Cardi B has taken to Twitter to slam accusations that she is homophobic and transphobic. This comes after the rapper revealed that she identifies as bisexual.
A Twitter user accused the 27-year-old mother of one of being "homophobic and transphobic", and she promptly defended herself. "How the f**k am i homophobic or transphobic?have you been to a carribean island where you really see homophobia! Have you dealt with a parent that can’t accept you for your sexuality?i said some ignorant things b4 that apologized for & educated myself on it don’t mean I’m homo [sic]," she replied on the social media platform.
The Bodak Yellow singer continued: "Ya keep using that same 1 video that I apologize for over & over again to call me homophobic & transphobic 1 but never post about the ones where I support the LGBT community which are multiples and the multiple tweets I posted in support [sic]," before proceeding to explain how she's had family members who have struggled with their sexuality, including her sister, Hennessey Carolina.
"And I don’t support the LGBT community because I have “gay fans” I support because of the confused feelings I had growing up on is it normal to like girls? I support because I know how hard it was for my gay cousin to come out to his very strict Dominican family. I support because I know the pain my cousin from my mom side which is a Tran “ have a f****d up relationship with her dad for years ! I support because I seen the transitions & the feelings my glam team having during their time with they body transition & my sister .. [sic]."
