Cardi B Receives Death Threats Over Instagram Caption

TMZ

Cardi B is in hot water with reported Crip gang members after posting a shady comment on a photo. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper started receiving death threats after she posted a picture wearing a blue fur coat. The caption threw shade at the rival gang. The caption, now deleted, said ‘I hate wearing Flue but this coat was too poppin.”

The term ‘Flue’ is a word Blood gang members, which Cardi B seems to heavily claim, use to avoid saying the word ‘blue’ which is the preferred color for rival gang Crips. Cari’s captions didn’t go over well with the Crips.

Since posting the picture, the ‘Motor Sport’ rapper has received harsh criticism as well as death threats from alleged Crip gang members. The threats prompted the rapper to delete her caption and turn off the comments. Cardi B has not released any further statements addressing the issue.

Here are some of the now deleted comments:

-“This s*** is not a joke! You will really get touched out here. Don’t ever speak on the crips as long as you live little girl!”

-“Cardi you better not ever step foot in LA. You will be killed, That’s on everything I love.”

-“Now why you go and do this f**k s**t Cardi. This is literally WestCoast Suicide …. bitch betta get #neutral.”

-“@iamcardib this will not be accepted #DONTCOMETOLA.”

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
