They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But it seems rapper Hazel-E doesn’t feel that way.
Cardi B pulled out all the stops for daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus’ 3rd birthday this weekend.
The Atlanta-based performer shared all the glitz and glam of her daughter’s celebration on Instagram.
It included a huge ball complete with a dinner party, a massive bounce house, balloons and princesses appearing as boxed-up dolls. Kulture, whose father is Cardi B’s husband, rapper Offset, also had her pick of dresses. A wardrobe with plenty of princess outfits was there, as well as a petting zoo. Rounding out the night was a family horse-drawn carriage ride. Offset held his daughter close before Kulture rode into the party on a unicorn.
By Tuesday, Hazel-E appeared to catch wind of Cardi B’s party.
She posted several images of her daughter’s 1st birthday party on her Instagram Story. That lead fans to think she was taking aim at the “Up” performer, who is pregnant with her second child.
“The girls are fans,” she wrote in one post. In another, she said, “It’s the originality for me.” That caption accompanied a photo of her husband, De’Von Waller, and daughter Ava Dior in a horse-drawn carriage.
“Down to the Daddy Charming coming off the carriage,” she added. The party took place three weeks ago.
On Twitter, many questioned the Cincinnati native.
Hazel E really did the most. Like everybody had a princess themed party. Let’s do a thread. What was your princess themed party like?

Baby we met Hazel E in delusion but claiming Cardi copied a princess theme birthday party & having the gall to refer to herself as a rapper when saying she was the first to do it.... takes delusion to a few new levels. pic.twitter.com/OaKysZh9PG

Amid the criticism, Hazel-E added in her story that she “didn’t even say no names.”
“I was the first rapper to do it,” she added. She later stuck to her remarks.
“I said what I said. ... How everyone so bothered by the truth. And y’all say I’m (delusional),” she concluded. “But you know who ain’t??? Jesus Christ. Only one who I bow (to). I fear no man.”
Cardi B has yet to publicly react to Hazel-E’s remarks.
