After she blasted the Dalai Lama for asking a child to suck his tongue, many felt Cardi was being a hypocrite for speaking out against predators given her past alleged behavior.

When Cardi B responded to the Dalai Lama asking a child to suck his tongue, she probably didn't expect a fair share of backlash her way. Yet, as she took to her social media to blast the religious leader for his actions, many clapped back and said she was guilty of similarly reprehensible behavior. "This world is full of predators," Cardi wrote on Twitter. "They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people wit money, power & our churches. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them."

However, those strong words weren't enough for fans who remembered her allegedly drugging men to rob them, bringing about accusations of assault as well. "I'm sorry I just don't want predator PSA's from a former/current predator!" one user tweeted. "No matter how you flip twist or turn it!" After seeing the response to her Instagram post, Cardi B fired back at the commenter. "Did I r*pe them? Touch them? Kiss them? Put my hand on their privates? Is taking money from somebody different than touching they bodies without consent? Cause there's a difference."

Cardi B Refutes Claims That She's A Predator

"So I’m seeing on social media that a Live I did 3 years ago has popped back up,” she explained about the controversy back in 2019. “A Live where I talked about things I had to do in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living. I never claim to be perfect or come from a perfect world with a perfect past. I always speak my truth, I always own my s**t. I'm a part of a hip hop culture where you can talk about where you come from talk about the wrong things you had to do to get where you are. I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very limited options. I was blessed to have been able to rise from that, but so many women have not.

"Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive." Cardi B added the following later that year: "I let people go with this narrative of me for a long time. Not once did I say I put s**t inside n***as drinks. I NEVER did that. These n***as use to get drunk, smoke maa weed party an hard and passed out. Never did I force n***as to come with me nowhere. Never did I f**k nobody. These Men used to disgust me sooo for the fact people keep calling me a r*pist when I didn’t even kiss these men it’s so crazy to me."
