Cardi B Claps Back at Body Shamers While Eating a Stack of Pancakes

Cardi B had a sarcastic response for Las Vegas concert-goers who insulted her body.

At the show, which took place Friday night (May 25), she sported a skintight leopard-print bodysuit that showed off her figure, leading to some unprompted negative commentary online. Though she did not seem to be responding to any particular individual, Cardi still took to the internet to clarify that she is unfazed by anyone commenting on her appearance.

The rap star sat in front of a plate of pancakes, cutting into a sizzling stack of flapjacks as she added whipped cream and maple syrup on top. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper sported a fuzzy white bathrobe, auburn hair and a set of sparkly nails in the video.

"I'm getting body shamed, I'm so sad," she said through fake tears as she pretended to sniffle. Her sadness was clearly sarcastic as she smiled through her pancake bites.

"Everybody saying that I look fat, that my ass is so fat," she continued.

The video continues for nearly a minute, complete with several pauses where the only sound is Cardi slicing up and munching her pancakes. She made clear that the fluffy, syrupy treat was the star of the clip.

"Everybody hates me," she joked.

"What am I gonna do?" she concluded.

One fan questioned her choice of breakfast food, writing, "I love Cardi but is she JUST eating pancakes? Where the eggs at?"

This user was quickly corrected as other fans detailed that Cardi B had also eaten "chicken wings and a lobster tail" during the livestream from which the viral clip hails.

Fans were excited by Cardi's willingness to clap back at the haters.

"I LOVE how she can joke about it and move on. Its giving maturity," wrote @idolinfusion.

"Girl bye you look great!," said another.

However, some netizens were not-so-kind with their comments towards the "WAP" rapper, reacting to the clip with pointed words.

"To go out your way to "show your not bothered" proves you're bothered," wrote one disgruntled user.

Another attacked Cardi's choice to go under the knife.

"Isn't it body shaming if you get your body done? Like you hate your body to change it, HYPOCRITE," they posted.

Cardi B has been open and transparent about her decisions to have alterations performed on her physique. In 2019, she responded to criticism of her body on Instagram Live.

"I do whatever the f--- I want to do with my body. I don't have the time of day like you do. Like, my job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro. So no, I don't have time to work out and I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out, [will] not get fixed," she said.
