Cardi B broke her silence amid online criticism for spending Christmas apart from her boyfriend Stefon Diggs.
The 33-year-old rapper spent quality time with her kids and newborn son this holiday season, while the NFL player celebrated with his two children, whom he welcomed with his former partners.
Regarding her X account, she addressed the backlash in a video posted on December 29.
“You guys need to calm down,” Cardi started. “Are you all cool? You’ve been dragging me around for three or four days. You’ve all gotten a little too mean. I can’t change, I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby.”
The Upwards rapper went on to say, “I don’t know what y’all want me to do. All we can do now is move on.”
Cardi also asked her fans to show their support as she is all set to kick off her 2026 tour which is keeping her away from her kids.
“I’m already super stressed,” she expressed her concerns. “I need my support system, my fans, to love me. I want you to come to my tour and enjoy it with me. Don’t drag me along. It’s enough.”
Despite the criticism, Cardi ended her statement with well wishes, saying, “I want the best for all of you,” she concluded. “I want health, money, prosperity and happiness for all of you in this new year – wish me the same. Okay, leave me alone though.”
It is pertinent to mention that Cardi shares her three children, Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 14 months
