Cardi B made it clear she "doesn't play" when it comes to dancehall legend Vybz Kartel, seemingly addressing people mocking his lighter skin tone. Known for her strong opinions, Cardi recently went on a mini rant during a Twitter Spaces session, likely in response to comments about Kartel’s appearance following his release from prison. While she didn’t directly mention this issue, it’s easy to connect the dots given the online chatter about the dancehall icon. Regardless, Cardi is not here for any slander against him.


"I do not play about f***ing Vybz Kartel," Cardi B's rant about the haters began. "When I see y'all f***ing Americans... No offense, no offense. I mean, I'm American, but when I see y'all talking about f***ing Vybz Kartel, I be getting upset 'cause, like, not too much. Not too f***ing much. Mind your f***ing business. I do not play about f***ing Vybz Kartel, b***h. At all. At all. I do not, I do not, I do not."

In addition to her defense of Kartel, Cardi B also shared some exciting news about her upcoming album. Although details are still under wraps, she recently revealed that she’s finished taking the photos for the album cover and is now deciding on the final image. Fans can likely expect some alternate covers to pop up as well.


Meanwhile, as Cardi hinted, Vybz Kartel is focused on more important matters than online chatter. He’s been sharing his recovery process from Graves’ disease with fans, offering them a glimpse into his health journey. It’s clear that at least one rap superstar is firmly in his corner, ready to defend him no matter what.
