Cardi B and Offset receive backlash from PETA
Cardi B's SKIMS campaign for Kim Kardashian comes amid her PETA controversy. The rapper recently celebrated her birthday and Offset gifted her three new crocodile Birkin bags.
However, PETA slammed the rapper, who spent hundreds of thousands on presents for his wife, going into gruesome details about how her bags were made.
PETA Vice President Lisa Lange said in a statement, "Instead of using his wealth and influence for good, Offset chose to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars into a gruesome, violent industry that electroshocks crocodiles, shoves metal rods into their heads in an attempt to scramble their brains, and mutilates them while they’re still alive."
Cardi B slams Kim Kardashian's ex Kanye West over his leaked comment
Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West's video dishing about Cardi B's rise to fame recently went viral on social media. The rapper took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to emphasize a point made by Kanye after he blasted her talent.
According to HotNnewHipHop, Kanye spoke about Cardi B in a leaked segment from an unreleased documentary. In the viral video, Kanye ranted about Cardi B while on the phone.
Kanye said, "Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati. She doesn't write her raps, she's just there to sound as ignorant as possible... You know, she has literally replaced Nicki Minaj purposefully." He added, "They put her there, and now she doesn't know what to do, she has no idea what the f**k is going on."
Kanye concluded, "She thinks it's just a blessing from the universe. It ain't no blessing from the f*****g universe."
In response, Cardi shared an old interview in which Kanye talked about his collab with the so-called plant.
In this clip from his interview with Jason Lee on Hollywood Unlocked, Kanye seems to be praising Cardi and her outspokenness.
Kanye said, "My cousins were saying 'come by here' yesterday but I was finishing that verse for your girl, you know what I mean. Like I always believed in her."
Cardi B tagged this post and put a heart emoji to it, depicting that she has chosen to overlook their past differences. Although the rapper did not make any comment or statement about it, the heart was enough to suggest that she appreciates Kanye praising her in public.
