In a heartfelt and raw Instagram Live story, dated Thursday, Cardi B addressed concerns raised by her followers after she posted tweets that hinted at suicidal thoughts.
The “Bodak Yellow” artist, often outspoken and unapologetic, opened up about the weight of negative comments and the toll they had on her emotional well-being.
Cardi B: I was just very overwhelmed
The Grammy-winning rapper confessed, “When I burst, I’m very outspoken. When I get into one of my bad moments, I will literally curse everybody out, and I’ll be fin’ like, ‘I want you to die. B**, I wanna die. I don’t give a f**!’ Because that’s just how I’ll be feeling in the moment.”
Cardi B explained that despite her strong persona, she had been feeling overwhelmed and deeply saddened.
She expressed, “I was just very overwhelmed yesterday. I was very sad. And, I don’t know – I feel like I was just having such a good week, and then, when I got home, and I started paying attention to so much st that people were saying about me, and all the funny st about me … I just started getting upset about it.”
Furthermore, she shared her strategy for coping with these moments, stating that she relied on the support of her family and friends to lift her spirits. “Even today, I felt a little bit down. I was a little overwhelmed, I was crying so much this morning,” she continued. “But I feel a little bit better. Me and my sister, we went out and chilled. Went to The Bronx, went to a little lounge, we drank a little bit, we took some f***in’ pictures. Tomorrow, I’m just gonna take the day off because on Friday, I have to go out of town. I want to chill with my friends because my friends always cheer me up. That’s the good thing about me. I have a lot of friends and I have a lot of family that will cheer me up.”
