The singer also told the fan that she was “dumb” and that she thought with her “ass.”
The uproar began on Wednesday when a follower on social media platform X asked if she had lightened her skin after seeing a photo of Cardi with her baby bump exposed.
Her skin looked lighter, but that was probably due to the camera flash.
The rapper was upset by the accusation, even calling the fan “dumb” and asking her to stop thinking with her “ass.”
Cardi said she looked lighter because the pregnancy had been difficult for her as she is now anemic.
‘Bleaching your hair during pregnancy (three sad face emojis)? Why do you have to be so stupid? Actually NO! I’m pregnant, I’m a little anemic, this baby is sucking all the energy out of my body to the point where I’m pale, sunken-eyed, veins are green like blood, I can’t tan in the sun because I get hot so fast and dizzy… PLEASE STOP THINKING WITH YOUR ASS!’
Cardi also named user X.

Cardi, who already has Wave, two, and Kulture, six, with ex-husband Offset, told X: “I had a terrible accident.”
-I don’t know how it was something, well, it wasn’t anything small. It really hurt me.
‘It’s not something that happens very often, but it became so big that it literally paralyzed me. But yes. And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come. But it didn’t happen. Yesterday I was feeling fine. I went home, but I came back high as a kite.
“I woke up sober today, baby. I’m dying. I mean, I’m dying.
‘I swear to God if I don’t feel good in four hours I’m going to the hospital and I don’t give a shit. I’m going to hype this shit up so I can get more morphine. Give me morphine! I don’t give a shit. Oh my God.’
