Rap queen Cardi B is working to annul controversy over resurfaced footage in which she admits to drugging and robbing men, pointing to “limited options” during her stripping days.
Social media backlash has swirled in recent days over the three-year-old clip taken from an Instagram live session, with the unfiltered rapper saying she “drugged (men) up, and I robbed them. That’s what I used to do.”
Replying to the criticism over the video, the now 26-year-old went on the offensive on Instagram, saying she had talk about “things I had to do in my past good or bad that I felt I needed to do to make a living.”
“I was blessed to have been able to rise from that, but so many women have not.”
The expletive-laden video appears to be a response to allegations that she hadn’t earned her success, with Cardi saying in it: “Nothing was… handed to me.”
But the clip triggered the hashtag #SurvivingCardiB, a reference to the bombshell docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly” that refocused attention on sex abuse accusations against Kelly.
Many Twitter users alleged a double standard, saying Cardi B’s actions were comparable to those of male performers accused of sexual assault.
“The men I spoke about in my life were men that I dated, that I was involved with. Men that were conscious, willing and aware,” she posted on Instagram late Tuesday.
The outspoken superstar — who last month became the first woman solo artist to win a Best Rap Album Grammy — said she is part “of a hip hop culture where you can talk about where you come from, talk about the wrong things you had to do to get where you are.”
“There are rappers that glorify murder, violence, drugs and robbing,” Cardi said. “I never glorified the things I was brought up in that live (interview). I never even put those things in my music because I’m not proud of it and feel a responsibility not to talk about it.
“All I can do now is be a better me for myself, my family, and my future.”
ReplyDeleteFirst stop: the arranging. Ensure that the nursery is in every case very much kept up. Watch out for crawling weeds on the walkways and the walkways in light of the fact that the nearness of these awful buggers can put off a potential purchaser. To make the house look genial and comfortable, plant grouped blossoms and other decorative plants in the front yard. Supplant the exhausted front entryway and include a pleasant knocker or an excellent wreath to it. In the event that the entryway is as yet usable, you can paint it with shiny shading as opposed to purchasing another one. Along these lines, you can set aside more cash, which you can use to enhance different apparatuses.
