The question was in response to a comment on a previous post from Cardi in which former City Girls MC JT was shown cradling the rapper’s growing bump; Cardi recently announced that she’s expecting her third child with estranged husband Offset, who she has filed for divorce from for the second time.

“Bleaching while pregnant? [three sad face emoji] Why must yall be so dumb ?,” Cardi responded. “Actually NO ! 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 ….PLEAE STOP THINKIN WITH YOUR A–HOLE!”

According to the American Society of Hematology, anemia is a condition that may occur during pregnancy when the body does not produce enough blood cells. Women who are pregnant are at higher risk for the condition because their blood volume goes up and their body needs more iron to supply oxygen to the fetus. Among the potential symptoms of anemia are feeling tired or weak and a progressive paleness of the skin.

Even while swatting away the haters, Cardi also got a nice compliment from another X user, who praised the pic with JT, writing, “This is a beautiful picture @iamcardib. You have to really #trust and #genuinely care about someone to allow them to touch you and your child this way. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you post and label pictures of #real #friends,” they added about the pic that Cardi captioned “What about your friends.”

Cardi and JT got into a heated feud in 2022 in which the women went back-and-forth with some vicious insults in a squabble that eventually pulled Nicki Minaj into the fray as well. But based on the friendly caption Cardi put on the baby bump pic, it seems as if the JT drama has been squashed.

In other good news, Cardi recently revealed that she recently completed the cover shoot for her long-in-the-works sophomore album, though at press time there was still not title or announced release date for the follow-up to her 2018 debut album, Invasion of Privacy.
