Cardi B Defends Tyla Against “Uppity African” Comments
American rapper Cardi B recently took to X (formerly known as Twitter) Spaces to defend South African singer Tyla after derogatory comments labeled her an “entitled uppity African.” Since rising to international fame, Tyla has faced backlash from both local and global audiences, particularly following her recent experience at the VMA Awards.
The controversy began when Tyla was unable to hold her VMA Award for Best Afrobeats, leading some to criticize her for asking musician Halle Bailey to assist. Cardi B stepped in, clarifying that Tyla had actually asked Lil Nas X to hold the award, challenging the narrative that portrayed Tyla as rude for seeking help. “I love Halle, but she didn’t even ask her to hold her award; she asked Lil Nas X, a man!” Cardi asserted.
The situation escalated when YouTuber Armon Wiggins referred to Tyla as an “uppity African,” a term suggesting entitlement. Cardi B condemned this kind of online bullying, emphasizing that Tyla, only 22, is simply trying to navigate the American music scene. She expressed concern that Tyla might regret winning the VMA, saying, “If she had known it would have brought so much hate, she was probably crying that night.”
Cardi’s passionate defense highlights the importance of supporting artists facing unwarranted criticism and the need for compassion in the industry.
It took American Rapper, Cardi B whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus, just eight days after giving birth to her third child with her estranged husband Offset—whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus—to resume her fitness routine.
She posted on her Instagram Story on Sunday night about how, during a 30-minute StairMaster session, she felt as like she was “dying.”
The happy mom emphasized that because she was still less than two weeks postpartum, she was simply doing cardio in the evening.“No heavy lifting, no weight, just straight stair master until next week,” she stated, adding that she would be working with a trainer soon.
The Grammy Award winner informed fans that she has experience with this, despite the fact that she was working hard just before her daughter was born.
“Remember ladies, this is my third baby,” Cardi, who had daughter Kulture in 2018 and son Wave in 2021, stated in the video. “With my other 2 babies I was still on bedrest on my first week postpartum.”
In a another video that Cardi posted on her Instagram Stories, she showed herself climbing 80 floors and burning almost 240 calories.
