Cardi B has denied rumours making rounds on the internet that she is bleaching her skin during her pregnancy, explaining that her lighter complexion is due to anaemia.
The rapper addressed a comment on X (formerly Twitter) that asked, “Has Cardi been bleaching her skin?”
This speculation followed a post where Cardi shared a photo of former City Girls member JT touching her baby bump. After sharing the photo, an X user questioned whether the Trini-Dominican rapper was bleaching because she looked more pale than usual.
Denying the bleaching report, Cardi B said;
Bleaching while pregnant 😒😒😒? Why must yall be so dumb ? Actually NO ! I’m pregnant I’m slightly anemic ,this baby suckin all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale,eyes sunken ,veins green ASF,can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy ….PLEAE STOP THINKIN WITH YOUR ASSHOLE!
Recently, Cardi announced she is expecting her third child with estranged husband Offset and swiftly dismissed the rumours.
The American Society of Hematology notes that anaemia can develop during pregnancy when the body fails to produce sufficient red blood cells.
Pregnant women are particularly susceptible due to the increased blood volume and the heightened demand for iron to deliver oxygen to the fetus.
Common symptoms of anaemia include fatigue, weakness, and a pale appearance of the skin.
