Cardi B recently clapped back at a detractor who asked if she was bleaching her Belcalis baaawdy amid her pregnancy. 

“Why must y’all be so dumb?” asked the rapper who’s expecting her third child with her estranged husband, Offset.

On Wednesday, the “Enough” rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to user @BlairNMZ who commented under a pic of Cardi and her best friend Star Brim saying;

“Has Cardi been bleaching her skin?”

“Bleaching while pregnant? Why must y’all be so dumb?” Cardi clapped back. “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!”

The pic in question was from Star Brim’s recent birthday party where Cardi wore baggy jeans and had her bump on full display.

 

Several followers have since jumped to Cardi’s defense and they’re urging people to let her experience her pregnancy in peace.

Fans Have Been Waiting For A New Album Since The Release Of Cardi’s Debut Project

Cardi B’s critically acclaimed debut album, Invasion of Privacy, launched her career in 2018 and secured her place in history with several major achievements. At the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, she won Best Rap Album, making her the first solo female rapper to earn the honor. The album featured commercially successful hits such as “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It,” and “Be Careful,” and it became the first studio album to have every track certified RIAA Platinum or higher, according to Revolt.

Fans have been waiting for Cardi to release her next masterpiece. In a June Rolling Stone cover story, the 31-year-old artist opened up about the delay of her highly anticipated sophomore album. She shared that she has been putting the final touches on the project in recording studios across Los Angeles, Miami, and New York and collaborating with featured artists, carefully considering every detail to ensure the project meets her high standards.

“Until I have the album ready, I’m not going home,” the mother of three told Rolling Stone writer Mankaprr Conteh. “I’m a different person every single day. When I’m in a good mood and I’m with my friends, [I’m] like, ‘Damn, I want my sh*t to be played in this club.’ But then I might be mad with my man, so it’s like now I want to do this song. But then I want to do a pop record. I want to do my sing-y sh*t.”

 

Cardi Says She Wants To Get Snatched After Her Pregnancy

Once the femcee releases her sophomore album, it seems she’ll be turning her attention to achieving her post-birth body goals. During an Instagram Live video on Aug. 14, the hip-hop star addressed online critics and some fans who had commented on her weight gain. Cardi revealed that she discovered she was pregnant shortly after filming her music video for “Enough,” and she took the opportunity to call out those who had been critical of her body changes.

 “Y’all was making fun of me thinking that I was getting extra surgeries. All along, I just gained 15lbs cuz I’m a pregnant hoe, “ the star said at the 12:17 minute mark. 

Cardi B plans to take her time to transform her body. The New York star mentioned that once she achieves her ultimate physique, she won’t hesitate to call out those who criticized her body. Cardi B believes her naturally slim frame means she’ll lose weight quickly post-birth.

“The time as soon as I give birth I’m going to work out,” she added. “And when I look snatched, I’m not going to be humble… Imma look the f*** good and I’mma remind ya’ll b*****… Snap back is gonna be on a thousand.”
