Rap sensation Cardi B recently clapped back at a follower on the social media platform X, who questioned whether she had altered her skin tone. The 31-year-old artist, expecting her third child with estranged husband Offset, vehemently denied the accusation, citing her pregnancy as the reason for her pale complexion.
Cardi B, known for her unapologetic honesty, responded sharply to the follower, labeling them “dumb” for thinking with their “lower extremities.” She explained that her anemia during pregnancy had left her pale, with sunken eyes and greenish veins.
The exchange began when a follower asked Cardi B if she had bleached her skin, pointing to a photo of the rapper with a seemingly lighter complexion. However, Cardi B attributed her pale skin to her pregnancy, stating that she was anemic and experiencing fatigue.
Skin bleaching, a common cosmetic practice worldwide, involves using products to lighten one’s skin tone. However, medical experts warn that there is no safe or reliable way to achieve this using bleach, highlighting the dangers of such practices.
Cardi B clapped back at an X follower this week after she asked if the rapper was altering her skin color. The hitmaker – real name Belcalis Marlenis Cephus – harshly barked back at the fan as she said she would never do something so dangerous while pregnant.
