The rapper has come under fire for turning up as a newly single woman. Cardi B has been back outside since giving birth to her third child amid her divorce from Offset. Social media comments complained she must never spend time with her kids after her wild nights trended online. AllHipHop reports Cardi swore off “partying hard” after her latest outing, but she defended her right to enjoy some freedom like all the men who have children at home.
Over the holiday weekend, Cardi hit the streets of NYC with her girlfriends for another night of clubbing. She still must not get cold because she only wore a cream bikini and fishnets under a matching fur coat in the chilly temps. The coordinating blonde hair was another hint that she was ready to have a lot more fun.

If the outfit didn’t make haters mad enough, viral clips of Cardi twerking onstage sparked outrage.
Some fans also called Cardi out for swearing off partying after the previous weekend and after her birthday bash in October. However, she also said the same thing about Offset before her divorce filing was up and stuck for good. She went on to explain that the former was temporarily helping her get over the latter, but the “Enough” rapper assures that “I’m not being a h*e!”
Most of the backlash was nothing more than sl*t-shaming and mom-shaming Cardi for less than her peers do on a regular basis, whether they’re caring for their kids or not. And the Grammy winner logged on the next day to let her haters have it!
Check out how Cardi B clapped back at criticism that she’s partying as a parent and opened up about healing during divorce after the flip!

Never one to take public scrutiny in silence, Cardi B addressed her haters directly. On Sunday, she opened up about turning up, parenting, and moving on after divorce in a Spaces chat on X (formerly Twitter).
“Yesterday was my last day going out to party. We been partying hard honey, hard. Having a time, a ball. But let’s have this little talk,” she said, explaining that she’ll save future festivities for special occasions.
Cardi called out the double standards and the fact “it’s men that usually” accuse her of “being a h*e” and “always outside.” In typical Cardi fashion, she confronted the Invasion of Privacy by letting critics know:
“I’m not being a h*e because after I leave the club, I take this wet a** p***y to my f**king bed with no d**k to give it to.”
We may not see the star outside much after the holidays, but she pointed out that having fun serves a deeper purpose of battling depression and isolation. She’d take some time with some friends over never leaving the house, where boredom can inspire “dumb decisions like hitting up your ex.” And we all know how that usually works out.
When Cardi was married, focusing solely on her work and family, she let public perception keep her so “restricted” she lost some of her identity. “I was just like in a state that I didn’t even notice,” she explained. “Even when I feel like I wasn’t depressed, I just wasn’t being myself. And now, I don’t feel like that. I don’t give a f**k. Like b***h, f**k you, I’m living my life.”
That doesn’t mean the booked and busy baddie is slacking on her responsibilities and being a “fake Instagram model mom.” She’s still working to be a “real provider” for her kids.
“I balance it all. How do you expect women to heal over a heartbreak? That’s why we say our mothers cry so much,” she confessed.
Just a few weeks ago, Cardi discussed standing on business with her babies ahead of parent-teacher conferences. “I’m not playing. I am that type of mom,” she warned about snatching devices as punishment.
Besides keeping Kulture, Wave, and her new baby girl on the right track, she still has a new album on the way.
“Next year, my album will be out, my secret businesses will be out can’t tell you what I’m working on. Hopefully next year I get me a little boyfriend. I’m h*e-less right now. I gotta get my s**t together,” Cardi admitted after swearing off partying last week.
“I’m going through a very different transition in my f**king life and life is moving a little bit too fast. I don’t want to crash,” she said.
Hopefully, Cardi can continue to heal in peace as she adjusts to life after divorce.
