Cardi B recently found herself responding to a social media user who accused her of bleaching her skin during her pregnancy. The rapper has been attempting to embrace this special time in her life without the disruptions of online criticism but some folks just keep interrupting.
She was recently spotted at her best friend Star Brim’s birthday party, where she looked stylish in baggy jeans and a cute head wrap, proudly showcasing her growing baby bump. The two friends posed for a touching photo together, with Star affectionately placing her hands on Cardi’s belly. While many fans celebrated their friendship and shared positive comments, one user took it upon themselves to make a negative remark, questioning whether Cardi was bleaching her skin.
Never one to shy away from addressing misunderstandings, Cardi clapped back. She stated, “Bleaching while pregnant? Why must y’all be so dumb? Actually, no! I’m pregnant and slightly anemic. This baby is sucking all the energy out of my body, making me look pale, with sunken eyes and green veins. I can’t tan under the sun because I get hot super fast and feel dizzy… PLEASE STOP THINKING WITH YOUR A**HOLE!”

In addition to dealing with online scrutiny, Cardi shared her pregnancy news on Instagram on August 1. In a heartfelt post, she said, “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you. You have brought me more love, more life, and most of all, renewed my power! You’ve reminded me that I can have it all and that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”
She continued, “I love you so much and cannot wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do. It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns, and tests lying down, but you, your brother, and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
This joyful announcement came just one day after she filed for divorce from her husband Offset after seven years of marriage. A representative confirmed that the decision was amicable and had been a long time coming, rather than the result of a single incident.
Despite the personal challenges she faces, Cardi B remains focused on her career and is gearing up to release her highly anticipated second album, which she has confirmed will be coming out soon.
