AceShowbiz - The ever-outspoken Cardi B has once again taken to social media to shut down rumors and body-shaming comments circulating about her post-baby body. After welcoming her third child with estranged husband Offset just a month ago, the rapper and mother of three are facing an onslaught of online criticism about her appearance.
Cardi, born Belcalis Almánzar, posted an update about her weight loss journey, sharing a picture of her unbelievably thin midriff and revealing that she's losing weight everywhere except her face. This sparked rumor that her predicament was the result of a plastic surgery, with some social media users wasting no time to critique her body.
One fan tweeted, "The fact Cardi B really did that to her body is pissing me off! Like y'all gotta start loving yourself, ladies! No way she should've f**ked her s**t up like that and she really thinks that s**t looks good too. Smh, it don't Cardi, you still bae a lil bit, but you blew it."
The "WAP" rapper wasn't about to let the comment slide. Clapping back in true Cardi style, she tweeted, "Y'all really need to relax. This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE," sharing recent photos of herself with a more realistic figure as she looks stunning in a black dress. She emphasized that her body looked "exaggerated" in a previous video because she had a 5X faja (girdle) on.
Another user intensified the body-shaming by commenting on Cardi's stomach, "Babe, you still look crazy, and your stomach always looks like it's about to rip apart. Focusing so much on how you look right now shouldn't even be a thing because you just pushed out a child."
Cardi, known for her unabashed retorts, responded, "B***h, you literally look like a f**in' potato yet you talking bout my looks with a passion. This why I be dragging you b*****s by y'all draws, cause b***h why you got so much nerves." She further clarified that she couldn't have had plastic surgery as many suggested, retweeting a post that pointed out women are typically advised to wait six months after giving birth before considering any surgical enhancements.
Despite the volatile criticism, Cardi continues to balance her life as a new mom and a high-profile celebrity. Between handling her publicized divorce from Offset, working on her next studio album, and preparing for her performance at One Music Fest, the Grammy winner's refusal to be silenced proves once again why she remains a powerful voice for women facing relentless scrutiny over their appearances.
