Cardi B is a widely loved female rapper. She is dating abusive rapper Offset but preaches a feminist agenda. She is famously known for challenging rival Nicki Minaj and losing, considering Minaj’s fame and respect. It is not a question that most of Cardi B’s fans are women. Cardi B has stolen the hearts of many women but the wallets of many men.

Cardi B has been excused over the years from a number of unhonorable actions and words. She has spoken using homophobic and transphobic rhetoric in the past, which could be forgiven, as people can grow over time. But she has done worse as time has gone on. She defended Offset in late 2018 over homophobic lyrics and claimed the controversy over her homophobic and transphobic conversations were “at fault of a former team member.” She attacked Minaj, but the black female rap scene is in need of idols that women can look up to. Cardi B has not been as positive a role model as some think.

Cardi B has recently been exposed for drugging and robbing men she met in clubs while working as a stripper. She admitted to this. This is unacceptable.

Any man after admitting to this would be disregarded and refuted immensely. Most men are “canceled” and demonized after a single allegation of drugging, raping, robbing or abusing. This is how it should be – victims being listened to. So why are Cardi B’s victims not being listened to? Cardi B drugged and robbed men “for a living.” She was being hailed as a hero for it, by women. The women hailing her are “amazed by her strength” and “admire her.” Women who drug and rob men should not be hailed and praised. Cardi B claiming she was broke is not an OK response to her actions. 

The media is trying to compare Cardi B’s actions to Bill Cosby’s, which is not fair nor reasonable. Cardi B did not rape anyone. Bill Cosby did, along with a number of others. Cosby ruined lives without a doubt or comeback. No one comes back the same from rape. Cardi B robbed men, which is inexcusable, but money can be taken back and earned. Sanity and sexuality cannot be. Cardi B robbed men of possession. Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and others robbed women (and men) of their innocence and sanity. 

Cardi B’s actions were not OK in any way. Cardi B ruined lives. Cardi B hurt men and ruined them. Cosby raped women and ruined their lives and sanity. Neither person was right nor reasonable. Both ruined lives. Cardi B did not take men’s sexuality and innocence for granted, and Cosby did exactly that of the women he met. Both are to be refuted greatly, and Cardi B should not be let off so easily.
