Cardi B isn’t having it when it comes to disparaging comments about her legal issues or family.
Tuesday, the “Up” artist utilized the tongue-out emoji when stating that some people “wanna see a bad bitch do bad.” From there, she responded to comments referencing her “going to prison,” again deploying the tongue-out emoji.
“Before I go to prison you gone see me breakin more records and making more Ms,” she told one Twitter user. And to another who questioned Offset’s parenting in connection with this hypothetical scenario, Cardi noted the entire basis of the attempted own was senseless.
“My man is allow to be with his kids so what’s your point?” she asked.
A fan then jumped in to defend Cardi, suggesting that detractors leave children out of comments of this variety. “Exactly!” Cardi said. “I be chillin I don’t know why people think is sweet to play wit my kids.”
Later, she retweeted a screenshot of a previously shared quote that reads, “No one ever notices when you’re being provoked, just when you retaliate.”
Earlier this week, CBS New York reported that a hearing is set for next week in Queens Criminal Court for the reckless endangerment and assault charges for which Cardi has pleaded not guilty. The charges stem from allegations connected with a reported fight at a strip club in 2018. If convicted, according to the report, Cardi could be facing a sentence of up to four years.
Also this month, Cardi—as seen in a letter obtained by Complex—defended herself to the judge in a separate case focused on the cover art for her Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1 project against claims from the plaintiff regarding her Paris trip.
“I fully understand that our going to Paris for such a major event could lead someone to assume it all ‘must have been’ a long time in the planning, and well-known far in advance, but it was not that at all,” Cardi said in the letter, adding that the chance to go to Paris didn’t come to her attention until after her Sept. 10 declaration.
In lighter news, Cardi recently joked that she’s now become “famous famous” after coming across a clip of You star Penn Badgley praising her social media expertise and the genuine connection she has with her fans.
“Cardi B is a great example of that, she has such an authentic relationship,” the actor said in the clip, prompting an understandably all-caps response from Cardi in which she celebrated the fact that the star of one of Netflix’s most popular series is a fan of her work.
