Even though we usually know her for her amazing hit songs and wicked sense of humor, Cardi B has taken to Twitter to share an important message with moms.
While many fans were initially confused by Cardi's plea for moms to stop leaving their children alone with their boyfriends, she actually brought awareness to a serious and common situation.
Take a look at the meaning behind her tweet and what others had to say.
She and her husband, Offset, named their daughter Kulture and announced her birth on Instagram.
She tweeted out that she hated changing diapers, and also revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that she had suffered from postpartum depression.
In 2018, she talked candidly about how people in the industry warned her that her child may slow down her career — but she had some words for them.
She is IS just like the rest of us.
While the tweets might seem a bit random, there is an important reason behind them.
"PLEASE STOP leaving ya kids with your boyfriends!" she said. "The devil is manipulating their minds especially when they are needy of attention."
Maleah's mother's fiancé has been charged in connection to her disappearance.
She really wanted to get the message across that women need to be mindful of who they bring around their children, or use as babysitters. Of course, this applies to all adults and not just men.
Cardi said that women should be weary of those around their vulnerable children, even if it is a boyfriend, "STOP LEAVING YOUR KIDS WITH YA BOYFRIENDS! PERIOD."
Sadly, this situation can be quite common, especially in situations of domestic abuse.
If you know a friend who is struggling with this situation, reach out and point them towards resources in the community who can offer free childcare or a safe place.
Being a full-time nanny for Cardi B is definitely a dream job for some people out there, but I doubt Cardi's looking on Twitter for Kulture's next babysitter.
It can be a difficult decision to make, but if your child's safety is at risk, you need to cut these people out of your life for the sake of your children.
Many agreed with the person above, stating specific relationships don't really matter — in the end it can be anyone.
Your children should definitely come before your partner, especially because they rely on you to keep them safe. You can't settle for "good enough" when it comes to the safety of your children!
Even though your children are your ultimately responsibility, some people saw this as Cardi making excuses for the men who behave abusively or inappropriately.
A lot of Twitter felt Cardi was being unfair to women by suggesting these men just needed more attention, or that more attention might have prevented their behavior.
If you see warning signs but are afraid to leave the relationship, ask a trusted friend or family member for help, or contact your nearest family shelter.
If you, or someone you know needs help, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hot Line at 1−800−799−7233, or visit their website here.
In the situation Cardi is referring to, it was a man who committed the crime, but some Twitter users felt that Cardi was generalizing all men as risks to children.
