Rapper, Nipsey Hussle, a Crenshaw rapper who’s a Crip, has some advice for Cardi B, who’s claimed to be a Blood. The feedback comes after a controversial word Cardi used in a recent Instagram caption that has since been deleted. Sporting an all blue fur coat, Cardi used the word “flue” – an offensive term to the Crips. In a recent interview with Real 92.3’s “Big Boy’s Neighborhood,” Nipsey offered up an explanation as to why this is a “delicate” issue.
“She’s form New York. There’s a different reality to gang bangin’ on the East Coast than there is in LA. This is a 30-40 year culture out here. People died in the ’80’s. Uncles and homies got killed behind this thing. So there’s a different level of sensitivity.”
He further elaborated..
“That’s how Bloods talk amongst themselves. Crips are gonna say certain words also. A Crip might say dead instead of saying red like a Blood might say flue instead of blue. But the disrespect happens when you go public and you not in the privacy of your hood or your homies. You never heard Game say flue, or crab, and you never heard Nip say dead or slob in a record.”
Nipsey then gave a suggestion as to how Cardi could possibly resolve the situation – since it’s resulted in gang related threats.
“She’s a woman. Everybody loving her wave, everybody loving her music. It’s just something she should probably correct, go public and say, Look this is how Bloods talk privately. We ain’t mean no disrespect.”
