@BelovedBone @realJNolan It was definitely the political environment that had them doing that. Every company bent the knee. That's why the longest running number one hasn't been heard by anyone.

@ImInExcelsis @NeeValentin3 Here’s another clip of her defending yet another dark skin woman when people felt she should’ve won the award instead. PS: Cardi used to call herself a roach, but y’all take it out of context to fit your narrative whenever she defends herself… but then there’s me debunking 🤣😍

The community mocked Gabby while Cardi defended her, & attacked Doechii while Cardi celebrated her? Used her voice when the community stayed silent. We don’t let Cardi get away with anything; we just don’t forget. Colorism exists, but 5% won’t erase 95% of her hard work. NEXT!

After looking into the full context of this Cardi B and Mona situation, my stance on colorism hasn't changed. Two things can be true: Cardi is hardworking, deserving of her success, AND can benefit from colorism.

However, knowing this ENTIRE discourse originated because of a TikTok influencer back in 2024 is insane.

It started when Essence covered this influencers birthday trip, prompting him to question why the publication would cover him without offering sponsorship opportunities.

When people criticized his confrontational personality and suggested it affected his marketability, he brought Cardi B into the conversation. Unprovoked!

He described Cardi as "ghetto," "gangster," and "greasy," arguing that she could behave similarly and still secure major brand deals because of her lighter complexion.

Mind you, we're talking about a TikTok influencer comparing himself to an internationally successful, Grammy winning musician.

Naturally, Cardi defended herself, because why the fuck am I in it? This has nothing to do with me. This is between you, your birthday and Essence! On top of the fact this influencer is a stan of that other lady.

Cardi then explained that she's spent her career being ridiculed for her accent, appearance, upbringing, and past as a stripper.

There was an entire back and forth on Twitter, and even Ice Spice chimed in after being mentioned, and got bopped upside her head by Cardi.

Now, fast forward TWO WHOLE YEARS.

An old livestream clip resurfaces in which Cardi actually acknowledges benefiting from colorism but explains that it doesn't erase the discrimination she's faced or the work she's put into her career.

Somehow, Mona saw that clip, responds by going live to challenge Cardi on the very privilege she had already acknowledged.

And that's where my perspective shifted. Not only is this conversation TWO YEARS OLD, but Mona had reportedly been in Cardi's DMs asking for favors before publicly criticizing her. I don't know the full extent of their private conversations, but I can understand why Cardi would question the timing.

Especially when she had already acknowledged Mona's broader point.

And if Mona wanted to discuss colorism, she could've used herself as an example, considering she's also acknowledged benefiting from it.

So yes, I understand why Cardi feels singled out.

She's literally defending herself in that 2024 clip from a stan, who decided to use her as an example, unprovoked because he wasn't getting brand deals and Mona decided to react to it in 2026, telling Cardi she's wrong for feeling like she does.

HUH??? I'm wrong for defending myself???

All in all, my position hasn't changed, but my understanding of her frustration has evolved.

Colorism is real. Darker skinned women have historically faced unequal standards in entertainment, and we absolutely should discuss those disparities.

But Cardi didn't create those inequalities, and acknowledging her advantages shouldn't require dismissing her accomplishments, overlooking the discrimination she's experienced, or repeatedly making her the face of an industry wide problem.

That's not fair to her.

[Deevaray @Deevaray_yass]

@DonBlaze_ @RShye @winterzera_ That was an edited clip from 2024. Cardi said in that live that she knows she benefits from colorism but she also works hard and knows how to market herself.
