Cardi B hits back at accusations of homophobia and transphobia: “I support the LGBT community”

The rapper previously came out as bisexual

Cardi B has hit back at accusations that she is homophobic and transphobic, having previously revealed that she identifies as bisexual.

The rapper, who is married to MigosOffset, previously said that she is a “whole bisexual” after having past relationships with women.

But she has since defended herself after a Twitter user accused her of both homophobia and transphobia.

I said some ignorant things b4 that apologised for & educated myself on it don’t mean I’m homo [sic],” Cardi replied on Twitter.

She added: “Ya keep using that same 1 video that I apologise for over & over again to call me homophobic & transphobic 1 but never post about the ones where I support the LGBT community which are multiples and the multiple tweets I posted in support [sic].”

The rapper, real name Belcalis Almanzar, went on to explain how other family members have previously struggled with their sexuality, including her sister.

“And I don’t support the LGBT community because I have “gay fans” I support because of the confused feelings I had growing up on is it normal to like girls?,” she said.
