Cardi B Comments on Lizzo Getting Criticized for Using Ableist Lyric, Says She Would Have Told People to ‘SMD’
Cardi B shared her thoughts about Lizzo facing backlash earlier this week after the Bronx rapper’s name was brought into the situation on Twitter.
“Ya will do mental gymnastics to include me in anything that people are getting dragged for,” she wrote.
“People have called me out for plenty of shit .Yall do it every week SOMETHINGS I apologize for & some things I will tell y’all TO SUCK DICK & personally If I was Lizzo I would of said SMD.”
The “colorism” comment that mentioned Cardi was in response to another person bringing up that the Invasion of Privacy artist recently used the word “retarded” on Kay Flock’s song “Shake It.”
On Tuesday, Joey Badass chimed in on the Lizzo situation and had a similar response, saying that he would have told people to “SMD” if he were called out for using ableist language.
On Monday, Lizzo addressed the backlash she received for using the word, clarifying that she had no intentions of promoting an ableist term.
