Cardi B under fire for admitting to drugging and robbing (Updates in OP)

[Shlice]

On Instagram Live yesterday, Cardi said "I had to go strip, I had to go, 'Oh yeah, you want to f*ck me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go back to this hotel,' and I drugged n***as up, and I robbed them. That’s what I used to do."

Shortly after, the hashtag #survivingcardib (a reference to Surviving R.Kelly) was trending on Twitter.

So she's as trash as her beats.

 

[stumblebee]

I'd imagine that's probably a risk you should take under consideration when you hire escorts.

 

[Pein]

Bronx girls are ruthless, that’s why I stick to queens and maybe Brooklyn.

 

[Lugia]

Thats why I've never been a fan. she has a poor character.

Capitalization can change the meaning of a sentence.

 

[Trup1aya]

People surprised? Man, some people are sheltered...

 

[DGenerator]

Stan Twitter is arguably the worst twitter. Perhaps even worse than political twitter.

 

[Anth0ny]

you mean a rapper would just go out there and publicly admit to committing crimes?

 

[Ross62]

Any different than the thousands of dude who say the same

 

[Deception]

Welcome to lower-class (the hood) living America. Robbing and drugging happens quite frequently when surrounding yourself with drug dealers/gangbangers and sex workers.

 

[WaffleTaco]

She was not a good person. Hopefully she’s changed.

Edit: it sounds like some of you are defending her? Maybe unintentionally? And no, it’s not cool when guys rap and talk about this either, unless it’s them showing remorse and guilt.

 

[Conciliator]

that sort of seems on brand to me

 

[Gaz]

Street cred

 

[I Am Captain America]

Well her reign had to end sometime

 

[NameUser]

It’s bad, but is it any worse than male rappers doing it at gun point? Not defending her or anything.

 

[pokeystaples]

People out here shocked by this? For real?

 

[collige]

You the one that robbed them little dudes out they shoes last night ha

Nothing will happen to her.

 

[HStallion]

You have to get shot 9 times before crime is cool in the hip hop game

 

[Trey]

I know this is supposed to be a braggadocio flex, but she should have kept that to herself. PR team better drop a fire ass apology tweet.

 

[Ichi]

lol why am i not surprised

 

[The Kree]

You gotta put the dirt in your raps, sweety, not your social media accounts.

 

[Charsace]

Not surprised she was a stripper. The guys she did it to can't say anything because they doing something illegal.

 

[Wyman Manderly]

What she did is not okurrrrrrrr

 

[PlayALLTheGames]

Keeping it too real...

 

[Ikuu]

Nothing will happen, people don't care, Murder On My Mind blew up after Melly (allegedly) killed two people...

 

[caffe misto]

She said dance, not fuck. Don't get it confused.

Not judging or blaming you, and not necessarily disagreeing, but it's hilarious to read this critique of a rap artist.

 

[NameUser]

Yeah it's all bad. I was listening to 4L by 21 Savage and he was talking about the first time her shot someone. I always wonder how the victims feel when these rappers make it? Vince Staples posted something on his Instagram about how someone he once robbed now looks up to him. All of this shit is weird and wrong honestly.

Maybe. But this smells a lot like victim blaming.

If gender roles were reversed, people wouldn't be so blasé.

 

[drog]

just more confirmation that Cardi is TRASH

 

[Blackpanther25]

Look people say all types of.shit for street cred. People will claim they robbed, sold, and stole to look cool.

 

[Sokrates]

Neeyooong.

 

[OG Kush]

Wait, so she's been rapping about heinous shit all these years but drugging is where we draw the line?

 

[Thrill_house]

Ummmm yeah thats kind of a common tactic for some working girls. Whew shit some of yall would flip if I shared some of my stories from old man and uncles/aunts doing shady shit to survive living in the projects LOL

 

[Barrel Cannon]

yoooo wtf is wrong with her m23

 

[joedick]

I don't want to 'whatabout' this, but I hope the people upset with her are also upset with Dre, Cube, Snoop, etc. It just feels like the fellas are able to get away with this more than the ladies.

Personally, I'm not going to pass judgement. On the one hand I do think it kinda sucks to profit off/glamorize these types of incidents, but on the other talking about these situations introduce some of us to the realities of their world or where they came from (moreso in the songs than their instagram posts).

You sure about that line of thinking?

Shocked she'd confess it on Insta instead of in a song

Not even defending. I’m just shocked to see that other people are shocked to see that a poor person who openly admits to to growing up in and around the criminal element might have committed crimes to make due.

Also, I may be wrong on this, but she doesn’t seem to be admitting sexual assault. She used a promise of a consensual (yet illegal) paid sex act to lure people into getting robbed.

Fucked up? Yes. But there’s no double standard at play.

okay

 

[Gobias-Ind]

These are the games we play when we go to a strip club and ask to fuck the dancers

On the spectrum of illegal shit that rappers have claimed they've done, this doesn't even register. It's only trending to try to drum up feelings of hypocrisy (oh so when a woman does it, it's ok, but when a man does it?!?!) and it'll be latched on to all this Jussie Smollet "black privilege" shit that the conservatives are doing right now.

Just chill out and listen to some of her music, imo.

 

[Nappuccino]

I have a hard time judging someone who was already in a bad situation.

 

[NameUser]

Also, I don't think she was bragging. Notice she said, "survive". It doesn't sound like something she's proud of. Although, she could've just gotten a normal job or adjusted how she was living. So she really didn't have to rob anyone.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Wow who knew hip-hop was problematic

 

[Landy828]

I don't want to 'whatabout' this, but I hope the people upset with her are also upset with Dre, Cube, Snoop, etc. It just feels like the fellas are able to get away with this more than the ladies.

Drugging, robbing, shooting, etc...people, isn't ok no matter who you are.

None of them are an "excuse" for survival either. You can "survive" without doing any of those things.

Should I return this shirt I just bought?

That’s makes sense. Especially given her new ventures.
