Cardi B Shuts Down Skin Bleaching Rumors Amid Pregnancy: ‘Why Must Y’all Be So Dumb?’
Cardi B is not one to stay silent when false rumors surface about her. The Bronx native recently addressed speculation that she’s been bleaching her skin while pregnant with her third child, and in true Cardi fashion, she wasted no time shutting down the gossip.
The drama began when Cardi B shared a photo of herself and a friend on social media, proudly showcasing her growing baby bump. Shortly after, an X (formerly Twitter) user commented on her appearance, suggesting that the rapper was bleaching her skin because she looked paler than usual.
Cardi quickly clapped back, putting an end to the rumors. “Bleaching while pregnant?” she responded with several side-eye emojis. “Why must y’all be so dumb? Actually NO! I’m pregnant and slightly anemic. This baby is sucking all the energy out of my body to the point I’m pale, eyes sunken, veins green as f***. I can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy. PLEASE STOP THINKING WITH YOUR ASSHOLE!”
Cardi’s response serves as a reminder that changes in skin tone during pregnancy are common and can be influenced by factors such as anemia and hormonal shifts.
In other news, Cardi B recently opened up about her dislike for living in Atlanta, especially during her ongoing divorce from rapper Offset, who is a native of the city. During an Instagram Live session on August 22, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker revealed that despite public assumptions, she doesn’t actually live in Atlanta.
“I don’t live in Atlanta. I have a house in Atlanta, but I only go there like three or four times a year, and usually just for a week or less,” Cardi explained. “I tried to move to Atlanta in 2018 and lived there for like six months. And I hated it. I don’t have one friend in Atlanta, and I don’t have any family there, so I just don’t like Atlanta.”
This candid confession came as a surprise to many fans, given that Cardi has often been associated with the ATL scene due to her marriage to Offset. However, it’s clear that New York and New Jersey hold a closer place in her heart.
Cardi B and Offset’s relationship has been a rollercoaster ride, filled with public breakups and makeups. Earlier this month, Cardi filed for divorce from Offset for the second time, officially signaling the end of their marriage.
According to sources close to the couple, the split has been “a long time coming.” TMZ reported that Cardi and Offset have been growing apart for some time, and despite attempts to reconcile earlier this year, they were unable to resolve their differences.
While the separation is said to be amicable, Cardi has reportedly hired a top-tier divorce lawyer and is seeking primary custody of their two children, six-year-old Kulture and two-year-old Wave. The rapper has also addressed reports that suggest Offset wasn’t pulling his weight when it came to family responsibilities, shutting down those claims as untrue.
As Cardi B navigates her pregnancy and prepares for life post-divorce, she remains focused on her career and family. Despite the challenges she’s faced, Cardi continues to rise above the noise, proving that she’s not only resilient but also unafraid to speak her truth.
As the rumors fade away, fans are left eagerly anticipating what’s next for the chart-topping rapper. Whether it’s new music, business ventures, or more candid moments on social media, one thing is certain: Cardi B is far from done making headlines.
