New York-born lyricist Cardi B has never been one to censor herself, which is precisely why fans love her. Unfortunately, it seems Twitter isn't so fond of her often-salacious nature, as the mother of two's account was hit with a shadow ban following her NSFW response to a video of Janelle Monáe. If you somehow didn't hear, the Dirty Computer songstress practically broke the internet last week with a video of her bare breasts being flashed to her audience during a performance, among other antics.
When she came across the footage, Cardi took the opportunity to thirst after Monáe the way many fans have – shamelessly. As Uproxx reports, she used an image of the reality star and OnlyFans content creator Natalie Nunn hooking up with another woman to express her feelings, though the message was quickly taken down. In the days following, the rap diva seems to have noticed a substantial difference in her Twitter engagement, as she reached out to CEO Elon Musk with a public plea for help.
Cardi B Turns to Elon Musk for Help
"I'm shadow banned 'cause I posted a picture of somebody getting their [t*tty] sicked," she wrote on Tuesday (May 16). "@elonmusk please unshadow ban me. I won't do it again," Bardi further pleaded. That most, like the original one that got her in trouble, has since been deleted as well, though we nabbed a screenshot before the removal. Seeing as the South African engineer will only be head honcho of the social media platform for a short period, it remains unclear if he'll still have the authority to help the Grammy Award winner following his demotion.
It's worth noting that her post's impressions are noticeably lower than in the past, prior to her expressing interest in Monáe. Do you think Elon Musk should help Cardi B out with her shadow ban situation? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
