Cardi B is back on social media, Bardi Gang! The superstar rapper returned to Twitter and Instagram Wednesday morning (April 13) after deactivating her accounts on April 3.
As of early Wednesday afternoon, Cardi hadn’t posted anything to her Instagram account. Her last post was on April 1. On Twitter, however, she retweeted a video from TikTok user Kaylin Lance (@heyitzkaylinn) featuring the young woman dancing in pajamas in her bathroom to Kay Flock’s “Shake It,” a song that features Cardi, Dougie B, and Bory300.
Cardi decided to take a break from social media 10 days ago when she got upset with her fans making a big deal about her not attending the Grammy Awards on April 3. “I’m deleting my Twitter, but on god, I hate this fuckin dumbass fan base,” she tweeted. “You got the slow dumbasses dragging my kids all cause y’all [thought] I was going to the grammys and I didnt the fuck ? When the fuck I hinted I was going ? just fuvkin stupid I can’t I needs to protect myself.”
She also tweeted to a fan that she wished his mother would die after he complained that she hasn’t dropped any new music. Another fan replied and asked if she “kissed her [autistic] kid with that mouth?” to which she said, “None of my kids are autistic… don’t project [what] you got on my kids.”
Later, she posted on her Instagram Live about her decision to delete Twitter: “I’m going through my Twitter, and I see people in my Twitter – my fans, my own fucking fans – talking shit like, ‘Oh,’ she said. “Practically saying that I’m lazy, and that I was giving hints that I was going to the Grammys.”
As Remezcla previously reported, Cardi B has deleted her social media in 2018, 2019 (which only lasted two days), and again in 2020 after she felt like her fans were trying to “control” her life.
It’s important to note that ableist language is not ok in any way, shape, or form. It’s also not ok to wish ill will or death on someone or their loved ones. We understand that tensions were high but even then…respect is always needed, especially in hard situations like this.
