Cardi B has defended her relationship with boyfriend Stefon Diggs in a light-hearted video.
Last week, fans criticised the National Football League (NFL) player for spending Christmas with his children from previous relationships rather than with the I Like It rapper and their newborn son.
But taking to X on Monday, Cardi - real name Belcalis Almánzar - shared a video with the caption, "We need a reset."
"Y'all need to calm down," she told the camera while lying down in bed. "Y'all been dragging me for three or four days, and y'all been a little too mean. I can't change s**t. I can't go back in time. I already had a baby. Y'all want me to put my baby back in my p**sy? You want me to leave my man and f**k yours? What y'all want me to do? We can only go forward now."
In the lead-up to Christmas Day, Cardi shared some sweet photos showing her attempts at getting festive photos with all of her four children, including the baby she welcomed with Stefon in November. The couple has not yet revealed the infant's name.
The music superstar also shares Kulture, seven, Wave, four, and Blossom, 14 months, with estranged husband Offset.
Accordingly, Cardi stressed that she has "so much work to do" in preparation for her upcoming tour.
"I'm gonna be away from my babies, away from my personal life, away from my home... I need my support system, my fans, to love me," the 33-year-old smiled. "I want y'all to come to my tour and enjoy yourselves with me. Don't be dragging me. That's enough!"
To conclude, Cardi declared, "Leave me alone, though. Damn. Y'all scare me sometimes!"
The Up hitmaker is set to kick off her 35-date Little Miss Drama Tour, in support of her second studio album, Am I the Drama?, on 11 February.
Cardi officially filed for divorce from Migos rapper Offset in July 2024, but the split is yet to be finalised.
