Cardi B Comes Through For Tyla Amid VMAs Backlash

“Also I met Tyla in person. I’m 5’3″, so I’m already short, and she’s shorter than me,” the Invasion Of Privacy rapper continued. “No lie, she’s shaped really beautifully, but she’s very very skinny."

Oh, the VMAs—where dreams are made, and controversies are born! This time, Tyla, the stunning South African pop sensation, found herself at the centre of stormy criticism, and guess who decided to step up and defend her? None other than our favourite queen of rap, Cardi B!

Tyla’s recent victory at the VMAs was a moment to celebrate, but instead of cheers, she was met with backlash over a few social media sparklers.

Most notably, that fateful moment when she exuberantly handed her hard-won award to Lil Nas X, claiming it was too heavy.

Now, we all know that trophies can be a little hefty, but as Cardi aptly pointed out, asking for help can sometimes be a genius move. After all, even Beyoncé has her crew to lighten the load!

Addressing the entire hullabaloo in a recent Twitter space, Cardi emphasized that Tyla’s request for assistance isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an understandable need for camaraderie when the going gets tough.

“You gotta worry about motherf**kin’ doing a speech, looking good while you’re carrying a motherf**king’ 10-pound f**kin’ [award] in your motherf**kin’ hand. So I just don’t think you understand how f**king heavy those f**kin’ awards are,” the rap star said.

“Also I met Tyla in person. I’m 5’3″, so I’m already short, and she’s shorter than me,” the Invasion Of Privacy rapper continued. “No lie, she’s shaped really beautifully, but she’s very very skinny.

“Skinny like, Mariah-type skinny. She has to weigh like 109 pounds. So imagine you’re 109 pounds and you gotta carry a 10 f**king award with heels.”

“She literally asked Lil Nas X. Y’all are trying to make this into an, ‘Oh, how rude is she? She asked another female artist to hold her award like she’s the help.’ I love Halle but she didn’t even ask Halle to hold the award! She asked Lil Nas X, a man, to hold it.”

Cardi B also addressed the ‘Uppity Africans’ comment made by Joe Budden while criticizing the 22-year-old Afro-Pop singer.
