Cardi B has quelled fans’ worries about her safety after a recent TikTok video showed her alone on a busy New York City street.
In the clip, Cardi is seen standing solo, visibly pregnant, which sparked concern among her followers. One concerned fan humorously questioned on X, ‘Now why my wife is walking with no security in them streets?’ to which Cardi responded, ‘It was like 9am and I was hungry …also nobody finna touch me.’
Despite the lighthearted reply, more fans expressed unease over her apparent lack of security. Cardi quickly clarified that she’s perfectly capable of protecting herself, hinting at her personal safety measures. ‘My house got 24/7 security. I’m very spontaneous and I like my privacy …Sometimes I want to go to the deli or make a quick target run …I’m not waiting around till security come …ALSO I ALWAYS ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING ON ME!’ she shared in a now-deleted tweet.
Cardi expressed her frustration at being coddled by fans, stating, ‘Love y’all but please stop talking to me like this I hate being babied. I do this lol.’ A user’s comment that her reaction was ‘a trauma response’ didn’t help, prompting Cardi to retort, ‘Wtffff yall be talking about …yall need help. It was 9am and I went to get a bacon egg and cheese …STOP WIT THIS cry baby shit.’
This isn’t the first time Cardi has found herself in a social media storm. Earlier this month, she dismissed rumors about skin bleaching during her third pregnancy. After sharing a photo of herself with a friend, someone questioned her lighter skin tone. Cardi shot back, ‘Bleaching while pregnant? Why must yall be so dumb? Actually NO! I’m pregnant I’m slightly anemic, this baby suckin all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale, eyes sunken, veins green ASF, can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy …PLEAE STOP THINKIN WITH YOUR ASSHOLE!’
Cardi’s candor and fierce independence continue to make waves, leaving a lasting impression on fans and critics alike. Whether it’s about her safety or shutting down baseless rumors, she always has a strong response ready.
In true Cardi B fashion, she handles public concern with her signature mix of humor and blunt honesty, proving yet again that she’s very much in control.
