Cardi B has been on the defensive against people claiming she doesn't deserve a Grammy since her project was named Best Rap Album at the 61st Grammy Awards.

This coverage continued when the rapper decided to explain on Twitter the effort she put into making Invasion of Privacy.

This is not the first time Cardi has spoken about this process. Almost immediately after Cardi won her Grammy, people started to whisper that her album was not as good as the other projects in the category. Critics even questioned how much effort the rapper really put into making the project because she's been open about having ghostwriters. By the next day, these murmurs grew into a full-on scream leading Cardi to explain her work ethic.

"I'm seeing a lot of shit today and I saw a lot of bullshit last night... I work hard for my motherfuckin' album. I remember last year when I didn't win for 'Bodak Yellow' and everyone was like 'Cardi got snubbed...' Now it's a motherfuckin problem?!," Cardi said in a now-deleted Instagram video following the ceremony in February. "I locked myself in the studio for 3 months, my n***a. Didn't go to sleep in my bed sometimes for four days, pregnant... while everybody was harassing me like 'You can't do it...'"

She then posted a screenshot of Chance the Rapper congratulating her on her win. In the caption, she goes into detail about the recording sessions leading up to Invasion of Privacy.

"Slept in the studio on leather sofas for 3 months straight , migraines , in Atlanta in Miami away from my family," she wrote. "on top of that I was [depressed] cause everybody was suspecting I was pregnant and I constantly kept reading cardi you 'STUPID' 'YOU RUINED YOUR CAREER' 'WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A BABY AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR CAREER.' My album went #1 and spend 21 weeks straight on billboard top ten ! Every song is gold or platinum or higher. I listen to my album and I cry because I know the hell I went thru doing the album is always a bittersweet memory. THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED ME AND LISTEN."
