"How do you expect women to heal over a heartbreak?" — Cardi B defends partying after breakup and childbirth following backlash

On Sunday, December 1, Cardi B took to Twitter Spaces and defended herself after being scrutinized for partying post her breakup and childbirth. Many have recently bashed her for apparently being an irresponsible mother for going out so much.

On Spaces, she said:

"I’m not being a h*e because after I leave the club, I take this wet a*s p**** to my f*cking bed with no d*ck to give it to. After you have a breakup, you have to just live a little bit."

The rapper further revealed that she felt "restricted" while she was in her marriage. Cardi added:

"I was just like in a state that I didn’t even notice. Even when I feel like I wasn’t depressed, I just wasn’t being myself. And now, I don’t feel like that."

The rapper also shed light on the allegations of her being an irresponsible parent. She described herself as a "real provider." The Bodak Yellow artist further stated:

"I balance it all. How do you expect women to heal over a heartbreak? That’s why we say our mothers cry so much."

This wasn't the first time that Cardi B addressed such criticism. The bashing got too intense earlier in October when she was spotted partying at The Stafford Room, where Offset was present.

Back then, Cardi B slammed the trolls and claimed that she was extremely devoted to her baby. She further revealed suffering from postpartum depression and that she was partying with her closest friends.

The rapper's debut album, Invasion of Privacy, was launched in 2018, and since then she has not dropped any other album. However, she has released singles including Enough (Miami) and Puntería, in 2024. Fans seemingly have to wait some more to witness her sophomore album.
