Cardi B called out “dumb” speculations about her complexion while pregnant with her and estranged husband Offset’s third child together. 

The “Bodak Yellow” singer clapped back at an X user Wednesday after they reposted a recent photo of the rapper and questioned if she has “been bleaching her skin.”

“Bleaching while pregnant? Why must yall be so dumb?” Cardi replied.





The “WAP” rapper revealed the reason her skin tone looks a little different is because she has anemia — an iron deficiency resulting in a low number of red blood cells. Mild anemia during pregnancy is common, according to Mayo Clinic.

For decades, sodium restriction has been a cornerstone in the management of heart failure, driven by the belief that reducing salt intake helps control fluid retention and improve outcomes. Heart failure is marked by the activation of the renin-angiotensin and noradrenergic systems, leading to fluid retention. Consequently, limiting sodium intake has been seen as a way to mitigate these effects and reduce edema and other complications associated with heart failure.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.
