Cardi B mocks body-shaming trolls by gorging on pancakes
Cardi B has mocked body-shaming trolls by videoing herself gorging on a plate of pancakes.
The 31-year-old ‘WAP’ rapper – born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – has repeatedly been targeted by keyboard warriors after undergoing plastic surgery to enlarge her bum and breasts, and has admitted to getting liposuction and other procedures.
She responded to a new wave of attacks following her performance in Las Vegas at the weekend by sarcastically joking in her online pancake-eating video: “I’m getting body-shamed. I’m so sad.”
Cardi added as she pretended to cry: “Everybody saying that I look fat and that my a** is so fat.”
Her video also showed her spraying whipped cream on three golden-brown flapjacks as she continued to eat.
And when she took huge bites of her syrupy breakfast and licked her lips, she added: “Everybody hates me.”
Her fans filled the comments section of her post with praise for the performer, calling her everything from “a mood” to a “Queen”.
But others stressed she was being trolled not for her weight but over her “botched” plastic surgery, which some said looked “crazy”.
Cardi’s appearance caused a stir when she performed at Drai’s nightclub in Vegas on Saturday (25.05.24) as she wore a tight leopard-print catsuit that showed off her curves.
Cardi has said she does not care about the brutal trolling she endures over her decision to go under the knife.
She said on Instagram in 2019: “(People tell me), ‘You lazy, you should just work out (instead of getting surgery.)’
“I do whatever the f*** I want to do with my body. I don’t have the time of day like you do.
“Like, my job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro. So no, I don’t have time to work out, and I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out (will) not get fixed.”
