AceShowbiz - Cardi B has faced significant online backlash due to her recent social activities, including a trip to Paris Fashion Week and a late-night party with friends at The Stafford Room in New York City. Critics questioned her commitment to her newborn daughter, expressing concerns over the time spent away from home.
However, Cardi B did not remain silent. The Grammy-winning artist took to Instagram Live to address the criticism. "I be with my baby all day…I need to go out," she asserted.
Cardi B explained that her outings were essential for her mental health as she navigates through a tough divorce, "I'm going through a divorce right now. If I stay home and f**king depress myself, that s**t's gonna drive me crazy. That's why I'm working, and the weekends, I'm going out with my girls. So, stop. I don't ever wanna go through a f**king postpartum depression ever again, and I'm avoiding that."
Cardi B married Offset in 2017, and after nearly seven years of marriage, they have decided to part ways for the second time. The couple, who share three children - Kulture, Wave, and their newborn whose name hasn't been revealed - are slowly adjusting to the new family dynamics.
Cardi recently discussed the difficulties of this change, especially for her children. "My kids gotta get used to that, 'No, you're not going to come home every single day and your dad is gonna be here.' Slowly, but surely. It's kinda hard," she shared candidly.
Despite their separation, both Cardi and Offset were present at The Stafford Room but arrived and left separately. This, however, did not seem to ease the criticism targeted at Cardi, who nonetheless remains focused on her work. Fans eagerly await her highly-anticipated sophomore album, which she has promised will be released later this year.
Cardi also shared some insights about her most recent pregnancy, expressing that it was considerably easier compared to her previous two. "This baby just popped right out," she remarked, adding that she felt an unusual burst of energy shortly after giving birth.
As Cardi B continues to navigate this challenging period, she emphasizes the importance of self-care and mental health, encouraging others to understand the need for balance in one's life. With her sights set on new music and other endeavors, Cardi B is determined to rise above the negativity as she enters this new chapter.
