Cardi B HARSHLY claps back at ‘dumb’ follower who asked if she was ‘bleaching’ her skin while pregnant

Cardi B responded fiercely to an X follower this week after she asked if the rapper was changing her skin color.

The singer, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus, shot back at the fan, saying she would never do something so dangerous if she was pregnant.

The singer also told the fan that she was “dumb” and thought “a**h***” with her.

The 31-year-old Bodak Yellow singer is expecting her third child with her estranged husband Offset.

According to MedicalNewsToday, skin bleaching is a common cosmetic practice worldwide. However, many people still use bleaching products to lighten their complexion.

This is dangerous because “there is no safe or reliable way to lighten someone’s skin tone” with bleach.

The uproar started on Wednesday when a follower on the social media platform X asked her if she had bleached her skin after seeing a photo of Cardi showing her bare baby bump.

Her skin did indeed appear lighter, but that was probably due to the camera flash.

The rapper was upset by the accusation and even called the fan ‘dumb’ and asked her to stop thinking with her ‘a**h***’.

Cardi said she looked lighter because the pregnancy was hard on her and she is now anemic.

‘Bleaching during pregnancy’ [three sad face emojis]? Why do you have to be so stupid? No way! I’m pregnant, I’m slightly anemic, this baby is sucking all the energy out of my body to the point that I’m pale, my eyes are sunken, my veins are green ASF, I can’t tan in the sun because I get hot and dizzy really fast… PLEASE STOP THINKING WITH YOUR A**H***!’

Cardi also mentioned the X user’s name.

Earlier this month, Cardi said she feared she had suffered a miscarriage after a ‘freak accident’.

The 31-year-old rapper announced on social media that she recently suffered a health issue that left her fearing for the life of her unborn baby.

Cardi — who already has Wave, two, and Kulture, six, with estranged husband Offset — said on X, “I was in a horrible accident.

‘I don’t know how something, well, it wasn’t small. It really hurt.

“It doesn’t really happen often, but it turned into something so big that I literally became paralyzed. But yeah. And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come. But that didn’t happen. Yesterday I felt good. I came home, but I came home like a kite.

‘Today I woke up sober, honey. I’m dying. I’m dying.

“I swear to God, if I don’t feel good in four hours, I’m going to the hospital and I don’t give a damn. I’m going to exaggerate this shit so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn. Oh my God.”

Cardi only recently announced her pregnancy via a social media post.

The award-winning rapper – who has filed for divorce from Offset – said on Instagram: ‘With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you all, you have given me more love, more life and most importantly renewed strength!

‘Reminded me that I can have it all! You reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love and my passion!

‘I love you so much and I can’t wait for you to see what you’ve helped me achieve, what you’ve pushed me to do!

‘It’s so much easier to accept life’s twists and turns and let the test rest, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to persevere!’
