'Y'all are sick': Cardi B fires back at haters over 'predator' comment after controversial Dalai Lama video

Cardi B received flak from some who argued she was the 'wrong messenger' to call out Dalai Lama, given her past confession of drugging and robbing men

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Cardi B, known for her outspokenness, has recently commented on a video that surfaced online, that shows Dalai Lama asking a young boy to apparently suck on his tongue. The video was captured during a public event where the 87-year-old spiritual leader was asked for a hug by the boy, and then he made the unusual request.

Videos of the incident showed a young boy asking the monk, "Can I hug you?" to which the 87-year-old spiritual leader asked him to come to the stage and signaled him to first kiss him on one of his cheeks. He then told the boy to kiss him on the lips by saying, "I think here also," before kissing his lips. He, however, apparently ended by stating, "And suck my tongue," as he kept his tongue out.

'This world is full of predators'

Outraged by the action, Cardi tweeted on Monday, April 10, "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. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them."

After the Dalai Lama apologized for the controversial video, Cardi B faced criticism from some who argued that she was the "wrong messenger" to call out the religious leader, given her past admission of drugging and robbing men while working as a stripper. A fan suggested that Cardi B should reconsider the way she worded her previous tweet, but the rapper did not agree. 

'Great message, wrong messenger'

After the tweet was posted, the rapper received significant backlash from various sources. One user commented, "Ever do you call drugging and robbing men? Then bragging about it on a world stage. Asking for a friend," while another mocked her by posting a picture of a sensual picture telling her to, "explain this." A third hit her with "Umm-. Great message, wrong messenger." 

'I don’t gotta watch my words'

She tweeted a reply, saying, "I don’t gotta watch my words..I know exactly wat I mean from the time you start potty training your kids you should tell them DONT LET nobody touch your privates, enter the bathroom wit you and don’t keep no secrets away from mommy …You took one word to try to make debate …DRINK YOUR COFFEE."

Cardi exposed a fan on social media who repeatedly DM'd her, while also making derogatory comments about her being a "predator" in the public comments section. She posted screenshots of the messages as proof. "B**ches be in the comments saying shot for attention……but on the DMs be like," she tweeted.

'I gotta get off the internet'

The rapper later tweeted, "I gotta get off the internet…sh*t 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."

She also took to Instagram Live to defend herself once again, stating, "So I put my tweet up and now people wanna come at me like b***h you're the wrong messenger. You rob and drug men. Listen, listen, listen, y'all not gonna keep doing this, because when it comes to weird-a** predators and rapists and pedophiles and predators and s**t,' I'm really like... I don't play that s**t. I really don't f***ing play that shit,'" she added as per Daily Mail.

She continued, "For y'all to say that I'm some predator or I'm some weird b***h because n****s wanted to buy p****y from me and a lot of y'all are like, 'These are vulnerable men, you took advantage of,' these were not no vulnerable men. These are some freak-a** N-word who like to go to the strip club, like to get drunk and after the f***ing club is closed they trying to take advantage of b****es. No N-word, I'm gonna go through them f***ing pockets," she explained.

She clarified that she did not physically assault anyone by touching their body or genitals and emphasized that robbing and raping are two distinct actions. "Don't f***ing call me no rapist, don't call me no f***ing predator, don't f***ing play with my name like that because I don't play that s**t," she added. "Because of that tweet, people are talking about, "Oh you're the wrong messenger." How am I the wrong messenger b***h? I'm the right messenger because I'm a f***ing mom," she added, before hinting at past abuse.

"I'm a f***ing mom. I'm a f***ing woman. And I'm a girl that, as a teenager, my body got abused. I don't talk about that s**t because that's another story for another time... but just the fact that, for y'all to even try me because I want y'all to protect y'all children, cause y'all need to be more careful with y'all kids, y'all f***ing sick and it makes me feel like y'all probably predators ya f***ing selves," she concluded.

'The people attacking me are just projecting'

She later took to Twitter and stated, "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 …Thank you everyone..I just have to realize the people attacking me are just projecting."
