Cardi B hits back at social media trolls
The 32-year-old rap star took to X to hit back at online trolls, after spotting edited photographs of herself on the micro-blogging platform.
Alongside an unedited video of herself, Cardi wrote: "Am I really that bad of a b**** that y'all always gotta edit my pictures to fake try to humble me wit insults on this app? Anyways no filter, no makeup, just me and this wig I had on for days. THANK YOU!! (sic)"
In response, one X user said: "my god she reeks of insecurity like it's getting sad (sic)"
However, Cardi refused to back down, insisting that she's not insecure at all about her looks.
The chart-topping rap star - who worked as a stripper before finding success in the music business - wrote: "I'm insecure or do I make yall insecure to the point that you gotta go pull up my pictures then open a app and edit them because yall can't stand how hard I step??? (sic)"
Cardi subsequently retweeted a post that suggested her name is used for "engagement" on social media.
The post read: "everybody using cardi's name for engagement chile [yawning emoji] (sic)"
Although Cardi is one of the best-selling artists in the world, the rap star previously claimed that she was actually happier before she found fame.
The 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker doesn't have any money worries these days, but she's less happy than she used to be.
Cardi - who has Kulture, six, Wave, three, and a daughter, whose name has not been revealed, born in September - told CR Fashion Book magazine: "One positive thing is that, my family, whatever they want, they get. Everything that I want to buy, I can get. I don't have to worry so much about my future.
"One negative thing is that, even though I'm happy, I feel like I was a little bit happier two or three years ago when I had less money."
What's more, Cardi feels as though she's lost some control over her own life.
She said: "I had less people who had opinions about my life. I felt like my life was mine.
"Now I feel like I don't even own my life. I feel like the world owns me."

Cardi B, a crow and the Americans taking over Paris Fashion Week
A warm 'howdy' is becoming more appropriate than a breathy 'bonjour' backstage at Paris Fashion Week. On day one, Americans are already the flavour of the autumn/winter 2026 haute couture season at two leading fashion houses, leaving the acquired taste of French designers in short supply. The week dedicated to clothes for the rich, where gowns can cost anywhere between $77,000 and $1,230,000, began with a collection brimming with historical references from US designer Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli. Who is buying the matador suits and gowns with jutting hips and shoulders? Lauren Sanchez wore a gold corset dress from Schiaparelli as part of her pre-wedding festivities with Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos. The dress, with floral hand embroidery, was estimated to have cost $US100,000 ($154,000). Roseberry has risen to the top of the Parisienne ranks by embracing the drama of the label, founded by Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1927, which gained fame for its surrealist touches. In 2023, Roseberry gave us Kylie Jenner wearing a realistic lion's head in the front row, yesterday it was Cardi B arriving cocooned in a black velvet gown with pearl fringing, an exaggerated U-neckline and a crow on a leash. Cardi B asked the paparazzi to be quiet, to not scare the bird. Pop singer Dua Lipa, in a white gown with paillettes and a keyhole cut-out endured the photographers screams, arriving without a bird, or even a key. The highlight of the Schiaparelli show was a dress with a faux décolletage on the back and a beating red diamanté heart. It's unlikely to inspire any Zara dresses but could turn up at Lauren Sanchez-Bezos's Valentine's Day celebrations. Groundwork for the US invasion began the day before the Schiaparelli show, with Washington DC-born designer Michael Rider debuting as creative director at Celine. Having worked at the French fashion house in the past, with stints at Balenciaga and Ralph Lauren, Rider's ready-to-wear show was a confident presentation of early 80s silhouettes with roomy red leather jackets, skinny jeans and suits with broad shoulders and nipped waists.

Cardi B: I'm always in some drama
Cardi B is "always in some drama". The 32-year-old rap star is set to release her long-awaited new album, Am I the Drama?, later this year, and Cardi has revealed the inspiration behind her album title. Asked if the album name was a reference to Scarlet Envy's quote from RuPaul's Drag Race, Cardi told People: "It's just actually a mood that I feel because I feel like I'm always in some drama, and I don't understand why I'm always in some drama. "It's like, 'Damn, am I the drama? Is it me? Like, what? Why am I always in some s***? But I do know she said it on Drag Race and it's like, 'Well s***, great minds think alike.' "She said it before me, and I'm gonna give her, always, the props. I always give people props, and I love her, and I'm gonna be working with her more often. And, like, look who ended up winning Drag Race at the end?" Cardi released her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, in April 2018, and the chart-topping star thinks she's "evolved" a lot since then. Cardi - who split from her husband Offset in 2023 - said: "I dealt with a lot for seven years. It has been a journey, and I have evolved as a person and as an artist, and I cannot wait for you guys to hear that." Cardi is one of the best-selling artists in the world, but she previously claimed to have been happier before she found fame. The Bodak Yellow hitmaker doesn't have any money worries these days, but she's less happy than she used to be. Cardi - who has Kulture, six, Wave, three, and a daughter, whose name has not been revealed, born in September - told CR Fashion Book magazine: "One positive thing is that, my family, whatever they want, they get. Everything that I want to buy, I can get. I don't have to worry so much about my future.
