Cardi B says she “underestimated” the amount of 3X-large shirts she should have stocked for her upcoming album, saying she didn’t realize she had “fat” fans.
As part of the rollout for her long-awaited sophomore effort, Am I The Drama?, the rapper made limited edition CD box sets available for preorder. The boxes, created in collaboration with WWE ahead of her SummerSlam appearance, included a specially designed T-shirt, her new CD, and a signed art card.
On Friday (Aug. 1), one of Cardi’s fans pointed out on social media platform X that the Bardi Gang “cleared out” all of the boxes that came with 3XL-sized shirts.
The rapper hopped on an Instagram Live to address the sellout, explaining the 3XL sizes sold out in 20 minutes.
“We really underestimated the box sets,” Cardi said near the 20-second mark in the video linked above. “So the box sets are completely sold out, especially because you fat fucks—clearly you guys are fat as fuck, no Chick-fil-A for y’all.”
She continued, “Now, knowing that my fans is fat—I can’t even make fun of fat people no more. Don’t call me fatphobic, y’all, ‘cause everybody make fun of my BBL.”
The “Outside” rapper, while helping herself to a large Chick-fil-A beverage, declared her livestream as a “body-shaming space.”
“I could body shame people cause y’all body-shame me. If y’all body shame me, I could body shame y’all. This is a body-shaming space,” Cardi explained. “You could talk about my body and I talk about yours, so it doesn’t matter. I call you fat, though it’s not a big deal. You can talk about my BBL all day, but I haven’t talked about you being fat all day.”
Cardi B’s Am I The Drama? arrives on Sept. 19.
