American rapper Cardi B accidentally shared a topless picture of herself on her official Instagram account. She later took down the picture and clarified the same through a voice memo on Twitter.

People initially suspected that the picture was leaked following a hack. But Cardi B mentioned in her Instagram story that she did not wish to sue anybody. She also said in the voice note that this was not the first time that something like this had happened, and that she wouldn't think about the incident or beat herself up over it. Explaining the issue to her followers on social media, Cardi B stated, "I'm leaning in the f—king bed, right? And I'm telling Offset (her husband), 'Yo I feel like…I'm taking the f—ing picture' and then I f—ing press and I see that it's loading and I'm like 'Oh my God! Oh my God, Offset! Oh my God, the picture's loading!' By the time I turned my phone on and deleted that s—t, everybody and their mom saw. They were all over the internet." Cardi B later replied to a troll who criticized her body. "why yo areolas so big (sic)," the social media user had asked, to which Cardi B replied, "cause i breastfeed a baby for 3 months t—ties got bigger so nipples got bigger [shrug]."

Cardi B also mentioned in her voice note that she was going to pretend that the incident never happened and go on with her life. "Lord, Lord, why the f— you have to make me so stupid and r–arded? Why? Why? Why? Why? You know what, I'm never going to beat myself up about it. I'm going to eat my breakfast, and then I'm going to go to a party because I'm not even going to think about it. I am not going to think about it, okay? Nope, no I'm not. I'm not. It is what it is. S— happens. F— it, it's not even the first time. I mean, I used to f—ing be a stripper so whatever," she added.
