Earlier this month, Cardi B announced that she’s pregnant with her third child.

Cardi already shares two kids — Kulture, 6, and Wave, 2 — with her estranged husband, Offset, whom she has since filed for divorce from.
In fact, the news of Cardi’s divorce and third pregnancy broke on the same day. Sharing photos of herself cradling her baby bump on Instagram, she wrote, “With every ending comes a new beginning!”
This week, Cardi shared a sweet photo of her friend touching her bump.

Sadly, Cardi’s appearance in the photograph prompted some X (formerly Twitter) users to speculate that she’d bleached her skin.

But Cardi wasted no time shutting the speculation down. Responding to one user, the artist wrote, “Bleaching while pregnant 😒😒😒. Why must yall be so dumb ?”

Cardi went on to explain that while her skin is more pale than usual, it’s because of her pregnancy.
