Cardi B clapped back at an X follower this week after she asked if the rapper was altering her skin color.
The hitmaker – real name Belcalis Marlenis Cephus – harshly barked back at the fan as she said she would never do something so dangerous while pregnant.
The singer also told the fan she was ‘dumb’ and thinking with her ‘a**h***.’
The 31-year-old Bodak Yellow hitmaker is expecting her third child with estranged husband Offset.
Skin bleaching is a common cosmetic practice worldwide, however, many use skin bleaching products to lighten their complexion, according to MedicalNewsToday.
That is dangerous as ‘there is no safe or reliable way to lighten someone’s skin tone’ with bleach.

The fuss started on Wednesday when a follower on the social media platform X asked if she had lightened her skin after looking at a photo of Cardi with her bare baby bump.
Her skin did appear lighter, but it was likely due to the camera’s flash.
The rapper got upset with the accusation, even calling the fan ‘dumb’ as she asked her to stop thinking with her ‘a**h***.’
Cardi said she appeared lighter because the pregnancy has been hard on her as she is now anemic.
‘Bleaching while pregnant [three sad face emojis]? Why must yall be so dumb? Actually NO! I’m pregnant I’m slightly anemic, this baby suckin all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale, eyes sunken, veins green ASF, can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy… PLEASE STOP THINKIN WITH YOUR A**H***!’
Cardi also named the X user.

Earlier this month Cardi said she feared she’d suffered a miscarriage after having a ‘freak accident’.
The 31-year-old rap star has revealed via social media that she recently suffered a health scare that left her fearing for the life of her unborn baby.
Cardi – who already has Wave, two, and Kulture, six, with her estranged husband Offset – said on X: ‘I had a f****** freak accident.
‘I don’t know how something, well, it wasn’t little. It actually hurt.
‘It doesn’t really happen often, but it became something that is so big to the point I was literally paralysed. But yeah. And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come. But it didn’t. Yesterday I was feeling good. I came home, but I came home high as a kite.
‘Today, I woke up sober, honey. I’m dying. Like, I’m dying.
‘I swear to God, if I don’t feel good in four hours I’m going to the hospital and I don’t give a f***. I’mma exaggerate this s*** so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn. Oh my God.’

Cardi only recently announced her pregnancy via a post on social media.
The award-winning rap star – who has filed for a divorce from Offset – said on Instagram: ‘With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!
‘Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!
‘I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!
‘It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through! (sic)’
