Bhad Bhabie and Ebro get into it on Twitter.

It seems as if every single week, Bhad Bhabie has made another enemy. The one thing about the "Hi Bich" rapper is that she's never one to back down from confrontation or address any issues. Last week was eventful to her as she got into a scrap with Instagram personality WoahhVicky, got nominated for Top Female Rap Act at the Billboard Music Awards and then, sparked more controversy after siding with Cardi B over Nicki Minaj. To cap off the week, she had a little back and forth with Hot97's Ebro.

Ebro isn't someone who holds his tongue, especially when it comes to hip hop. The radio personality took to Twitter to share his criticism of Bhad Bhabie and pretty much explain why it's difficult for him to ever really listen or support her music. 

"See... the Bhad Bhabie thing to me is about white kids wanting mimic the worst aspects of Black culture for fun. And while I've tried to be open minded and accept that all cultures have been affected by Black Ghetto Street Culture," he said. "I can't EVER be ok with this shit cause Im barely accepting of ignorant ghetto shit... I know most poor Black folks are NOT "ghetto fools"... they are loving, hard working, emotionally damaged humans wanting to be accepted by society."

Bhad Bhabie immediately hit back on Twitter.

"Bich don’t act like u know where I’m from. If u can’t appreciate turning nothin into sumthin then u need to get a new fuckin job," she wrote.

This isn't the first time she's addressed accusations of cultural appropriation. A few months a go, she did an interview with The FADER.

"I look at that cultural appropriation shit and I just ignore it because it’s ridiculous, it really is. You cannot act a color. Do not tell me I’m acting black because I’m not." She said at the time.
