American female rapper Cardi B has jumped to the defense of Jamaican dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel over his current physical appearance.

Many people have been happy for Vybz Kartel since he gained his release, but he’s also been the target of offensive remarks regarding his appearance. But after learning about the situation, Cardi B recently came forward to support the dancehall icon.

“I do not play about f**king Vybz Kartel. When I see y’all f**king Americans… No offense, no offense. I mean, I’m American, but when I see y’all talking about f**king Vybz Kartel, I be getting upset ’cause, like, not too much. Not too f**king much. Mind your f**king business. I do not play about f**king Vybz Kartel, bi**h. At all. At all. I do not, I do not, I do not, ” she said in a recent X Spaces.

Recently, Vybz Kartel, who has been battling Graves’ disease, posted pictures of himself. His skin was darkened in the picture, which is a typical sign of the autoimmune condition. Even though Vybz’s illness has been widely known for more than a year, fans claimed he was bleaching his skin.

Cardi B was recently in the news when she opened up to her fans about an accident that led to her hospitalization and nearly caused her to lose her unborn baby.

She reportedly disclosed this in X (Twitter) Spaces conversation with her followers but did not reveal when the supposed incident occurred. The mother of two only stated that it nearly left her paralyzed and that it “actually hurt.”

Early this month, the rapper filed for divorce from her husband of seven years, Offset. Fans have requested a new album from Cardi B, but it appears she will focus on family matters for now.

The two rappers went through somewhat rough moments before announcing their breakup. Cheating accusations started flying when Offset was spotted spending time with a woman at a casino, though he maintained his innocence.
