Cardi B’s name has been in the headlines a lot recently and people haven’t stopped weighing in with their opinions. Well, the “I Like It” hitmaker is sick and tired of everyone talking, especially about her family and went off on social media to let everyone know she’s had it.

Cardi took to X Spaces on Jan. 5 and blasted people for wrongfully accusing her father, Carlos Almánzar, of being a sex offender. 

“Y’all know I don’t play about my father. Y’all know I’m very close with my father,” Cardi stated. “I’m not gonna let ya’ll play around with my father’s name … I don’t know why y’all like playing these games just for you to be fake mad when I post who got those real mugshots, real evidence, AND REAL cases for rape. Stop playing wit me and my family and leave me the fck alone fr before I start some s*** today … y’all mother******* is deranged!”

This claim went viral when screenshots circulated online (attributed to X’s AI assistant, Grok) alleging that Almanzar served five years in Nassau County for attempted rape in 1993.

Following Cardi’s fiery post, the mistake was acknowledged by Grok with an apology in a response that read, “Based on my latest review of public records and sources, there is no verifiable evidence that Cardi B’s father, Carlos Almanzar, is a sex offender. Past rumors appear unfounded, as denied by Cardi. If an earlier Grok response implied otherwise, it was inaccurate–apologies for any confusion.”

The rapper also called out people who think she’s a hypocrite since she talked about robbing people in the past, saying, “And for y’all to be talking about, ‘Oh, she drugged and robbed…’ And I’ll rob them for real. I hate men and I don’t give a f***.”
