*After being cancelled this week by the Black delegation, Cardi B is now attempting to clarify remarks she made about drugging and robbing men during her prostitution/stripper days.
“I had to go strip, I had to go, ‘Oh yeah, you want to fuck me? Yeah, let’s go back to this hotel,'” she said in a newly surfaced Instagram Live broadcast filmed three years ago. “And I drugged n***as up and I robbed them. That’s what I used to do.”
Her confession drew outrage across social media and even sparked the hashtag #SurvivingCardiB—a reference to Lifetime’s docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly,” about the alleged sexual abuse levelled against the R&B hitmaker.
Cardi initially dismissed the backlash, saying: “I never claim to be a angel I always been a street bitch,” she proclaimed. “Ya be glorifying this street rappers that talk and do that grimmey street sh*t but they can’t stand a street bitch!”

It’s unclear what provoked her ridiculous rant but the unforgiving criticism forced the “Money” rapper to take a self-imposed break from Twitter. However, the Grammy winner noted before her social media exile plans to tell-all about her so-called thug life in a book, Complex reports.
“Y’all don’t gotta worry about it, y’all don’t gotta tell my story,” she said. “Want to know why y’all don’t gotta tell my story? Because I’m going to write a book about my life.”
But after many called for a boycott and even criminal prosecution, Cardi B returned to social media on Tuesday to address the controversial video and attempted to take responsibility for being a loud and proud hoodrat.
“I never even put those things in my music because I’m not proud of it and feel a responsibility not to glorify it. I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very limited options,” she wrote. “I was blessed to have been able to rise from that but so many women have not. Whether or not they were poor choices at the time I did what I had to do to survive. The men I spoke about in my live were men that I dated that I was involve with men that were conscious willing and aware. I have a past that I can’t change we all do.”
