Cardi B Denies Homophobia Accusations Following Social Media Clash with Nicki Minaj Fan.
The Bronx rap star took to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, July 23, to respond to a user who posted a video of himself spitting on her wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hollywood. The video shows the man standing next to Cardiâs lifelike statue, saying, âThey put you in the dark for a reason, bitch. Nobody likes you.â He then spat in the wax figureâs face and called it a âbitchâ before walking away. Appropriately, Nicki Minajâs hit single âStarshipsâ played in the background.
Cardi responded by questioning the manâs masculinity, writing, âBut when I say be a MAN.â When another user asked if she would keep the same energy with the well-known blogger KenBarbie, she replied, âKen doesnât act like that and can assemble an Ikea outfitâŠ. Heâs a MAN [crying face emoji].â
The âBodak Yellowâ rapper was subsequently accused of being homophobic towards Nickiâs fan, but she swiftly denied the claim. âStop with the fake homophobia narrative. Iâm not homophobic. I donât care what you like to f***, s***, and eat, but be a DAMN MAN, a grown-ass man spitting on my wax figure,â she wrote.
Despite the accusations, Cardi B has long been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ community. In 2022, she clapped back at homophobes on X, writing, âEvery bad bitch has a gay cousin⊠if youâre homophobic you just ugly.â
She also hosted a same-sex wedding with the support of former Cosby Show actress Raven-SymonĂ© for her Facebook series Cardi Tries. âYouâre probably wondering why Iâm here,â Cardi said in the episode after surprising the lesbian couple on their special day. âIâm officiating a wedding for these two beautiful ladies. This is not only a special day for you guys, but itâs a special day for me too. I want to thank you guys for letting me be a part of your beautiful journey.â
The man who spat on Cardiâs wax figure responded to her âboyâ jab by posting a photo of himself smiling next to Nicki Minajâs wax figure at Madame Tussauds. He wrote: âBe a mother, be a wife[.] Worry about me being a boy when your husband is playing with women with a stick @NICKIMINAJ Nicki better #Barbz @BarbzFeedx.â
Despite the controversy, Cardi Bâs support for the LGBTQ community remains steadfast. She continues to engage with fans and critics alike, maintaining her position as a prominent figure in both the music industry and social activism.
Cardi Bâs recent clash with a Nicki Minaj fan and subsequent accusations of homophobia have sparked widespread discussion. However, her history of supporting the LGBTQ community and standing against homophobia speaks volumes. As the feud continues to unfold, Cardi B remains a vocal advocate for inclusivity and equality.
