Cardi B’s Thirsty Tweet About Janelle Monáe’s NSFW Video Causes Shadow Ban, She Asks Elon Musk For Help

by

New York-born lyricist Cardi B has never been one to censor herself, which is precisely why fans love her. Unfortunately, it seems Twitter isn’t so fond of her often-salacious nature, as the mother of two’s account was hit with a shadow ban following her NSFW response to a video of Janelle Monáe. If you somehow didn’t hear, the Dirty Computer songstress practically broke the internet last week with a video of her bare breasts being flashed to her audience during a performance, among other antics.

When she came across the footage, Cardi took the opportunity to thirst after Monáe the way many fans have – shamelessly. As Uproxx reports, she used an image of the reality star and OnlyFans content creator Natalie Nunn hooking up with another woman to express her feelings, though the message was quickly taken down. In the days following, the rap diva seems to have noticed a substantial difference in her Twitter engagement, as she reached out to CEO Elon Musk with a public plea for help.

Cardi B Turns to Elon Musk for Help

“I’m shadow banned ’cause I posted a picture of somebody getting their [t*tty] sicked,” she wrote on Tuesday (May 16). “@elonmusk please unshadow ban me. I won’t do it again,” Bardi further pleaded. That most, like the original one that got her in trouble, has since been deleted as well, though we nabbed a screenshot before the removal. Seeing as the South African engineer will only be head honcho of the social media platform for a short period, it remains unclear if he’ll still have the authority to help the Grammy Award winner following his demotion.

It’s worth noting that her post’s impressions are noticeably lower than in the past, prior to her expressing interest in Monáe. Do you think Elon Musk should help Cardi B out with her shadow ban situation? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lizzo has officially returned to the stage to finish out the last leg of her Special Tour. on May 5th, Lizzo announced she had to cancel her Montreal tour date due to health issues. After canceling an additional tour date, she returned to the stage in Baltimore, Maryland on May 9th. Celebrating her return, Lizzo posted a video of her during the Baltimore date on her social media. Additionally, she theorized she had been shadowbanned from TikTok.

On May 10th, Lizzo posted a video on TikTok stating her belief to be shadow banned from the popular app. She noticed the differences in viewership between Instagram and Tik Tok.“I’m officially shadow banned, because how did I post this on Instagram and it already has 135 thousand views,” she said. The video was noticeably cut short. She continued her statement by adding the caption: “In less than 30 minutes?” Lizzo expressed her disappointment in the written caption seemingly wanting to delete the platform. “Deleting this but this app getting wack,” she said with a tomato emoji. Although she has more TikTok followers, she gained more views on Instagram instead.
