Cardi B Accuses Podcaster Mona Of Twisting Her 2024 Colorism Comments To Spark Controversy:
‘You Decided To Use Me’

Cardi B is firing back at podcaster Mona Love, accusing her of twisting an old conversation about colorism and dragging the rapper into her ongoing controversy with Tia Kemp.

In a lengthy statement on X, Cardi explained that her 15-minute livestream from 2024 had been reduced to a 13-second clip that misrepresented her position.

“I know that colorism is real I never denied that I seen it for myself,” Cardi wrote, recalling witnessing discrimination against darker-skinned women while working at a strip club.

However, she pushed back against claims that her complexion explains her accomplishments.

“But what Im always going to stand up for is that my skin tone is not solely the reason for my success.”

Cardi then addressed Mona personally, alleging the podcaster spent years privately requesting personal, surgery and career advice, including guidance on securing brand partnerships.

“Am i upset with Mona?? Yes!!” she declared, questioning why Mona never contacted her for clarification.

The Grammy winner also accused Mona of resurfacing the controversy to distract from backlash surrounding her criticism of Tia Kemp, whom Cardi claimed was selling more comedy tickets.

“I know why … because you decided to use me and a sensitive topic as a scapegoat.”

Cardi concluded that acknowledging colorism should not invalidate her accomplishments.

“We can acknowledge that reality without diminishing my accomplishments or my experience.”
