Cardi B isn’t letting trolls color-shame her amid her third pregnancy with her estranged husband Offset. The Bodak Yellow rapper responded to an X user on Wednesday, August 21, after they insinuated the 31-year-old rapper was “bleaching her skin.”

“Bleaching while pregnant? Why must y’all be so dumb?” Cardi fired back before issuing a detailed explanation for her lighter skin color lately.

“Actually, no! I’m pregnant, I’m slightly anemic. This baby’s sucking all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale, eyes sunken, veins green ASF,” the mother of two clarified. Cardi quickly added that she can’t even tan under the sun because she gets hot super fast and dizzy, which could be a health hazard while carrying a child. “Please stop thinking with your A******!” she concluded.

The skin-bleaching argument started after Cardi posted a picture of her pal caressing her bare pregnant belly on X, where it simply looks like the camera flash caught the rapper at an odd angle, making her skin look lighter than usual.

Recently, a California appeals court ruled in favor of Michael Jackson’s estate, paving the way for a $600 million sale of the late singer’s catalog to Sony Music. This decision was made despite objections from his mother, Katherine Jackson, who argued that the sale was against Jackson’s wishes. However, the court determined that the sale was authorized by John Branca and John McClain, the executors of Jackson’s estate, under the very broad powers granted to them by his will.

In its final decision, issued after an earlier tentative ruling against Katherine’s objections, the court noted that Jackson’s will empowered the executors to sell assets of the estate, including those involved in this transaction with Sony. Additionally, the court rejected Katherine’s appeal on procedural grounds, citing her failure to present her arguments before a lower probate court, as reported by Billboard.

The lawyers representing Katherine Jackson have remained silent about the judgment rendered by this appellate court. According to the aforementioned outlet, the court stated, “The will gave the executors broad powers of sale, with no exception for the specific assets at issue in this case. As such, [a lower judge] did not err in concluding that it was Michael’s intent to allow the executors to sell any estate assets, including those at issue in the proposed transaction.”

Earlier reports revealed plans for Sony Music to purchase half of Michael Jackson‘s catalog in a deal valued at over $600 million, first reported in 2022. Since the Beat It singer passed away over fifteen years ago in 2009, his estate has continued to be administered through a Los Angeles probate court. Consequently, Judge Mitchell Beckloff was compelled to grant permission for the undisclosed agreement, which was facilitated by the estate’s representatives, trustees John Branca and John McClain.
