Cardi B is shutting down the rumors about her complexion during her pregnancy.
The rumors kicked off after the rapper, 31, shared a photo of her friend rubbing on her baby bump on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.
Social media users reacted to the photo by speculating that the musician has been bleaching her skin.
On Wednesday, Cardi, who is expecting her third child with estranged husband Offset, hit back at the claims while opening up about her pregnancy complications.
“Bleaching while pregnant 😒😒😒? Why must yall be so dumb?,” the “WAP” crooner wrote on X.
“Actually NO ! I’m pregnant I’m slightly anemic ,this baby suckin all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale,eyes sunken ,veins green ASF,can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy ….PLEAE STOP THINKIN WITH YOUR ASSHOLE!,” she added.
Many of Cardi’s 34 million-plus followers praised her for clapping back at the trolls, while others offered up sympathy in her comments section over her pregnancy struggles.
Cardi’s response comes after she announced her pregnancy earlier this month on social media with a pair of belly-baring shots.
The rapper, whose birth name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, broke the news the same day she reportedly filed for divorce from Offset (born Kiari Kendrell Cephus), Buzzfeed News reports.
“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!” Cardi wrote in an Aug. 1 Instagram post. “You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”
She continued, “I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”.
Cardi and Offset also share two young children: daughter Kulture and son Wave.
