Cardi B hits back at social media trolls
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's latest tune samples this Jay-Z classic
Cardi B has unleashed Imaginary Playerz, the second single from her long-awaited second studio album Am I The Drama?. Boasting a sample of Jay-Z's 1997 classic Imaginary Player, the tune was produced by DJ SwanQo, Sean Island, and OctaneThisThatGas, and is a swagger-soaked anthem that doubles down on Cardi's signature bravado. Telling fans about getting the music mogul's seal of approval, Cardi spilled on X Space this week: 'I was so happy because you guys understand, the song is kinda long… This song is like a staple for me and I had to get it approved by the one and only. 'It's a very hip-hop record and I hope you guys enjoy it.' It arrives with a cinematic companion video co-directed by Cardi herself alongside longtime creative partner Patience Foster. Through her joint venture, she's already sold out multiple limited-edition merch box sets, including a headline-grabbing WWE collaboration. The newly launched Imaginary Playerz box set and alternate album cover art are available now - but only in limited quantities at The WWE tie-in isn't just for show. Cardi made her hosting debut at SummerSlam on August 2, where she previewed new music and sent fans into a frenzy. That same week, she dropped Outside, the first single from Am I The Drama?, which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 - her 13th Top 10 hit - and soared to #1 on Apple Music, marking her first chart-topper since the multi-platinum Up. Cardi's new era kicked off with a bang at the Cannes Spotify Beach Party in June, where she performed Outside live for the first time. Am I The Drama? is released on September 19.

The bold tattoo trend celebrities aren't afraid to rock
Celebrities and their butt tattoos Trends come and go, and tattoos are no different. From cybersigilism to neo-traditional, from micro-realism to free hand florals, tattoo styles are anything but linear. Even the once-mocked lower back tattoo, infamously dubbed the 'tramp stamp' in the 90s, has made a major comeback this year. Picture: Instagram In 2020, Cardi B had the tattoo updated, adding more floral details and a butterfly. She said on Instagram, 'this whole week I have been taking hours of pain getting tatted'. Ouch! Picture: Instagram Actress Lea Michele started her career on Broadway in productions Les Misérables, Ragtime, Fiddler on the Roof, and Spring Awakening. She's best known for her role on musical television series Glee, where she received nominations for an Emmy Award and two Golden Globes. Picture: Getty Images Kylie Jenner has a small collection of small, dainty tattoos across her body. They all carry sentimental meaning, and are mostly tributes to her two children, matching tattoos she's gotten with friends, and tiny symbols that we are still to learn about. Picture: Getty Images On her right butt cheek, she has the phonetic spelling of 'sanity', written as '\'sa-nə-tē\'. In an Instagram post from 2019, Jenner said, 'growing up in the light with a million eyes on you just isn't normal. I've lost friends along the way and I've lost myself too sometimes. my first tattoo was 'sanity' to remind myself everyday to keep it. I've struggled with anxiety my whole young adult life and after my baby I dealt with all the internal ups and downs. I felt like I had to find myself completely again. I keep a whole lot to myself but just wanted to share and let you know I'm human. my life is not perfect and what you see here on social media is just the surface.' Picture: TheRealSPW/Backgrid Scary Spice Mel B is another inked celeb. She recently made headlines after marrying her hairstylist now-husband Rory McPhee for the second time in an extravagant Morocco wedding ceremony. Their first wedding was on July 5th, at St. Paul's Cethedrawl in London. Picture: Getty Images The newlyweds looking very happy. Picture: Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images Last year, Mel B posted a cheeky picture to her Instagram. Unfortunately, no one actually knowing what the tattoo is of. Picture: Instagram Sarah Hyland may be memorable to most for her role as Haley Dunphy in Modern Family, but the actress, who started in the industry at the age of 4, has long standing roots in theatre. In the last few years, she's returned to her roots in Broadway as Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors and most recently wrapped up her role as Daisy in The Great Gatsby. Picture: Getty Images Hyland debuted her butt tattoo in 2017. She captioned the post 'We believe in dinosaurs', and shared her bestie Katie Welch's matching dinosaur tattoo. Picture: Instagram However, only two years later, Hyland seems to have gotten removed. Footage shared to her Instagram shows her lying down with protective glasses. Captioned 'Actual reaction to some laser tattoo removals', as she grimaced through the pain. Picture: Instagram Anastasia Nicole McFarland, best known for her stage name Alexis Skyy, rose to fame in Atlanta after appearing in reality show Love & Hip Hop. In her days, she's gotten more than a few tattoos, including down her arm, on her legs, and across her upper back. Picture: Getty Images One of the largest tattoos she has a butterfly across her butt cheek, though it seems she may not be completely happy with her inking decisions. In 2021, the reality star revealed on her Instagram stories, 'I really wish I can remove all my tattoos, even the butterfly'. Picture: Instagram Rihanna has quite the tattoo collection, with more than 25 pieces across her body. Her pieces are on the smaller side, with sentimental text, numbers and symbols adorned over her body. Picture: Getty Images The rarely-seen tattoo is Tibetan script, which loosely translates to 'lover'. Picture: Instagram Solána Imani Rowe, known professionally as SZA, is an American singer-songwriter. She made headlines this year after joining Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl Halftime Show and more recently, her Grammy-winning album S.O.S has now become the second most-streamed album by a female artist in Spotify's history, despite being released nearly three years ago in 2022. Picture: Getty Images SZA's derrière tattoo is so rarely seen, we don't know what it actually is. Picture: Instagram However, she has shared pictures of her lower back tattoo, which spells out 'LANA', one of her nicknames. She revealed on X that it was her first tattoo, and