hey welcome back and in today's video I'm gonna be talking about the cardi B
situation where a video from her past surfaced where she admitted to some
pretty heinous acts let's get to that today as what is it what is this
playlist now if you're unfamiliar with cardi B milk Alice almonds are known
professionally as cardi B is an American rapper singer and songwriter born and
raised in the Bronx New York City she became an internet celebrity after
several of her posts and videos went viral on vine and Instagram
now what's essentially happened is this video surfaced where she admits to
drugging and robbing men back when she was very young probably about late teens
early early 20s couldn't have been much more than that
and she did this while she was stripping a lot of people are saying that this is
just the stigma of rap and most rappers are very well known for documenting
their pasts activities in raps and interviews other people were saying in
the wake of the me2 movement if she had had been a a man the world would be
completely outraged I want to know what you guys think just let me know in the
comments below one article says that street cred for
rappers has often been solidified by detailing their past actions and
everything from raps interviews so it would seem that cardi B has recently
discovered admission to drugging and robbing men during her stripper past
would be just another example of that the 26 year old cardi B born and raised
in the Bronx has been an open book since she rock through the fame on the vh1
series Love & Hip Hop in 2015 when her single money moves made her a bonafide
rap star her rough yet playful image remained intact the clip that drew the
firestorm was apparently posted an Instagram on 2016 before the singer
became a platinum selling rapper in it the emotion of Carter B says that to
make it in the music industry and in life she had to do some things that
she's not proud of now my personal belief behind this is that our past
actions do not define the person that we are today our adversities and the
hardships that we've went through have developed the character in the people
that we are today only if it's big if you don't let what
happened to you in the past currently dictate your actions now
outrage ensued with some comparing cardi B to Bill Cosby who was convicted last
year for drugging and hurting women in 2004 others posted surviving cardi B on
social media playing off ultra popular lifetime documentary series surviving
our Kelly Damien Scott the editor-in-chief and vice-president and
content development of hip-hop magazine complex had this to say about the cardi
B situation the difference here is that cardi B remembering crimes she committed
in her very formidable years while they are crimes to me they are not on the
same degree if criminality of the allegations from
Bill Cosby in our Kelly she claims she would do horrible things to men and
robbed them is this bad extremely bad however on the scale of what's
acceptable in rap and what has been acceptable in rap to me it's on the tame
side and see where he's coming from on this it seems rap is all about telling
the stories of the past and the things and the struggles that they did coming
up but rappers have been in trouble for things that they've said in the past in
their rap songs in 2013 Reebok cut ties with Rick Ross for things that he said
and PepsiCo cut ties of Lil Wayne for things that he said some felt that if
cardi B were a man especially in the me2 era she would have suffered greater
backlash for her admission brand and reputation management expert Eric
Schiffer said he felt that there was a slight double standard when it came to
cardi B's situation Rick Ross did come out defending card to be saying
reason I tell you that is and a lot of circumstances
that's what come with that lifestyle you seen over here dad we all know that
unfortunately I'm from Miami and I understand that my circumstances in my
institution who I did lose a seven-figure deal and to make situations
even worse somebody came out with an alleged story that she did in fact do
this to him it turned out to be completely fake I was in New York about
five years ago training and my trainer suggested we go to the strip club
normally I would have turned it down but this time we decided to go so we're in
the strip club and I meet cardi I'm feeling her and convinced her to go back
to my room I was drinking and then I had to go to the restroom when I came back
to finish my drink last thing I remember she was dancing
music was blasting and that was it the next morning I saw that eight hundred
and fifty dollars my Louis Vuitton belt and iPod touch were missing I tried
calling her several times but soon realized she gave me a Google Voice
number I know she did it but I couldn't prove it so I never went to file charges
mainly because I did not want my fiancee at the time to know what happened so I
took a nail I can't lie it was certainly traumatizing as a man
you never want to admit you were taken advantage of no man wants to say me to
someone reached out and asked if he was serious where he said no it was a joke
again somebody asking if he made a fake article on cardi B said I didn't know it
would go this far and then again his brother saying he'd made it up as a joke
now I talked about this in the past where I do believe that the mutant
movement was originally founded with good intentions but there have been
people that have taken advantage of it using it as a tool against other people
as we seen with the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case that's still ongoing it
does appear that this was used against him now I want to know what you guys
think do you feel like the me tube movement is still something that helps
people or is it become a sort of meme a joke or even a tool used against other
people for gain cardi B did come out with a statement on March 26 to 2019
saying so I'm seeing on social media that in live I did three years ago has
popped back up a live where I talked about things I had to do in my past
right or wrong I feel to do those things to make a living I
never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world with a perfect past I
always speak the truth I always own my stuff I'm a part of
hip-hop culture where you can talk about where you come from and talk about the
wrong things you had to do to get to where you are there are rappers that
glorify murder violence drugs and robbing crimes they feel they had to do
to survive I never glorified the things I brought up in that live I never even
put those things in my music because I'm not proud of it I feel a responsibility
not to glorify I made these choices that I did at the time because I had very
limited options I was blessed to have been able to rise from that but so many
women have not whether or not they are poor choices at the time I did what I
had to do to survive the minute I spoke about in my life were men that I dated
and I had been involved with men that were conscious willing and aware I have
a past that I can't change we all do I'm really interested in what you guys think
about this do you feel like this is just part of a rap culture thing where you
talk about things illegal or not that you did in your past to get to where you
are now or do you feel like there are real consequences that need to be held
accountable here let me know what you think so if you haven't been keeping up
a video from cardi B's past resurfaced from Instagram in 2016 where she
admitted to some illegal activities some people are saying that if she was a man
the repercussions of this would be much more severe others are saying that this
is just part of the rap game and that she did some things in the past she's
always been an open book and she's moved on to better herself I want to know what
you guys think about this winners go ahead let your creative and her interest
and responses in the comment box always brothers and sisters I will see you in
the next video I think the situation is very sensitive and there's gonna be
strong opinions on both sides and I will be in the comment section to read those
