'It’s Ok To Speak Up!': Cardi B Speaks Out About Sexual Assault

In one of her tweets, Cardi B shed some light on Sexual Assault Awareness Month saying "Before April is over, don’t forget it’s sexual assault awareness month, no means no!” She then pointed out that it is never the victim’s fault as she continued with "It doesn’t matter what you wear, it doesn’t matter who you are, male or female. For anyone going through this, the shame is not yours to carry… it’s the monsters who do this."

As a mother of two herself, Cardi B made sure in a follow-up tweet to advise parents to look after their kids with the amount of "sick people” out there.

The rapper was reminded of her own family, which includes her three-year-old daughter Kulture and her seven-month-old son Wave with her husband Offset, while speaking up about Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

She wrote “Also parents we can’t forget our children,” and continued to give advice to parents, saying “There are sick people everywhere, daycare, schools, you name it. Make sure you teach them from an early age, no one is to touch your private parts & never be afraid to tell mommy & daddy when someone makes you uncomfortable.”

Cardi B wanted her words to reach many people as she shared her tweets in a post on her Instagram account where she has 129 Million followers.

She added to her statement by saying "We have to be more careful in protecting ourselves and our children by teaching them that there are no secrets when it comes to mommy and daddy.”

She ended her post by encouraging people to speak up as she said "When one person speaks up it helps others see they are not alone.”

Some people ignored Cardi’s important words and instead brought up her Instagram live in 2019 where she spoke up about what she had to go through to reach the place that she has in the music industry.

In her live back then, Cardi said “I had to go strip, I had to go, ‘Oh yeah, you want to f— me? Yeah, let’s go back to this hotel.’ And I drugged n—as up and I robbed them. That’s what I used to do.”

The rapper didn’t let this backlash distract her from the important topic she was trying to advise people, as she wrote in a comment shared by The Neighborhood Talk where she said “I’ve addressed this before but I see some still want to run with the narrative so let me make this clear. Going through a man pockets cause they think they can take advantage of you and raping and molesting someone are two VERY different things. But I guess… don’t let the message go over ya heads cuz of hate. It’s bigger than that.”

We can’t argue with Cardi B because sexual assault awareness should be bigger than any topic!
