How is this any different from rap music that promotes drug selling and murder? Seems like a "gotcha" moment simply because she is a woman rather than any real concern.

A victim has already come forward; I'm genuinely curious why people are sticking up for this woman.

She's not your 'Queen'

She's a fucking predator.
She's not my queen, and I'm not defending her. I don't even think I could name a Cardi B song, or pick her out of a lineup of other pop stars. I'm just saying I'll err on the side of innocent til proven guilty, but really, since she admitted it, all it would take is for charges to be pressed for me to assume that she did this and that she should go to jail and her career should be over.

"Other people have been human garbage before, so that excuses me from the consequences of my words and actions."
making up stories about having committed crimes in order to promote your music and movies is bad, because it promotes toxic ideals. still, i don't think cardi b and other rappers doing that quite make them human garbage. i feel like the term "human garbage" should be reserved for people who do worse things than make up toxic fake stories about themselves

Wtf, I just read some of the responses in this thread being defensive of her actions
Those are the stuff you keep to yourself and she just blurted it out like it was nothing even with the current climate we have.
So all the heat she is getting, she deserves it.

i'll wait for a more reputable press outlet than lfrsolutions.com before i start listening

this is not exactly new york times and the new yorker
I’d be more worried about the source of the claims if she hadn’t already ADMITTED SHE DID IT!!!

So she claims she did it, a guy claims she did it and you’re out here denying she did it.

And I’m the one that needs to use my “critical thinking skills”

yep, people are shook and clutching their pearls because this time it's a woman making up a history of fake crimes to promote her brand rather than a man making up a history of fake crimes to promote their brand. it is indeed a double standard

What the fuck are you on about. She said she did it, and now a victim has come forward and said she did it to him. Stop shouting FAKE NEWS like you have any idea what happened.

Either show some receipts of people supposedly having these double standards or stop peddling your bullshit.

It isn't fake new but it confirmed either. It is still developing and the guy who came forward needs to be heard. Making a claim doesn't mean it happened.

The Shade Borough is a fake news site that typically focuses on news from "up and coming" social media people in Chicago (?) and is not the Shade Room. They already deleted the post but the guy from the pic is still in their mentions on Twitter laughing about his pic being used.

Edit: Unless you are talking about the other guy who claims he wired Cardi B $500 some years ago on a media website and asked her to promote his new album and never heard anything from her or her team.

You should share these receipts you have with Cardi, because even she seems to think she did these things.

Because her victims are coming forward?

Most rap is fiction and very rarely do victims come forward. When they do, said artists get raked over the coals. If this was a male rapper that boasted about drugging women and *actual* women started coming forward saying he did it to them, do you think the response should be any different than the disgust we see here? Does she get a pass because she's a woman or because the alleged victim won't press charges? Do we still believe victims or not? Especially when she *admitted* doing it to men?

If what she says is true, she should be in jail.

Reaction in this thread and media would be wayyy different if this was a guy admitting to drugging, raping and robbing women. And rightfully so. It's disgusting really

Where did she say she raped anyone? I don't think she said that at all. At least not in the initial statement this threadis about.

Almost every rapper in the US has claimed they've robbed people.

None of it is a good thing; but why so much focus on Cardi? That is worth wondering about; it was odd.

Her further statements about having someone rape an ex or whatever are fucking disgusting and go way past a line where you can compare it to other rappers. Not even sure WTF to say, she's disgusting.

i'll immediately cop to being wrong once the stories from victims reach reputable press

the outlet that posted this story seems trashier than even the daily mail
Not sure why these types of posts are ok given that she's on video admitting to intentionally getting someone intoxicated enough to coerce them into a sexual encounter for revenge, which is, well... rape

And lmao at "i'll immediately cop to being wrong"

Anyone who said this in response to a victim coming forward:
seriously though, y'all're taking this seriously?

y'all're gullible as fuck. honestly, i could probably drug and rob you in my sleep if i wanted to with this level of extreme gullibility
Would be (rightfully) copping a permanent ban

You're a dumbass bro

I hope all the puritans here that are condemning what Cardi did, don't enjoy any rappers that rap about their life on the streets.

I'm not saying what she did was right but, its a totally different life than what you can possibly imagine.

to get people talking

that's it

create buzz for her upcoming movie


She's been getting into feuds with bloggers (The Shaderoom etc) and I think she's even planning on suing one of them that's why these very old instagram live streams are getting brought up.

This is not promo. I'm all for critically looking at dumb shit celebs do for promo but there's a lot of context you're missing

Do you understand the difference between song lyrics and...real life?

Like if Stephen King wrote a book about someone getting drugged and robbed, do you think it would be received the same was as if he admitted to doing it himself in an interview?

I’ve learned from some in this thread that not everything Cosby did was bad. He should have robbed those women instead, then we would have just shrugged it off.

Don't most rappers brag about comiting all kinds of crimes in their past? Some in their present?

Why is Cardi doing it such a big deal?
This is where I'm at. I'm really struggling to treat this any differently from all the other illicit shit I've heard from rappers. This is no different than a rapper talking about robbing people at gunpoint, pumping hard drugs on block, or a myriad of other illegal shit. This falls under the umbrella of "gangsta" stuff to me, which has never been positive or moral.

Is there a clip saying she drugged and then slept with guys? The one I’ve seen she’s stating she drugged and ROBBED them.

I’m in no way condoning this behavior, but people must live very sheltered lives to not know disgusting shit happens like this in impoverished areas or “the hood.” I read this headline and I wasn’t shocked in the least.

There’s nothing shocking about what she said, you hear stories like these all the time. Not giving her a pass or accepting this behavior but this is nothing new.

I’ve heard stories of pro gold diggers doing way worse.

Yo, some of these responses are actually fucked up.

Clownshoes thread of the year so far. From the straight up victim blaming, to the persistent Strawman of "Yall must be sheltered if you are surprised that bad things happen in bad places" that no one actually said. Just terrible all around. Preserve this one in amber and just throw it into the depths.

Notice how you just threw in raping to make this worse.
Notice how one of the victims is claiming she raped him while he was unconscious. And notice the collosal number of L's her defenders keep taking in this thread.

Yeah it's all shitty; I'm not condoning it whatsoever. Just wondering why this claim became such an internet sensation compared to the endless array of worse shit rappers say every day. I imagine it has something to do with her "War" with Nicki, the fans of these more pop oriented stars are relentless.

Not really complaining she should get called out for it. True or not it's disgusting; as I said earlier this type of thing being common is one reason to legalize the sex trade (and to protect the workers of course.)

The entire thing is concern trolling. For MRAs and hoteps, it's the most significant thing to happen in their lives so far this year.
