Cardi B's meteor rise in the music industry has not come without running across some problems. The female emcee is coming under fire for allegedly stealing another rapper's music. Her new single, "Bartier Cardi" featuring 21 Savage, is facing claims of plagiarism.
People have flooded social media to point out some striking similarities between her latest track and Canadian raptress Tommy Genesis' fiery track "Tommy". Many fans of Tommy say that the beats are markedly similar and that Cardi keeps dropping her own name throughout the song, just like what Tommy does in her song.
"The lack of creativity is shameless! Least we know who the real artist is #tommygenesis who is ultra feminist and very talented no to #BartierCardi just a fraud," an angry fan writes on Twitter. Another similarly tweets, "Wow so Cardi B stole someone else song to make 'Bartier Cardi'.. Cardi you need to have your own song."

However, some of Cardi fans have come to her defense, saying that most of male rappers' song sound the same. "No offense but you all can stop making it seem like Cardi jacked Tommy's song when most of the males songs actually sound the same and you all don't say s**t," a fan tweets.

Meanwhile, Cardi has yet to respond to the accusation.
This is not the first time Cardi has to face plagiarism accusations, as she has recently slammed for seemingly mimicking Nicki Minaj in G-Eazy's "No Limit (Remix)" music video. In the clip, Cardi can be seen twerking, rolling around in money naked and rhyming while wearing edgy outfits, all of which are what Nicki usually does in her music video.
In response to the numerous comments from fans who were convinced that Cardi plagiarized her mannerisms, Nicki tweeted, "I'm glad y'all peeped." Fans immediately replied to her tweet, claiming that they already noticed it from the start.
