JUST IN: Cardi B Praises Beyoncé’s Approach to Drama, Reflects on How She Handles Haters
Cardi B is well-known for her fearless clap-backs at online critics and controversies, but recently, she revealed her admiration for Beyoncé’s contrasting approach: ignoring the noise entirely. In a recent interview on The Spout podcast, Cardi shared how Beyoncé’s decision to avoid public drama has inspired her to handle certain situations differently.
Cardi explained, “Surprisingly, I have held myself back a lot — from a lot of things. You see how Beyoncé addresses her things? She does not address them at all.” The rapper noted that Beyoncé’s quiet confidence and self-restraint have made her rethink when and if she should respond to negativity.
For Cardi, deciding whether to engage with critics is a matter of mental health and self-expression. She admires how Beyoncé’s silence might contribute to her well-being but also values the benefits of speaking out. “I feel like every artist should do what works for them and what’s good for their mental health because I feel like if addressing things, to Beyoncé, affects her mental health, then don’t do it,” Cardi said.
Despite being inspired by Queen Bey, Cardi admits she often prefers a more outspoken approach. “I’d rather just let it out,” she told host Tamra Dhia. “So, I feel like everybody should, like, address their issues however they feel like they’re going to be comfortable in doing. That’s how I feel. Everybody is different.”
Cardi believes that no matter what approach a person takes—whether they’re calm and collected or outspoken and fiery—critics will always find something to say. She reflected, “Some people claim they have problems with me because I address everything or because I’m too problematic. Somebody might call me a name, and I’m gonna call you a harsher name, so people are gonna say that I’m problematic, or I’m mean or always finding negative things and addressing it.”
The rapper also highlighted how even individuals who radiate positivity, like Chloe Bailey, still face unwarranted backlash. “People still give her a hard time. People are gonna just always find something to say,” Cardi explained.
For Cardi, everyone should address negativity in whatever way brings them peace. “If you want to cuss somebody out today because it’s gonna make you feel better, then do it,” she advised. “If you don’t wanna address these people, and it’s like, ‘You a peasant to me,’ then do that. Whatever makes you feel good.”
Ultimately, Cardi B acknowledges that while her style may be different from Beyoncé’s, the Queen’s influence has impacted how she approaches her public image and the way she copes with negativity. The rapper’s perspective is a reminder that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with haters, and every individual—artist or not—should handle things in a way that best serves their own mental health.
JUST IN: Cardi B Breaks Silence to Send a Strong Message to Fans Amid Cancelled MusicFet Appearance Due to Medical Emergency
Cardi B recently addressed her fans on social media, revealing that she had to cancel her scheduled performance at ONE MusicFest due to a medical emergency that has kept her hospitalized. The rapper, 32, shared the news after spending several days in the hospital since October 19 but did not disclose specific details regarding her health condition.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Cardi expressed her regret:
“I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won’t be able to perform at ONE MusicFest. It breaks my heart that I won’t get to see my fans this weekend, and I really wish I could be there. Bardi Gang – thank you for understanding, and I’ll be back better and stronger soon. Don’t worry. Love y’all. – Cardi ❤️”
Social Media Rant Against Offset
The update on her health comes amid ongoing turmoil in Cardi’s personal life. Hours before sharing the hospital news, Cardi had posted an emotional and explicit rant on X (formerly Twitter), directed at her estranged husband, Offset. The posts, later deleted, expressed anger and frustration, with Cardi calling Offset a “garbage bag” and “a dirty narcissistic piece of s**t.”
According to Hollywood Unlocked, Cardi’s now-deleted tweets did not mince words. Cardi, who recently gave birth to her and Offset’s third child just seven weeks ago, clarified that she didn’t wish him death but hoped he would get “hit by a f****n truck.” She also mentioned how strongly she felt against him, even calling him a “dark cloud” in the lives of those around him.
Cardi and Offset’s Tumultuous Relationship
This recent outburst adds another chapter to the long, rocky history between Cardi and Offset, whose on-and-off relationship has kept fans captivated for years. The pair, who share daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 3, have been publicly open about their ups and downs.
Their marriage began in September 2017, but trouble followed soon after with a split in 2018 amid rumors of Offset’s infidelity. Cardi filed for divorce in 2020, only to reconcile months later. They have continued to face challenges, with the most recent issue arising when Offset allegedly accused Cardi of infidelity, which she denied.
Cardi’s Plans to Sue Over CPS Prank Call
Earlier this week, Cardi shared during an Instagram Live session from the hospital that she intends to pursue legal action against a prankster who called Child Protective Services (CPS) on her, falsely claiming her children were being abused. Cardi has been vocal about her outrage over the incident and plans to sue to prevent future similar incidents. In her rant, she confirmed that the CPS issue was unrelated to Offset.
Despite their current differences, Cardi responded to fan criticism, acknowledging that Offset is the father of her children and clarifying that her frustrations do not extend to wishing him any harm beyond her anger. Cardi also stated that she and Offset no longer live together, emphasizing the boundaries she has set amid their current separation.
Cardi’s Message to Fans
Although the cancelation disappointed fans, Cardi’s message reflected her commitment to coming back stronger. She emphasized her gratitude toward her loyal supporters and promised to return to the stage soon.
This period of Cardi’s life reflects a complex balance of career demands, health challenges, and personal struggles, which she continues to navigate with characteristic openness. Fans are hopeful that her recovery will be swift and that she’ll soon bring her energy back to the stage, proving her resilience once more.
