On August 5, Cardi B addressed the incident on her official X account, reacting to a post that highlighted her argument with the local resident just days after announcing her third pregnancy and filing for divorce from her husband, Offset. Cardi B wrote, “Why y’all trying to make me sound bad?? This was July 28th and I was defending them but ok.” She accompanied her post with laughing emoticons and shared the viral video to provide context to her followers.

The bystander’s astonishment at seeing the celebrity near their residential area echoed across social media, with many expressing disbelief that Cardi B was involved in such an altercation. “All of a sudden I heard Cardi B’s voice and I was like, ‘No way is that her.’ I turned around to see her and I was like, ‘No way, what the f–k?’” the bystander recounted.
This incident comes amidst significant personal developments for Cardi B. The rapper announced her pregnancy just one day after filing for divorce from Offset, with whom she has had a tumultuous relationship since their marriage in September 2017. The couple has experienced multiple separations, primarily due to Offset’s alleged infidelity. Cardi B filed for divorce in September 2020, only to call it off later.
Cardi B’s public response to the incident reflects her characteristic candor and willingness to engage with her fans directly. While the video and subsequent reactions have generated substantial buzz, Cardi B’s focus on defending her actions highlights her commitment to standing up for herself and those around her.
