Cardi B is no stranger to internet trolls, but this time, she’s not letting them slide. The rapper has been hitting back at accusations that she’s been skin bleaching.

In a recent Twitter post, Cardi shared a photo of herself looking radiant and healthy. The post was flooded with compliments, but there were also a few comments accusing her of lightening her skin.

Cardi wasn’t having it. “Y’all need to chill,” she replied. “I’m just glowin’ up. I’ve been taking good care of myself and it’s showing.”

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper has been open about her journey to self-love and body positivity. She’s often spoken out against colorism and the pressure that Black women face to conform to Eurocentric beauty standards.

Cardi’s response to the skin bleaching accusations is a reminder that it’s okay for people to change their appearance for their own reasons. Whether it’s a new hairstyle, a different makeup look, or a healthier lifestyle, it’s ultimately up to the individual to decide what makes them feel good.
