AceShowbiz - Cardi B has something to explain. The "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker has defended herself after she was spotted posting an explicit video on Twitter when asking whether the micro-blogging platform was down.
On Friday, November 18, the 30-year-old New York native turned to her account to set the record straight. "My twitter was hacked," she wrote along with a GIF that sees Wendy Williams posing and smiling next to her wax figure that sits on her iconic purple chair on "The Wendy Williams Show".
However, fans were not buying what Cardi said. Instead, they shared screen-record footage that captured Cardi's previous NSFW tweet. In it, it could be seen Cardi tweeted, "Twitter down?" along with an explicit video that saw a woman having fun with multiple men on a yacht.
Before Cardi took the raunchy footage down, it was retweeted over 1,200 times and liked over 5,700 times. "who you think you fooling [crying emoji]," one person reacted to Cardi's claim that her account was hacked. Another exclaimed, "NAH YOU LIE LOLOLOL [laughing with tears emojis]."
A separate user posted, "Stop lying miss freak lol." Another said, "You know it was you," while someone else pointed out that Cardi got herself "trending in the US cause of that video chile." The said person added a screenshot of Cardi's name on Twitter trending topic list.
That wasn't the first time Cardi found her name on Twitter trending topic list due to explicit video. Last month, she broke the Internet after she asked her 25 million followers to send her "lesbo porn."
While it's not clear whether Cardi is experiencing Twitter outage, some users claimed that they cannot access the blue bird app. Many speculated that the bad performance of the social media platform came after Elon Musk abruptly shut down Twitter offices.
Obtained by BBC, a message sent to workers stated that the offices would reopen on Monday, November 21. "Hi, Effective immediately, we are temporarily closing our office buildings and all badge access will be suspended. Offices will reopen on Monday, November 21st," the alleged message which was sent to staff read.
According to a new report, hundreds of workers at the social media company rejected its new owner's ultimatum. Among those who exited the company was Tess Rinearson, who was tasked with building a cryptocurrency team at Twitter. The departures also included many engineers responsible for fixing bugs and preventing service outages.
As news that Twitter closed its offices hit the web, Twitter users started trending #RIPTwitter and #TwitterDown hashtags with many criticizing the world's richest man for ruining their favorite social media app.
