As one of the biggest names in hip-hop, Cardi B sometimes needs a way to deal with the pressure that comes with fame. For her, smoking a cigarette occasionally may be a way to unwind while navigating new music releases like the recent “AH HA” and the constant attention surrounding her personal and celebrity life.
While the habit isn’t considered ideal, everyone has their own struggles and vices. However, Cardi B is frustrated with fans who continue to criticize her for smoking cigarettes. During a recent social media livestream, the rapper called out her critics as hypocrites while smoking a cigarette, dressed casually in a bonnet and robe.
Cardi B pointed out the various recreational substances that have become popular, urging fans not to be hypocritical when criticizing her choices.
As one of the biggest artists in hip-hop, Cardi B deals with the pressure and stress that come with fame. She suggested that smoking a cigarette occasionally helps her relax while handling new music releases like “AH HA” and the ongoing drama surrounding her personal and public life. While the habit may not be ideal, Cardi believes everyone has their own vices. Recently, she called out fans for judging her smoking during a social media livestream while wearing a bonnet and robe.
“Don’t be judging me ’cause I be f***ing smoking cigarettes,” she said, as captured by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram. “‘Cause you b***hes be motherf***ing doing f***ing coke, horse tranquilizers, whippets, f***ing Percs, all types of motherf***ing s**t. F***ing Tusi, all types of motherf***ing drugs, b***h. Y’all better not be f***ing judging me, b***h. F**k is you talking about? I’m a grown b***h with four kids and motherf***ing bills and stress and s**t. But today I had a really, really good day. No judgement here… I’m so bored and I’m up.”
This was not the only time Cardi B responded to fans this week. The Bronx superstar also pushed back against people urging her to get a BBL reduction, stating, “I like my body how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin.”
Elsewhere, Cardi B has also been clearing up the meaning behind her lyrics after a snippet of her now-released track “AH HA” started circulating online. Some listeners assumed her line about “A n**** can’t trap me, I won’t keep it” was a reference to a baby, prompting the rapper to explain that the lyric was actually about a relationship.
Although the explanation seemed straightforward, some fans looked deeper into the line due to Cardi’s past romantic experiences. The rapper continues to face speculation surrounding Offset and Stefon Diggs, though she may already be looking ahead, as rumors have linked her to Nigerian soccer goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
Regardless, Cardi B is likely to have plenty more fan reactions and internet rumors to address in the future. The rapper has never shied away from the drama, but she also hopes fans can give her some space to relax without making every situation a bigger issue.
