What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver News, and after being accused of homophobia
and transphobia online, Cardi B is firing back with a few words of her own.
It seems like just last week Cardi B was trending on Twitter as fans attempted to cancel her
by spreading the hashtag #CardiBIsOverParty.
Oh, wait… that’s because it WAS just last week.
After many fans were left unsure and confused as to why the hashtag began trending, Cardi
got word of the ‘party’ and reacted to the news.
In her first tweet, she joked, “What we wearing for the Cardi B is over party?”
But as things started to get even more intense, Cardi responded to many fans who attempted
to bring up old drama that she has apologized for over and over again.
In a blacked-out video, Cardi can be heard saying, “I woke up and I’m seeing that
they’re trying to make ‘Cardi B Is Cancelled Party.’ I’m like, ‘What the f***,’
I’m not doing anything!”
Cardi then went on to address many other accusations she’d been seeing across the internet including
claims that she’d been feuding with Ariana Grande and Lil Kim, as well as creating fake
Instagram accounts.
This recent situation all started on Monday when one user tweeted about the fact that
Cardi is mentioned in an episode of Hulu’s Love, Victor, which is about a high school
student struggling with his sexual orientation.
The user responded to the tweet, saying, “Thats crazy, considering the woman is homophobic
and transphobic.”
Clearly this one crossed the line as Cardi didn’t take these allegations lightly, especially
considering the world’s current climate, and she fired back in a series of tweets.
She started by saying QUOTE, “How the f*** am i homophobic or transphobic? have you been
to a carribean island where you really see homophobia! Have you dealt with a parent that
can't accept you for your sexuality? i said some ignorant things b4 that apologized for
& educated myself on it don't mean I'm homo..”
She added QUOTE, “Ya keep using that same 1 video that I apologize for over & over again
to call me homophobic & transphobic 1 but never post about the ones where I support
the LGBT community which are multiples and the multiple tweets I posted in support.”
The video Cardi is likely referring to is in reference to her 2018 collab called “Girls,”
featuring Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha and Charli XCX, when fans harshly criticized the foursome
for “invalidating and trivializing queer relationships, especially ones between lesbian
and bisexual women.”
Even celebrities like Hayley Kiyoko fired back on social media, saying, “A song like
this just fuels the male gaze while marginalizing the idea of women loving women. I know this
wasn't the intention of the artists on the song, but it's the lack of consideration behind
these lyrics that really get me.”
To further prove her case, Cardi then gave a reasoning as to why she personally supports
the LGBTQ+ community, saying that she witnessed how hard it was for her gay cousin to come
out to his very strict Dominican family.
She then continued to drop examples, saying, “I support because I know the pain my cousin
from my mom's side, which is a Tran, have a f***ed up relationship with her dad for
years! I support because I seen the transitions & the feelings my glam team had during their
time with their body transition & my sister Coming out to my mom & dad religious people
as gay so before ya make it cool to call me homophobic & transphobic learn what those
words mean and research my encouragement to the LGBT community b4 ya motherf***ers even
knew who was CardiN.”
That seemed to have silenced the haters just a little…
And it seems that Cardi just can’t seem to catch a break as she was even caught up
in another Twitter feud between rapper and TikTok personality Dela Wesst after she alleged
that Cardi had stolen her lyrics for her song “Clout” via TikTok.
Both Cardi and Dela went back and forth on Twitter, as Cardi claims she wrote the song
in January, and if Dela showed her proof that it was written before that, maybe she’d
have a chance.
The back and forth continued until Cardi tossed in the towel, claiming that she was going
to be taking a break from the Internet for a couple days, and on second thought, this
doesn’t seem like a half-bad idea…
