Madonna Ticks Off Cardi B with 'Sex' Boast... What Happened Next?
Madonna rubbed Cardi B the wrong way on Instagram and Cardi bit back... but it looks like the friends have already kissed and made up!
Madonna kicked things off late Saturday by marking the 30th anniversary of her controversial "Sex" book with a post that reminded fans the queer-positive tome led to her spending "the next few years being interviewed by narrow minded people who tried to shame me for empowering myself as a Woman. I was called a whore, a witch a heretic and the devil."
She went on to write, "Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked ass and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball."
The Queen of Pop closed with "You're welcome bitches......." and a clown emoji.
While many read the post as Madonna reclaiming her time, Cardi thought she was being disrespected.
“I literally [paid] this woman homage so many times cause I grew up listening to her… she can make her point without putting clown emojis and getting slick out the mouth,” Cardi B tweeted Sunday morning. “These icons really become disappointments once u make it in the industry that’s why I keep to myself.”
Cardi also posted a flashback of when she gushed about performing "Material Girl" in high school and sang Madonna's praises online.

Before long, Cardi's rants caught Madonna's eye and the two apparently had a phone call. Possibly, Madonna explained the "bitches" were the general public and the "clown" was the media/the interviewers she was complaining about.

Always have and always will.

And so ends the shortest Twitter beef in herstory.
