Rap goddess Cardi B has hit back at a random person online who asked if she [Cardi] was bleaching amid her pregnancy. 

The Enough composer, who is expecting her third child with her now-divorced husband, Offset, addressed the user squarely, following the indecent reply to the post.

“Bleaching while pregnant? Why must y’all be so dumb?” Cardi asked. “Actually, no! I’m pregnant and slightly anemic.

“This baby is sucking all the energy out of my body, making me look pale, with sunken eyes and green veins. I can’t tan under the sun because I get hot super fast and feel dizzy… Please stop thinking with your a**hole,” the rapper added.

The picture that generated the heat was said to be from a birthday party where Cardi wore baggy jeans and had her bump on full display.

Some other followers defended Cardi B and urged people to show some respect to the expectant mother.

The award-winning performer recently opened up to her fans about an accident that led to her hospitalization and nearly caused her to lose her unborn baby.

She disclosed this in a conversation with her followers on X (Twitter) Spaces but did not reveal when the supposed incident occurred.

Fans had requested a new album from Cardi B, but it appears she will focus on family matters for now, after ending her relationship with Offset.

The two rappers reportedly went through somewhat rough moments before announcing their breakup.

However, sources close to the couple claimed that cheating rumors were not the cause of the divorce and that the couple had “grown apart” and had been discussing getting divorced for a while.
