Twitter drama factory X (or Twitter) has produced yet another hotline beef to make headlines this time involving Cardi B’s outspoken sister, Hennessy Carolina, and rapper JT of City Girls. What began as a tweet filled with shades quickly escalated to a cultural discourse about colorism, Blackness as an antonym, and whether JT is currently loading a diss song.
Hennessy Comes Out Swinging With Talk of Gremlins
It began when Hennessy Carolina released a tweet that outright went at JT, filled with insult and casual expose:
“Gremlin looking bitch dying for attention.. that’s why I curved your boyfriend 7-8 times and you know it LMFAOOOOOOOOOO”
The tweet immediately went viral as timelines were filled by reactions of all kinds from laughing to disgusted.
Twitter Detectives Say it to the Colorism
But the responses weren’t just jokes. Many social media users accused Hennessy of perpetuating colorist rhetoric against JT, pointing out that this wasn’t the first time accusations of anti-Blackness had been leveled at Cardi B and her family.
One user commented:
“This is why black women that defend yall disgust me at a high level.”
Another Tweeted:
“I want yall to notice these two non black Hispanic women always resort to calling JT something related to an animal or creature. They’re colorist and if it was anyone else the black activist would’ve been said something.”
And one scathing take laid it all bare:
“Mind you I’m SICK of y’all non AFRICAN AMERICAN asses coming for JT darkskin features. Let’s call it what it is. Cardi B & her sister are anti-black women and colorist.”
JT Loads the Clip and Fires Back
Of course, JT would never let Hennessy have the upper hand. She quickly came back with a savage clapback that brought in Cardi B into the mix:
“How would I know that? I don’t know y’all ran through ass hoes from NO WHERE but getting yall ass whooped! Your sister literally got dogged out for YEARS in front of MILLIONS low self esteem having ass hoe & if I look like a gremlin TF you think of the face sister bought! Hoe go sit down & go get your sister ready for Friday! PUSSY!”
Her reaction left fans speechless, deconstructing each word as if it were a verse from a diss record.
Fans Divide Between “Team JT” and “Girl, Shut Up”
After JT’s scorched-earth reply, social media ran amok. Some were amused, others unimpressed:
One of the individuals dismissed the commotion, tweeting:
“Don’t care for what’s happening just knowing she dropping Friday.”
Another arrived in full drag mode:
“It’s gone flop no matter???????? they made your begging ass dust yesturday & you tried to revive it by putting a pone conversation???? you suck! Music suck, career suck, fashion suck, numbers suck, attitude suck ALL OF YOU suck btch.”
Others only wondered what the commotion was about:
“What happening Friday? A diss track that will chart on twitter?”
From Shade to Social Commentary
While it is all too simple to write this off as just another celebrity spat, this conversation about colourism and Blackness is unignorable. People are calling out big-name stars such as Cardi B and Hennessy Carolina to remind everyone that insults against Black women about how they look have a long and discriminatory history. In the meantime, JT is seemingly leveraging the beef to hype up coverage of her next drop, a new song or diss song aimed at her new nemesis. Either or, the internet will be monitoring and tweeting about it.
