In retaliation, Cardi wrote back, "Stick to your diet." The mother-of-one was soon faced with criticism and accused of fat-shaming the young woman.

"She suppose to be an idol for girls not fat shaming young girls about their body and looks," wrote one user, while other added, "Just don’t talk about other’s people bodies. It is so hard to be fat and confident."

However, Cardi jumped back on the socials to defend herself against the backlash, sharing screenshots of the negative messages the aforementioned troll had privately messaged her.

"So she can continuously leave hate comments on my page and on dm but asoon as I tell her to stick to her diet which she claim she was on I’m fatphobic? Wtf is a fatphobic? LMAO! Lucky I ain’t said worst .Matter fact eat a d*ck!" she wrote.

Just don’t talk about other’s people bodies. It is so hard to be fat and confident. I understand that she was disrespectful but it doesn’t give you the right to fat-shame her. Also, you have like millions of followers who will bully her and you know it, so don’t play like this
