram live recently, but it had nothing to do with a group of 10-year-old rappers who took aim at her in a diss track.
She has no beef with the 10-year-olds, OK?
Cardi seemed to send Twitter into meltdown when a video surfaced online of her ranting about ‘motherf**ing white boys’ coming at her, but turns out that was just a short snippet of a much lengthier rant about her Grammy win.
She’s heard saying: ‘I’m not going to let motherf**king little white boys come at me all motherf**king day long… shut the f**k up.’
‘Stay in your motherf**king place. Go drink your f**king milk, bitch.’
First of all I was talking about a fan base that was coming for me when it comes to album and Grammies and people chopped my video to make it seem like I was talkin about them kids .Second why don’t ya go bitch to the parents that got lil kids talking shit about others? https://t.co/T0m2SfIqIV pic.twitter.com/2IKq0lAgg9

Putting two and two together, some people thought Cardi was getting irate about a young rap group, made up of four boys, aged 10, called ZN8tion.
The brothers, who go by the names of Hollywood, Slim Z, Bonez McKoy and Mr. Great, dropped a diss track online taking aim at ‘washed up’ Cardi, with one line saying: ‘I don’t know what’s faker, your life or your butt.’
The reaction to the track led to the boys getting an interview in PageSix, where they said they targeted Cardi to ‘give her a taste of her own medicine’.
While Cardi doesn’t seem to have a problem with putting the boys in their place, agreeing with fans who suggested so on Twitter, she won’t have people thinking her expletive-filled rant was directed at ZN8tion.
Cardi shared the full clip of her savage rant to Twitter and explained she was defending her album Invasion of Privacy’s Grammy win.
It had beaten Travis Scott’s album Astroworld to scoop the gong and Cardi became the first female solo artist to win Best Rap Album at the awards.
She’s still having to defend her win, though, and that’s what her Instagram rant was actually about.
Cardi tweeted: ‘First of all I was talking about a fan base that was coming for me when it comes to album and Grammies and people chopped my video to make it seem like I was talkin about them kids.
‘Second why don’t ya go bitch to the parents that got lil kids talking s**t about others?’
Cardi, who was pregnant when working on her album, is heard saying in the video: ‘For me to put out an album and everybody say you used your pregnancy for this… no it’s not an excuse… it was just an extra.
‘Every artist busts their ass when they’re trying to put out an album.’
That bit, it seems, had been conveniently snipped out before. Makes sense, right?
