Cardi B Sorry for ‘Real Housewives' of Civil Rights Parody

The sketch from comedian Rip Michaels' new series "Off the Rip" portrays pettiness between Coretta Scott King and Malcolm X's wife, Betty Shabazz

Cardi B has apologized to the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. for portraying the civil rights leader's wife, Coretta Scott King, in a comedy skit.

News outlets report the Bronx rapper was featured in "The Real Housewives of Civil Rights," a two-minute parody that surfaced Tuesday on TMZ. Tuesday was the 55th anniversary of the March on Washington and King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

The sketch from comedian Rip Michaels' new series "Off the Rip" portrays pettiness between Coretta Scott King and Malcolm X's wife, Betty Shabazz, and ends with a joke about Dr. King sleeping with "The Iggy Azalea of the Civil Rights Movement."

But Bernice King later thanked Cardi B on Twitter for reaching out and apologizing, and said she looked forward to talking with her.
