Cardi B went live on Instagram this weekend and disclosed some pretty rattling information about her life before she became famous.
Let's just say, many of her fans may no longer be her fans because of it.
Cardi B went live on Instagram this weekend and disclosed some pretty rattling information about her life before she became famous.
Let's just say, many of her fans may no longer be her fans because of it.
She knows that she's had a fairly interesting come-up, and thinks it's novel-worthy.
“I had to go strip, I had to go, ‘Oh yeah, you want to [expletive] me? Yeah yeah yeah, let’s go back to this hotel,’" she said.
Since she uttered the words "I drugged [expletive] up and robbed them" fans have been absolutely losing it — and not in a good way.
Twitter users also compared Cardi to Bill Cosby, and said that if she were a man, she would be "canceled" for saying that she drugged and robbed someone.
They added that no one should be defending her because she's a woman or because of any possible childhood traumas she may have dealt with.
"The double standards are insane. Do men justice and lock her up," they added.
Cardi claims that although she isn't proud of what she did, she maintains that she did what she had to do to survive.
She also points out that often times in hip-hop culture, rappers will glorify crimes they may have committed — but that she doesn't because she knows that what she did wasn't right.
This person pointed out what penalties a person can face for the crimes cardi admitted to doing.
This Twitter user thinks that Cardi could be looking at doing some hard time in the slammer.
They continued by saying that Cardi shouldn't use that as an excuse.
I'm guessing that this person is clearing out any Cardi B songs they may have had in their Spotify library as we speak — boycotting her indefinitely.
They went on to say that if a male artist admitted to drugging women and robbing them, they would immediately be arrested and labeled a predator.
This person points out that Cardi shouldn't be being compared to R. Kelly — someone who is a convicted pedophile — and that everyone is simply overreacting.
This is vague, but I'm guessing they just mean that the mistakes Cardi made in the past are in the past, and everyone should just let her keep doing what she's been doing.
Thankfully Cardi has recognized her mistakes, publicly owned up to them, and is now focused on her family and her future.
Do you think that this is going to be a career dealbreaker for her? Should she face legal consequences? Or is the whole thing being dramatized?
