“We’ll never beat the Mexican allegations omg,” one fan wrote on the social media platform. Then, Cardi B quote-tweeted a cheeky response. “I mean they claim I’m Mexican… I might as well embrace my new nationality lol.” However, the Bronx rapper then deleted her post for unknown reasons. But it might be because of all the people bashing the statement for its potential insensitivity.
This isn’t the first time she received backlash, as she faced a lot of criticism in the past for identifying as a Black woman when many others would say otherwise. For the record, she is of Dominican and Trinidadian descent with African and Spanish roots.
