After a video surfaced of Cardi B admitting to robbing and
drugging men, the singer is explaining herself.
In the clip from an Instagram Live recorded three years ago, the
rapper said, �I had to go strip, I had to go, �Oh yeah, you want
to f�k me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, let�s go back to this hotel,� and I
drugged n��s up, and I robbed them. That�s what I used to do,�
(via Hip Hop Ratchet) she explained.
After horrified social media users responded to the 26-year-old
star�s confession with the hashtag #SurvivingCardiB (in
reference to the R. Kelly documentary �Surviving R. Kelly�)
Cardi took to Instagram to explain her actions.
�So I�m seeing on social media that [an Instagram] live I did 3
years ago has popped back up. A live where I talked about things
I had to do in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do
to make a living,� she wrote in a post on Tuesday. �I never
claim (sic) to be perfect or come from a perfect world wit (sic)
a perfect past I always speak my truth I always own my s�t.�
The star said that while many artists glorify violence and
crime, that was never her style.
�There are rappers that glorify murder violence drugs an (sic)
robbing. Crimes they feel they had to do to survive,� she said.
�I never glorified the things I brought up in that live I never
even put those things in my music because I�m not proud of it
and feel responsibility not to glorify it.�
While the former stripper said she was not proud of her actions,
she felt they were necessary at the time.
�I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very
limited options. I was blessed to have been able to rise from
that but so many women have not,� she said. �Whether or not they
were poor choices at the time I did what I had to do to survive.�
And the Bronx native clarified that all the men she referred to
in the clip were men who she was dating and she claims they knew
what she was doing.
�The men I spoke about in my life were men that I dated that I
was involved with men that [they] were conscious willing and
aware,� she said. �I have a past that I can�t change we all do.�
She continued, �all I can do now is be a better me for myself my
family and my future.�
Cardi is married to rapper Offset, with whom she shares 8-month-
old daughter, Kulture.
