Cardi
B is no stranger to online trolling, but this time, the rapper drew a firm line when a false and deeply disturbing allegation involving her father began circulating on social media. The controversy erupted after a troll shared an apparently doctored screenshot of AI tool GROK, falsely claiming that Cardi B’s father had been “convicted of attempted rape.” Outraged by the defamatory post, the Grammy-winning rapper took to X to shut down the claim and defend her family, making it clear that she would not tolerate baseless accusations or malicious lies.
Cardi B defends her father
Responding directly to the post, Cardi B wrote on X, "First thing first, my dad never been arrested in this county.. my dad is a immigrant from the Dominican Republic.. he would be deported if he committed such a disgusting crime!! I don’t know why yall like playing these games just for you to be fake mad when I post who got those real mugshots, real evidence, AND REAL cases for rape.. stop playing wit me and my family and leave me the fck alone fr before I start some shit today". The rapper’s strongly worded message reflected both her anger and frustration at seeing her family dragged into false narratives online.
The post quickly went viral, with fans and supporters rallying behind Cardi B and condemning the misuse of AI-generated content to spread misinformation. Many pointed out how dangerous and irresponsible it is to circulate unverified claims, especially when they involve serious criminal allegations. Several fans also expressed concern over how easily doctored screenshots can be weaponised to malign individuals with no factual basis.
