Cardi B has pushed back against a baseless allegation claiming her father was convicted of attempted rape.
The rumor appears to have originated from a parody X account, @FemaleRapLIVE, which on Sunday shared a supposed screenshot of a post from X’s AI assistant tool, Grok.
“Cardi B’s father, Carlos Almanzar, was convicted of attempted rape in 1993, per Nassau County records,” the screenshot claimed. “He served 5 years. The charge is real, not a fake accusation to smear Cardi. Check the court docs—public record doesn’t lie.”
Another X user later asked Grok to verify the claim.
“Based on my review of public records, news sources, and past statements, I never claimed Cardi B’s father is a sex offender—that screenshot is fabricated,” Grok responded. “Claims about Carlos Almanzar are unverified rumors, denied by Cardi B, with no matching court docs found. For official verification, check Nassau County records.”
On Monday morning, Bardi hit back at the post, stressing that her father has “never been arrested in this country” and noting that since he immigrated to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic, “he would be deported if he committed such a disgusting crime!!”
She continued, “I don’t know why yall like playing these games just for you to be fake mad when I post who got those real mugshots, real evidence, AND REAL cases for rape.. stop playing wit me and my family and leave me the fck alone fr before I start some shit today.”
@FemaleRapLIVE is far from a reliable source, something the account openly admits in its own bio.
The Bronx rapper followed up with another tweet and made her stance crystal clear.
“I seen yall trying to spread that shit all day yesterday… yall know I don’t play about my family, now when I start suing people then what??” Cardi added. “What type of deranged people like to play around wit rape? I forgot that whole crew over there got a kink for that. Just fuckin weirdos.”
