5 Rappers With Crimes Worse Than Cardi B

Some of y'all got real defensive when Cardi B revealed some of her old money-making schemes. Funny you all speak out against her, but I don't hear a peep about these other top charting artists.

The rap game is tough, a lot of people have a lot of stories. Some far worse than others. Most of the heat Cardi got for that incident was pretty excessive. Then I was so annoyed when people wanted to stretch it far enough to compare her to Bill Cosby. No, not even close. Don't you dare put his victim's in the same boat as these men who were only robbed?

If you ever actually listen to rap, and NOT JUST CARDI'S MUSIC THAT PLAYS ON THE RADIO then you probably weren't too bothered by the issue when it hit the news last week. Maybe even laughed at a meme or two.

It's funny because I can find you 30 songs in like two minutes that depict killing and robbing and assault on worse levels than Cardi ever reached. A lot of this heat for Cardi came from those people who only listen to rap music that is appropriate enough to play on the radio but don't ever pay attention to the other side of the rap industry.

Let's be clear here that all you people comparing Cardi's newest controversy to Bill Cosby are WAY out of whack. Cardi never raped these men, never even had intentions of sleeping with these men. She saw an opportunity and she took it.

Criminal as it was, she never raped or sexually assaulted anyone. So get out of here with that Bill Cosby comparison nonsense. Here are other rappers people refuse to recognize for their crimes that are way worse than Cardi.

1. Kodak Black

Armed robbery, kidnapping, child neglect, sexual assault...need I go on?

2. Xxxtentacion

No RIP here for this piece of work. Not only was his music trash, so was he. With multiple felony charges, some of the most notable are assault against his girlfriend, tampering with evidence, and witness harassment..

3. Gucci Mane

Charged with aggravated assault with deadly weapon and drug charges and a few other crimes he spent quite some time behind bars.

4. R. Kelly

Sexual assault and child pornography. Disgusting human being.

5. T.I.

Sent to federal prison for weapons charges.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
