Cardi B has fiercely responded to accusations of skin bleaching during her pregnancy. After sharing a photo on X showing a friend cradling her baby bump, a troll questioned whether the rapper had been bleaching her skin. Cardi quickly dismissed the claim, writing, "Bleaching while pregnant? Why must yall be so dumb? Actually NO!"

She explained her pale appearance, attributing it to anemia and other pregnancy symptoms. "I'm pregnant, slightly anemic, this baby is draining my energy," Cardi shared, adding that she gets dizzy from heat and can't tan.

Supporters rushed to her defense, with one fan stating, "They can't even respect women while they're pregnant. Gross af."
