The ASCAP Award win comes as Cardi B continues to prepare for the release of her long-awaited sophomore album.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cardi B accepted the ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award during a private ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday. In doing so, she used her speech to call out critics of her songwriting talents, as caught by AllHipHop. In particular, she complained about people discrediting her for collaborating with other songwriters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI hate that. I hate the idea that if you don\u2019t write every line on your own that it makes what you have to say not real,\u201d she said. \u201cMusic is a collaboration it has always been. The biggest hits, the greatest records come from teamwork. They come from sharing experiences, energy, pain and joy. It\u2019s not about ego, it\u2019s about impact and I love my team.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

She continued: \u201cI write, I co-write, I rewrite. I speak to what\u2019s true to me. My pen, my mind, my feelings are in every verse and in every hook and I respect every writer who brings their magic to the table. This award is not just for me. It\u2019s for the culture, for every writer who help shape it and make us do something. Let\u2019s keep pushing our pens and the power that comes with it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Regardless of her speech, fans in the comments of ASCAP\u2019s Instagram post of the speech are still upset. \u201cCan you tell us one verse or song you wrote without any writers???\u201d one user asked. \u201cJust one that would justify this award of being the \u2018voice of the culture\u2019??\u201d Another wrote: \u201cI\u2019m genuinely curious how you guys came to this conclusion. The culture was ROBBED.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
