Things got real spicy in Cardi B’s corner of the internet this week! The 31-year-old rap queen, known for her hits and her oh-so-subtle clapbacks, found herself shutting down yet another wild rumor on X (formerly Twitter). The latest hot gossip? That Cardi was—gasp—bleaching her skin! Oh, the drama.
It all started when Cardi posted a sweet little pic of herself and a pal, her friend rocking a baby bump like it’s the hottest new accessory. But, of course, someone had to rain on the parade. A rogue internet detective (who clearly moonlights as a skincare expert) decided to re-share the photo, adding some sizzling hot tea: “Is Cardi B out here lightening her skin?”
Cue Cardi B’s dramatic entrance, complete with eye rolls you could feel through the screen. “BLEACHING WHILE PREGNANT?!” she responded, throwing not one, but TWO of those classic exasperated emoji faces. You know, the ones that say, “I can’t with you, but I also will, because I’m Cardi B.”
Her follow-up? The verbal equivalent of a WWE smackdown. She went on to explain that no, she’s not out here bleaching, but she is pregnant, pale, and rocking a look that screams, “I’m tired, y’all!” And why? Because that tiny human inside her is basically siphoning off all her energy like it’s preparing for a marathon. She’s so anemic, she could probably blend into the wallpaper of a Victorian hospital.
Cardi’s words exactly? “Actually NO! I’m pregnant, I’m slightly anemic, this baby’s draining my energy like it’s got a Hoover vacuum in there. I’m pale, my eyes are sunken, and my veins are basically turning into glow-in-the-dark highlighters. Also, fun fact, I can’t even tan because I get dizzy faster than a TikTok trend. So, PLEASE stop thinking with your… ahem… rear-end!”
And let’s be real, she put it much more colorfully than that.
Oh, and in case you thought this was just a one-off from Cardi B’s vault of legendary comebacks, she recently dropped another bombshell—she was this close to losing her baby after a freak accident. Moral of the story: don’t mess with Cardi B, especially when she’s pregnant and exhausted. Or ever, really.
