Cardi B grew up in New York and has been through the trenches with the troubled areas of the city. She has come out on social media to inform people of her upbringing who want to make comparisons to her and the controversial DaniLeigh who has offended some people with her single “light skin baddies”.
It seems some want to throw Cardi B under the same bus with her despite Cardi B having Dominican heritage unlike DaniLeigh.
“This whole argument and me bringing up my family tree is because for the last 4 days ya been comparing to some1 I don’t look like at all because we have the same nationality,” wrote Cardi. “Nationality is not a color or a race.” She added, “Ya really sit here in comments arguing and don’t be makin no sense .My grandmother fully Afri Caribbean black .My grandfather was light ( my complexion) that’s why my mom is light and sunshine of her siblings are brown .AFRO CARRIBEAN EXIST !”
Cardi went on to share family photos and addressed fans who tweeted her about why she felt the need to speak up about her heritage. “Every 6 months I gotta explain myself cause people can’t research,” she told one Twitter user. Check out the photos and responses below.
