Cardi is slim and light-skinned. She will often ‘get away’ with more than other women, especially those who look like Lizzo, will. That’s the world we live in. People may get mad but I don’t care lol Colorism and fatphobia shape SO MANY reactions and extensions of ‘grace.’

The star blasted the Twitter user with a lot of emphasis. She said that it’s every week that something happens and that she has to get dragged into it. Many fans come to support Cardi in her defiant response. Her extraordinary responses often lead fans to believe that she is truly one of the most imitated.