she had it done at the age of 13. She said it was '10 bucks a letter. Saved my lunch money for 4 weeks'. Picture: Instagram The half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss, Lottie Moss made her mark in the world as an English fashion model. The 27-year-old has been inked a few times in her life, including a face tattoo of the word 'Lover' that she had done during a drunken night out in 2022. Earlier this year, she shared pictures of her tattoo removal treatment to Instagram, admitting that she on a mission to remove some of the tattoos that she 'either doesn't like or just don't align with anymore'. Picture: Getty Images However, it looks like she's kept her bum cheek tattoo. Picture: Instagram The tattoo reads 'not yours'. Picture: Instagram English singer and television personality Cheryl Cole rose to fame as a member of pop girl group Girls Aloud. She has one son, Bear, who she shared with late One Direction singer Liam Payne. In October 2024, she shared a photo of him and their son to Instagram, asking fans privacy. 'As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I'd like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being,' she wrote. 'Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.' Picture: Getty Images Cole has eight tattoos on her lower back and bum, including an intricate rose design. Picture: Instagram Halle Berry's stint as a pageant queen and a fashion model helped launch her acting career. Her most memorable roles include that of Catwoman and Monster's Ball, where she acted alongside Heath Ledger and received an Oscar Award for Best Actress, the first Black woman to have won this award. In her speech, she said, 'This moment is so much bigger than me. This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll. It's for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivica Fox. And it's for every nameless, faceless woman of colour that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened'. Picture: Getty Images Halle Berry previously admitted that her biggest regret was getting ex-husband David Justice's name tattooed on her behind. The actress has since had it covered up with a sunflower tattoo, revealing 'If I had to do it again, I would never have gotten any!' Picture: Instagram Founder and Chief Creative Officer of skincare brand Rhode, Hailey Bieber has more than just a few tattoos - in fact, she's home to 24 pieces. They're all tiny, fine-line designs though, so chances are you may not have known she's tatted all over. Picture: Getty Images More of a hip tattoo, she had '1996', the year she was born, inked in 2018. Picture: TikTok If you're a fan of Without Me singer Halsey, then you'd know just how many tattoos she has. Or, maybe you'd have no idea, because the artist seems to constantly be getting new ink. Her first tatt was at the age of 16, an anchor with her mother's initials, and she's since committed to over 40 pieces of body art. Picture: Getty Images via AFP She has the word 'HOPELESS' on her behind, a reference to her album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. Picture: Instagram French-American model and actress Camille Rowe is another with a cheeky tattoo on her behind. She's modelled for major fashion houses including Louis Vuitton and Dior, and has graced the covers of Elle France and Playboy. She was most recently photographed attending Paris Fashion Week earlier this year. Picture: Getty Images for Victoria's Secret Rowe has a small pineapple tattoo on her behind. Picture: Instagram Actress Dakota Johnson has an array of small tattoos on her body. People reported the actress, 'went through a phase where I loved tattoos, and I loved the feeling of getting tattooed. But now I've outgrown them mostly and (because) I always have to cover them for jobs, god, they're annoying.' Picture:Well, it turns out she's not wrong, and one of her tattoos did in fact turn out to be a big pain in the… butt (pun intended). Fifty Shades of Grey cinematographer previously revealed to the New York Times that he had to cast a 'butt double' for the actress. While most of her tattoos can be seen in red carpet pictures, her butt tattoo has never been publicly revealed - we don't even know what it is! Picture:for Roberto Coin.

Cardi B, a crow and the Americans taking over Paris Fashion Week
A warm 'howdy' is becoming more appropriate than a breathy 'bonjour' backstage at Paris Fashion Week. On day one, Americans are already the flavour of the autumn/winter 2026 haute couture season at two leading fashion houses, leaving the acquired taste of French designers in short supply. The week dedicated to clothes for the rich, where gowns can cost anywhere between $77,000 and $1,230,000, began with a collection brimming with historical references from US designer Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli. Who is buying the matador suits and gowns with jutting hips and shoulders? Lauren Sanchez wore a gold corset dress from Schiaparelli as part of her pre-wedding festivities with Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos. The dress, with floral hand embroidery, was estimated to have cost $US100,000 ($154,000). Roseberry has risen to the top of the Parisienne ranks by embracing the drama of the label, founded by Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1927, which gained fame for its surrealist touches. In 2023, Roseberry gave us Kylie Jenner wearing a realistic lion's head in the front row, yesterday it was Cardi B arriving cocooned in a black velvet gown with pearl fringing, an exaggerated U-neckline and a crow on a leash. Cardi B asked the paparazzi to be quiet, to not scare the bird. Pop singer Dua Lipa, in a white gown with paillettes and a keyhole cut-out endured the photographers screams, arriving without a bird, or even a key. The highlight of the Schiaparelli show was a dress with a faux décolletage on the back and a beating red diamanté heart. It's unlikely to inspire any Zara dresses but could turn up at Lauren Sanchez-Bezos's Valentine's Day celebrations. Groundwork for the US invasion began the day before the Schiaparelli show, with Washington DC-born designer Michael Rider debuting as creative director at Celine. Having worked at the French fashion house in the past, with stints at Balenciaga and Ralph Lauren, Rider's ready-to-wear show was a confident presentation of early 80s silhouettes with roomy red leather jackets, skinny jeans and suits with broad shoulders and nipped waists.
