The Invasion of Privacyrapper recently deleted her Instagram account after responding to her critics with an impassioned video. “I’m sick of this shit,” Cardi says in the now-deleted clip. “I worked hard for my mother fucking album.” Gaga, who met Cardi for the first time at Sunday’s award ceremony, defended her new friend on Twitter. She posted a photo of her meeting the rapper and wrote:
It is so hard to be a woman in this industry. What it takes, how hard we work through the disrespectful challenges, just to make art. I love you Cardi. You deserve your awards. Let’s celebrate her fight. Lift her up & honor her. She is brave. pic.twitter.com/lunY27vn3E
