Cardi B recently took to Twitter Spaces to passionately defend dancehall legend Vybz Kartel against online mockery regarding his appearance following his release from prison.
Kartel, who suffers from Graves’ disease, has faced criticism for his lighter skin and health issues, which have visibly affected his appearance.
Cardi expressed her outrage, stating, “I do not play about f***ing Vybz Kartel,” and urged people to mind their own business instead of making hurtful comments.
She highlighted that Kartel’s condition is serious and reflects a broader health struggle rather than a cosmetic choice.
The rapper’s fierce support underscores the importance of compassion, especially for someone who has faced significant challenges, including solitary confinement and deteriorating health during his imprisonment.
Cardi’s remarks resonate with fans who appreciate her loyalty to Kartel, emphasizing that he deserves respect and understanding during this difficult time in his life.
As he focuses on recovery, Cardi’s defense serves as a reminder of the impact of public scrutiny on individuals dealing with health issues.
