Cardi B had her beloved fans, affectionately called #BardiGang, more than a little worried earlier this week when she took to Twitter to suggest she was considering self-harm.
Posting she wanted to “put in a bullet in her head” on Wednesday (October 18), the tweet came after a virtual fisticuffs with users on the platform who made jokes about her being “the only Mexican that don’t work hard” – an undoubted reference to the 5-year gap between her first album (2018’s ‘Invasion of Privacy‘) and its yet-released follow-up.
“IDGAF F-ck y’all … y’all can call me Mexican,” she said in response to the harsh criticism at the time. “[You can] bring me down and hurt my feelings talk sh-t about everything – that’s why I don’t release music.”
Taking to Instagram later in the week, the GRAMMY winner shared that she’s calmed down since the incident and supporters shouldn’t worry about her mental health.

On Instagram Live this Thursday (October 19), Cardi addressed her fans’ concerns directly after they feared she was considering going through with hurting herself.
“When I burst, I’m very outspoken,” she said as seen in the video above captured by our friends at HHDX. “When I get into one of my bad moments, I will literally curse everybody out, and I’ll be f-ckin’ like, ‘I want you to die. B-tch, I wanna die. I don’t give a f-ck!’ Because that’s just how I’ll be feeling in the moment.”
Continuing, she clarified that the feelings were fleeting and were not necessarily reflective of her true intentions.
“I was just very overwhelmed yesterday. I was very sad. And, I don’t know — I feel like I was just having such a good week, and then, when I got home, and I started paying attention to so much shit that people were saying about me, and all the funny shit about me,” she relayed. “I just started getting upset about it.”
