Cardi B has returned to Twitter to defend her recent "Girls" collaboration with Rita Ora, Charli XCX and Bebe Rexha.
In a series of tweets, the rapper claimed that the song was not intended to "cause harm."
"I personally myself had experiences with other women, shit with a lot of women!" Cardi wrote. "I thought the song was a good song and I remember my experience."
She continued to explain that in the past, her lack of awareness has caused her to use terms considered offensive to the LGBTQ+ community. She apologized for any previous offence and said that once she learned what terms were offensive, she stopped using them.

Cardi's comments follow an apology issued by Ora, in which she said that the song "was written to represent my truth and is an accurate account of a very real and honest experience in my life."
Ora added, "I am sorry how I expressed myself in my song has hurt anyone."
