Cardi B Continues to Defend Offset, Says LGBT Community Should Educate Others

Cardi B’s latest round defending of defending Offset is quite the topic on social media. New York Daily News first captured the Periscope rant earlier this weekend, and Cardi is doubling down on her defense of her fiancé.

She reiterates that Offset meant no harm in the song lyric in the “Boss Life” song, and he never disrespects anyone from the LGBT community purposely.

NY Daily News writes:

“I’m not going to let somebody call him homophobic when I know that he’s not, and I’m saying this because I see him…around gays, and he treats them with the same respect he treats everybody. He never acts uncomfortable and he just don’t care,” she said.

Cardi — whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar — said that when she called the rapper to ask him why he’d use the word, he told her he was going off of a dictionary definition that defined it as meaning something different.

Cardi, 25, and Offset, 26, were engaged in October, though their relationship status remains unclear following a reported cheating scandal. She does not refer to him by name in the video, but instead calls him “this guy” with whom she has “personal problems.”

“A lot of people are not aware of what’s wrong or right in the LGBT community and that’s the thing. Why don’t we do things to educate instead of bashing and trying to label somebody (something) that they’re not?” she said. “A lot of people know what the F word means, but there’s certain words that people are not aware of. Our parents never taught us this s–t, our schools never teach us that these are bad words.”
