Cardi B, known for her unfiltered and bold personality, recently found herself in the middle of a social media storm after being accused of bleaching her skin.
The speculation began when a photo of the rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, surfaced online, showing her with a noticeably lighter complexion. Fans and critics alike were quick to question whether the change was due to skin bleaching, despite her being pregnant.
The rumors reached their peak when a user on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) reposted the photo and questioned if Cardi had been engaging in skin-bleaching practices. This accusation didn’t sit well with Cardi, who was quick to respond in her signature no-nonsense style.
“Bleaching while pregnant? Why must y’all be so dumb?” Cardi B fired back, leaving no room for doubt about her stance on the matter. Her blunt response quickly gained traction online, with many of her fans rallying behind her.

Cardi B didn’t stop at just addressing the rumors; she took the opportunity to educate her followers about the real reason behind her changing skin tone.
The rapper revealed that she is slightly anemic, a common condition during pregnancy that results from a deficiency in iron. This condition can lead to pale skin, sunken eyes, and a general sense of fatigue. In her case, the anemia, combined with the physical demands of her pregnancy, has caused her skin to appear lighter than usual.
“I’m pregnant, I’m slightly anemic, this baby suckin’ all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale, eyes sunken, veins green ASF, can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy,” Cardi explained. Her candid admission highlighted the physical toll that pregnancy can take on a woman’s body, and how it can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, especially in the public eye.

To make sure her message was clear, Cardi concluded her statement with a final, emphatic plea: “Please stop thinkin’ with your a**hole!” Her words resonated with many, reminding her followers that jumping to conclusions based on appearance can often be misleading and unfair.
Cardi B’s latest pregnancy, which she announced earlier this month on Instagram, has been a topic of much discussion. The 31-year-old artist, already a mother to daughter Kulture and son Wave, shared the news with her fans by posting a series of photos showing off her growing baby bump.
In one of the images, she is seen cradling her belly in a red dress, standing against the stunning backdrop of the New York City skyline.
The announcement also came amidst reports that Cardi had filed for divorce from her husband, Offset, for the second time. However, in her Instagram post, she hinted at the possibility of reconciliation, writing, “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!”
As Cardi B continues to navigate the challenges of pregnancy while being in the spotlight, her response to the skin-bleaching accusations serves as a reminder of her resilience and her refusal to let baseless rumors dictate her narrative. With her third child on the way and a steadfast commitment to her family, it’s clear that Cardi B is focused on what truly matters, leaving the noise of social media far behind.
