Cardi B has joined the chorus of people upset over a viral video of a group of “mean girls” in Texas who taunted a young woman at a recent Houston Astros game.
The clip went viral over the weekend and was at over 36 million views and counting as of Monday (April 24). In the video, TikTok user Jackie La Bonita shows a pair of girls looking at her camera and flicking the middle finger at her, sticking their tongues out and shouting “lame” as they laugh.
“I would of put that ring to use,” Cardi tweeted, referring to the large ring Jackie was wearing in the clip.

Never one to hold her tongue, Cardi B recently spoke out against child predators following a viral video of the Dalai Lama kissing a young boy on the mouth, and following it up with an invitation to “suck his tongue,” before sticking it out and leaning towards the boy.
“This world is full of predators,” she wrote in response. “They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people wit money, power & our churches. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them.”
Cardi also shared that her mother wouldn’t allow her to have sleepovers when she was younger — and though she thought her mother’s concern was a sign of being overprotective, she understands why she did what she did today, as a mother herself.
There were some people on Twitter who felt that the former Love & Hip Hop star was the “wrong messenger” to deliver that message, given her past troubles with the law.
And to this, Cardi B took to Instagram Live to discuss how her concerns were justified. And though His Holiness The Dalai Lama subsequently issued an apology for his behavior, Cardi B wasn’t having it.
“Didn’t you used to rob and drug men?” she said sarcastically, presumably imitating those who were attempting to denigrate her contributions to the conversation. “Listen, y’all not gonna keep doing this. Because when it comes to weird ass predators, and rapists, and pedophiles, and shit, I’m really like, I don’t play that shit.
“And for y’all to say that I’m some kind of predator, or some kind of weird bitch, because n-ggas wanted to buy pussy from me — and a lot of y’all were like, oh, these are vulnerable men you took advantage of — these weren’t no vulnerable men,” she continued. “These were some freak ass n-ggas that like to go to the strip club, they like to get drunk … and after the strip club is closed, they like to take advantage of bitches.
“And because of that tweet, people wanna be like, oh, you the wrong messenger,” she concluded. “How am I the wrong messenger, bitch? I’m the right messenger. I’m a fucking mom.”
