Cardi B has addressed the situation where edited photos of her from the Met Gala were circulating online and trolls were attempting to criticize her appearance to undermine her. The altered pictures were compared to her original Met Gala afterparty look, prompting negative comments and ridicule from social media users.

In response, Cardi B posted a video of herself without makeup, lip-syncing to a Lady Gaga song, questioning why people feel the need to edit her pictures and insult her on social media. She emphasized her natural appearance and dismissed the unnecessary alterations made to her photos, expressing gratitude for being herself.

When a commenter accused Cardi of insecurity, she confidently defended herself, suggesting that her success and confidence provoke others to edit and criticize her photos out of their own insecurity and jealousy.

At the Met Gala, Cardi made a striking appearance in a custom green Burberry suit by Daniel Lee, inspired by Victorian-era menswear and dandy fashion. She later changed into a black dress and blonde wig for the evening.

Speaking about the pressure of attending the Met Gala, Cardi acknowledged the high expectations placed on her and the continuous improvement she aims for each year. Despite feeling nervous, she embraces the challenge and sees it as an opportunity to showcase her superstar status.
