These comments are wild… like dang… she acts like you do you… support or move. haters.” Some users condemned their fans who support their decisions, “But if this was Sexy Red or any other unapologetically black female rapper you're all mad at.

One viewer noted that at the end of the video, one of Cardi's kids asked about shopping, and she dismissed them by suggesting it was “Offset's job.” A fan confirmed the exchange, which read: “Did she just tell her daughter you're going to your dads tomorrow ask him to buy your sh*t or am I shaking [laughing emoji]. She definitely did. “
This internet backlash comes after the “Pretty & Petty” rapper temporarily bowed out of a beef with Cardi BIAreferring to not wanting to make her album release week more stressful. However, BIA said she wasn't concerned about her long-standing beef with Cardi due to her current pregnancy and her focus elsewhere.
“This isn't even about them, this is really about real artists. Like, the artists that get up and go to the studio and care about the creative and do their job and have limited resources. I'm speaking for them. This isn't even about them anymore… I would be doing myself a disservice with everything I've done on this album, making this about them. I could just go and I could have dropped something a year ago that I would have dropped a year ago. do a disservice to myself, that's what I'll say,” BIA stated in an interview.
Despite the ongoing scrutiny of Cardi B's pregnancy, she continues to defend her right to live and work on her own terms, even while expecting.
