Cardi B admits to having suicidal thoughts after heated exchange with trolls online

Cardi B was involved in a heated exchange on X on Wednesday that led to the rapper admitting that critics’ harsh comments give her suicidal thoughts

Cardi B has never been afraid to fire back against trolls online, but her last Internet spat seemed to have pushed the singer beyond her breaking point.

This week the famous rapper engaged in a heated exchange with critics on X, formerly Twitter, after they insulted her work ethic leading the singer to admit to experiencing suicidal thoughts. The interaction began when one user told Cardi she was “the only Mexican I know that don’t work hard.” The singer didn’t take kindly to the comment and angrily responded: “Hope you and ur mom die.”

Another person then bashed Cardi for wishing death on another and told her that karma would “come back on you.” To which Cardi replied: “IDGAF F**k y’all … y’all can call me Mexican, bring me down and hurt my feelings talk s**t about everything that’s why I don’t release music.” And added: “I just want to put a bullet in my head.”

Cardi B – legally known as Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus – remarked that her ethnicity is not Mexican during the exchange and has previously identified herself as Afro-Latina. The Bronx-native’s father Carlos is Dominican and her mother Clara is a Trinidadian of African and Spanish descent.
