Cardi B hits back at social media trolls
Cardi B has accused social media trolls of trying to "humble" her with insults.
The 32-year-old rap star took to X to hit back at online trolls, after spotting edited photographs of herself on the micro-blogging platform.
Alongside an unedited video of herself, Cardi wrote: "Am I really that bad of a b**** that y'all always gotta edit my pictures to fake try to humble me wit insults on this app? Anyways no filter, no makeup, just me and this wig I had on for days. THANK YOU!! (sic)"
In response, one X user said: "my god she reeks of insecurity like it's getting sad (sic)"
However, Cardi refused to back down, insisting that she's not insecure at all about her looks.
The chart-topping rap star - who worked as a stripper before finding success in the music business - wrote: "I'm insecure or do I make yall insecure to the point that you gotta go pull up my pictures then open a app and edit them because yall can't stand how hard I step??? (sic)"
Cardi subsequently retweeted a post that suggested her name is used for "engagement" on social media.
The post read: "everybody using cardi's name for engagement chile [yawning emoji] (sic)"
Although Cardi is one of the best-selling artists in the world, the rap star previously claimed that she was actually happier before she found fame.
The 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker doesn't have any money worries these days, but she's less happy than she used to be.
Cardi - who has Kulture, six, Wave, three, and a daughter, whose name has not been revealed, born in September - told CR Fashion Book magazine: "One positive thing is that, my family, whatever they want, they get. Everything that I want to buy, I can get. I don't have to worry so much about my future.
"One negative thing is that, even though I'm happy, I feel like I was a little bit happier two or three years ago when I had less money."
What's more, Cardi feels as though she's lost some control over her own life.
She said: "I had less people who had opinions about my life. I felt like my life was mine.
"Now I feel like I don't even own my life. I feel like the world owns me."

Cardi B 'would have killed' Offset if they'd stayed together
Cardi B would have "ended up killing" Offset if they were still together. The 32-year-old rapper married the Migos star - with whom she has children Kulture, six, Wave, three, and eight-month-old Blossom - in 2017 but filed for divorce until 2020, though they later continued an on/off relationship before parting for good in July last year, and she's admitted she felt she was "losing [her] mind" towards the end of their marriage. Speaking on X Spaces, People magazine reports she said: 'I don't think people understand how tired I was. How tired, how mentally drained I was. 'Drained, drained, drained. Couldn't eat. I was getting frequent headaches. I was literally losing my mind. 'I was literally losing my mind. And I gave it chances after chances after chances after chances after chances after chances. "[If I was] still there, I was going to end up going to jail, 'cause I was going to end up killing them. Seriously, with my own bare hands. 'Cause it was just getting so … it was just getting too much." The 'WAP' hitmaker stressed there were "more" problems in their marriage than just infidelity. She noted outsiders view the situation as: "Oh, you left somebody because they were cheating on you.' But she explained it was also "the constant lies, the gaslighting." She added: "It was really messing up with my head. 'I was so depressed, 'cause the lies, the constant drama. I would wake up every single morning paranoid." At one point, before she and Offset reconciled and had their third child, Cardi's worried management team wanted her to see a therapist. She said: "I did therapy and I tried and I fell back in love again and I decided to have my baby and everything, and it's just like, when it's the end of something it's literally the end of something. 'And I don't know what people wanted me to do.' But the 'Up' rapper is now in a good place and enjoying her romance with Steffon Diggs. She said: 'I'm in a place right now that I'm very happy and I feel like I'm crawling. It's like I'm learning how to do things. 'Dating is new to me. It took a long time for me to open up to somebody. Cardi had "built a friendship" with the 31-year-old sportsman before they started dating and she hadn't 'been this happy in a very, very long time". She added: 'I went through a lot of f****** trauma. And I had to learn myself. Before I even got with somebody, I had to learn myself. I had to come at peace with myself, and I had to shed a lot of f****** tears so I could finally be like, 'Yeah, I'm feeling good.' And I'm sharing that.' 'Let me share that because this is really my life, that everybody having a f****** opinion on. So shut the f*** up.'

Timothee Chalamet in the stands as Knicks celebrate a huge NBA playoff win
Celebrity row was legendary at Madison Square Garden during Game 6 of the Knicks-Celtics Eastern Conference semi-finals series on Saturday (AEST), with the city celebrating a dominant 119-81 win that launched New York into the Eastern Conference Finals. Knicks superfans Spike Lee, Timothee Chalamet, Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan sat courtside, in addition to the likes of Lenny Kravitz and Jason Sudeikis, the New York Post reports. The worlds of rap and New York sports were well represented with rappers Busta Rhymes, Action Bronson, Bad Bunny, Remy Ma and Fat Joe in attendance, along with Giants quarterback Russell Wilson. New power couple Ice Spice and Sauce Gardner, the Jets star cornerback, took in the festivities, as did comedian Pete Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt. Celebrity row is the hottest seat in town, especially during the NBA playoffs — and tickets aren't available for purchase because it's invite only. 'It's the biggest names in the front row,' an insider familiar with obtaining celebrity row seats for their clients told The Post. 'B-list tends to be harder.' Cardi B and Stefon Diggs attended Game 4 at MSG, where they appeared to hard launch their relationship with some PDA in their courtside seats. Chalamet and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, and her sister, supermodel Kendall Jenner, were also there. Former Knicks PR chief and media consultant Joe Favorito told The Post if you don't bleed blue and orange, you're not getting onto celebrity row — no matter how famous you are. 'In Boston, Dana White was sitting with a Celtics jersey — you wouldn't see him in Celebrity Row,' Favorito said. 'You can be sitting other places if you're rooting for the opposing team, but it's not like you're going to get access if you're not wearing orange and blue.' New York quickly built a big lead and took much of the anticipation out of the game in a rout of the defending champions, who were playing without injured superstar Jayson Tatum. The Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000, where they lost to the Indiana Pacers in six games, sparking huge celebrations across the city. With Boston officially baked, the Knicks will face Indiana once again in the Conference Finals. The Pacers won their semi-final series against the Cavaliers with a Game 5 victory to head back to the Conference Finals for the second consecutive year. The Eastern Conference Finals get underway on Thursday, May 22 (AES). In the Western Conference, the Thunder and Nuggets play game seven of their series on Monday for the right to meet Minnesota in their Conference Finals.
