The attention that celebrities get from fans and haters alike can be quite overwhelming. In common for A-list celebs to have millions of followers on their social media accounts. While their online profiles can be a tool to shoot their stardom further into the galaxy, some celebrities choose to leave it out of the equation. Well, at least temporarily.

Cardi B seemed to have been offended by comments rapper, Azealia Banks, made about her on the radio show The Breakfast Club, on May 11, 2018, saying that she was a “Caricature of a black woman that black women themselves would never be able to get away with.” The “Bodak Yellow Rapper” responded with “I’m from the hood. I speak how I speak; I am how I am.” She deleted her Instagram right after that but got back on the ‘gram on May 20th so she can promote her “Be Careful” single.
Ariel Winters Wanted Good Vibes Only
