‘My thighs match now’: Cardi B addresses weight critics
A drawback to any horrible
buttock augmentation job is the never-ending comparison to drumsticks and
lollipops when the butt-to-thigh ratio is noticeably off. Kim Kardashian,
though never confirming rumours of having done such procedure, has been the
ultimate victim of these roasts, likewise Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. Thanks to
quarantine (and the live entertainment scene being on a standstill due to the
coronavirus), Cardi B is no longer a part of that club. The Money Bag rapper has gained some weight
over the past few months while indoors, and she recently took to her Instagram
stories to show it off.
“I gained a little weight but
guess what?” the rapper asked. “The thighs match now, right?!?”
Serving different angles before a
full body mirror in her closet, Cardi sought to use video as evidence that she
has not been Photoshopping her latest photos. Images of the star looking
thicker than usual have been circling the web, and Cardi was not afraid to show
fans and critics what she currently looks like.
“Y’all think I’m editing my body?
Just ask me for a f**king video, that’s simple,” she said. “I gained a little
fat, I gained a little weight but you know…it’s all good…”
She added that her husband, rapper
Offset, “like it like that.”

The quarantine period has also
allowed Cardi to work on her sophomore album, which she is hoping to complete
in Miami this summer. Her debut album, Invasion
of Privacy, soared to the top of the Billboard 200 chart in 2018, and
earned the Grammy award for the best rap album the following year.
