Cardi B has come out in support of South African star Tyla amidst recent controversies. Tyla, who has been facing backlash for various reasons, including discussions about her race, Grammy win, dance with Usher, and her recent VMAs victory, received criticism.
At the VMAs, Tyla sparked conversation when she handed her award to Lil Nas X, claiming it was too heavy. This action raised different interpretations among viewers and became a hot topic of discussion.
One particular moment at the VMAs that caught attention was when Tyla gave her award to Lil Nas X, citing that it was too heavy. This gesture sparked conversation and different interpretations among viewers.
During a recent Twitter Space discussion, Cardi B highlighted the importance of Tyla asking for help and explained the practicality behind her request to lighten the load of her award.
“You gotta worry about motherf**kin’ doing a speech, looking good while you’re carrying a motherf**king’ 10-pound f**kin’ [award] in your motherf**kin’ hand. So I just don’t think you understand how f**king heavy those f**kin’ awards are,” the rap star said.
“Also I met Tyla in person. I’m 5’3″, so I’m already short, and she’s shorter than me,” the Invasion Of Privacy rapper continued. “No lie, she’s shaped really beautifully, but she’s very very skinny. Skinny like, Mariah-type skinny. She has to weigh like 109 pounds. So imagine you’re 109 pounds and you gotta carry a 10 f**king award with heels.”
“She literally asked Lil Nas X. Y’all are trying to make this into an, ‘Oh, how rude is she? She asked another female artist to hold her award like she’s the help.’ I love Halle but she didn’t even ask Halle to hold the award! She asked Lil Nas X, a man, to hold it.”
Cardi B also addressed the ‘Uppity Africans’ comment made by Joe Budden while criticizing the 22-year-old Afro-Pop singer.
