A day after the Invasion of Privacy artist took home her first GRAMMY Award for Best Rap Album, and slayed with a sexy performance of "Money," the 26-year-old rapper deactivated her Instagram account. The deactivation came shortly after she posted a fiery, profanity-filled video to her Instagram story where she called out critics who felt she didn't deserve to win the GRAMMY. "I've been taking a lot of s**t today, I'm seeing a lot of bulls**t today and I saw a lot of s**t last night and I'm sick of this s**t," a livid Cardi B explained in the video. "I worked hard for my motherf**king album." "I f**king worked my *ss off, locked myself in the studio for three months… didn’t go to sleep in my own bed, sometimes for four days straight, [while] pregnant," she continued, adding that many people at the time were telling her, "Your career is over," because of her pregnancy. Ultimately, after Invasion of Privacy dropped in April 2018 the album went on to be certified double platinum by the RIAA, while Cardi became the first female artist to have all the tracks from the album individually certified gold. . @IamCardib vents about seeing a lot of ‘bullsh*t’ on social media surrounding her #GRAMMYs win: “I f*cking worked my ass off, locked myself in the studio for 3 months, didn’t go to sleep in my own bed, sometimes for 4 days straight- while pregnant!” pic.twitter.com/IH6UslAh1s — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) February 11, 2019 On Sunday, she also became the first solo female artist to win Best Rap Album at the GRAMMYs. But, it goes to show that no matter how much you accomplish, you can't silence your critics. However, Cardi did feel a lot of love from many of her fellow artists, and she took to Twitter to thank those who supported her. "I listen to my album and I cry because I know the hell I went thruu doing the album is always a bittersweet memory," she wrote, alongside a screenshot of a complimentary comment from Chance the Rapper after her GRAMMY victory. "THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED ME AND LISTEN .Im thankful and grateful and again thank you to all the artist that gave me a feature."

The rapper apparently received the flowers as a gift, and they came with a card quoting lyrics from a song by Petty.

"I can't breathe. Oh, my goodness, child," she said as she fought back tears. "The nerves. I am so bad. Maybe I need to start smoking weed. I just want to say thank you to everybody that was involved." She continued, thanking her team before turning her attention to her 6-month-old daughter, Kulture.
