Yesterday (April 10th), Cardi B took to social media to discuss the controversial viral video of the Dalai Lama. Cardi tweeted, “This world is full of predators. They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people wit money, power & our churches.”
Cardi advised parents on how to protect their children, writing, “Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them.”
After receiving some backlash, Cardi tweeted, “I put the tweet up, and now people wanna come at me like, ‘Oh b*tch, you’re the wrong messenger, didn’t you rob and drug men?’ And it’s like listen, listen: y’all not gonna keep doing this. Because when it comes to weird a** predators, and rapists, and pedophiles and sh*t, I’m really—I don’t play that sh*t. I really don’t f*cking play that sh*t.”
She continued, “I’m the right messenger, because I’m a f*cking mom. And I’m a f*cking woman. And I’m a girl that, as a teenager, my body got abused.”
She added, “I gotta get off the internet…shit is insane !!! I’m getting dragged up and down because I’m telling parents to be careful on people that prey on children…it’s craziness. … Wow all this support I’m getting at the same time is beautiful. It was deep in my heart to talk about this cause me & my friend was talkin last night & then the dalai lama thing happen this morning.”
