Cardi B

Typically outspoken in her political beliefs, Cardi B shared a video of herself dancing this morning, seemingly unaware of the overturn of Roe v. Wade. She eventually caught wind of the news, however, trolls had already begun flooding her mentions.

In response to someone trolling her, who has since deleted their tweet, Cardi posted a video, in which she claims she had just woken up, but even if she had spoken out, she feels she would’ve received hate regardless.

“Every single time that I talk about political sh*t, y’all get me f*cking dragged,” she said. “So shut the f*ck up, you hear me? Matter of fact, just a couple of weeks ago, I talked about, ‘Hey, watch, we’re entering a recession. When is the government gonna talk about we entering a recession?’ Y’all know what you told me? Mind [your] business, you’re rich.’ Matter of fact, every time single time that I talk about something that’s going on in the community, y’all tell me to mind my business, so suck my d*ck.”

While Cardi was met with much support from her fans, she received a large amount of vitriol from trolls, some of them even went so far as to attack her three-year-old daughter, Kulture.

“Your daughter is literally autistic,” wrote one troll, “and you’re on stan Twitter instead of making sure she’s not sticking her fingers in outlets.”

“My daughter is not autistic…You can’t call her ugly so y’all have to diagnose her with something,” Cardi replied. Go play in traffic b*tch.”

Another troll claimed Cardi was acting immature and insisted that rappers like Megan The Stallion wouldn’t spend their time hitting back at trolls online.

“You’re 30 years old, even Megan [who’s] younger than you not on the internet acting like a miserable child,” they wrote.

Cardi responded: “30,40,50 …Don’t bring my kids up on sh*t…This is all because I put a video of me dancing and y’all wanted me to talk about rod vs wade …WHY YALL BRING UP KIDS FOR? Wtf my kids gotta do wit y’all misery?”

Despite the hate she received earlier, Cardi refuses to be bothered. She later quoted Beyoncé, saying “You won’t break my soul …THATS ON GANG!”

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Hip-hop’s various stan wars have created an odd climate online. You can be the biggest artist of the moment and fans can wonder whether or not you’re falling off at the same exact time. Take Cardi B, for instance. In 2020, just two years removed from the release of the most successful debut from a female rapper in the whole history of rap, she was fighting off rumors that she’d been shelved by Atlantic. This was literally one month into the media juggernaut that was “WAP” and just months before “Up” came along to return her to the top of the charts yet again.

It has been a while since the release of both monster hits, but it looks like Cardi isn’t going to let fans forget her accomplishments this time. Apparently, she’s been feeling a bit of pressure from impatient Bardi Gangsters who are pressed over waiting for new music after Cardi admitted to some “technical difficulties.” But rather than giving them time to crank up the rumor cycle, she returned with a reminder and a stern warning on Twitter, sharing a video compiling some of her past hits and promising that she’s going to go even harder.

“Just a little reminder feeling like 2020 when I had to come out and STEP to remind them,” she wrote. “P.S-IM GONNA STOMP THIS TIME AROUND.”
