As always, Cardi B would hit back at anyone who tries to disrespect her online. The latest is a reaction to a fan who sought to question the rapper’s workout routine, barely a week after she had been discharged from the labor ward.

The singer threw shots after she revealed that she spent about 30 minutes working out on the stairs, a few days after having her third baby with offset. She took matters personally after a follow on X (Twitter) replied with a not-too-pleasant comment.

“It’s barely been a week. Yoh, the pressure women in the industry are under? Insane,” the user wrote. Cardi then put out some strong-worded rejoinder and urged her fans not to comment on her weight or workout habits.

“This is my third baby and postpartum is a little different from my first two… I’m not doing heaving lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that…just cardio,” she explained.

“Sometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy and for me that’s work and staying active,” she added.

After this, the Be Careful singer sounded surprised about the same followers who questioned her excess weight gain while she was pregnant.

“But you know what’s funny? Y’all dragged me down when I gained 15 pounds because I was 5 months pregnant, but now yall fake concerned and wanna talk about pressure?“Y’all said I was pregnant to avoid working now that you see I’m still at it it’s something else?…So yeah I’m taking this personal but it’s for me because either way y’all are gonna have something to say,” she noted, before the unidentified follower apologised.

Cardi B celebrated the arrival of her third child with some adorable pictures recently. She delivered the baby on Saturday, September 7, but broke the news to her fans late last week.

In an Instagram post on Thursday, September 12, the Drip composer appeared in a colorful robe, smiling with her baby in her arms in a hospital bed.

Her husband Offset, whom she divorced in July, was also seen cradling the baby, in the post with the caption: “The prettiest lil thing 9/7/24.” Cardi B already has a son Wave, 3, and a daughter Kulture, 6, with Offset, 32.
