Cardi B Swears She Hasn’t Been Photoshopping Her Recent Instagram Pictures
Cardi B has been killing time in quarantine like many famous attention-loving people have, which is to say she’s been orchestrating half-naked photoshoots on her patio and uploading the best pic to Instagram. Cardi hasn’t let the (to quote Cardi herself) coronaVIIIRUS keep her down. But at the same time she was showing off her body on Instagram, a couple pictures of Cardi shopping at Target hit Twitter, which showed her body looking just a bit different. Cardi has quickly responded to accusations of overenthusiastic Photoshop use, by swearing that she’s got too much money to be tampering with her body in Photoshop.
Here’s the Two Cardis in question. The first is Cardi on Instagram, showing off a recent tattoo touch-up to her thighs and ass area, posted yesterday.
And here’s Cardi’s recent trip to Target, posted the same day, and caught by a fellow Target shopper.

If anything, those Target pictures are proof that Cardi loves a good deal. But some people on the internet think it’s a big clue that Cardi manipulates her social media pictures. Not long after the Target pictures went a little viral on Twitter, Cardi posted the following Instagram video to prove her body is her body, and also to call out anyone hating on her back rolls, which she implies were edited by some hater. She also acknowledged that she’s gained a couple extra pounds while in quarantine, which to be fair, who of us haven’t? I’ve been stress eating Costco cookies like they were prescribed to me by a professional.
Cardi says in that video:
“I have to do this video because I’m seeing you putting this edited Target picture of me looking like a motherfucking square. So I have to do this video because yesterday I posted a picture too spicy, and the haters claimed that I was Photoshopped, so now I gotta show y’all this motherfucking body. I know a bitch gained some weight. I have to make the thighs match the motherfucking ass I know y’all ain’t body shaming me. I know I gained a little weight…It doesn’t matter though. A bitch got lipo money.”
Maybe don’t use that as an argument, Cardi. Because lipo is the reason you lost money, remember?
She also called out any haters who laughed at that Target picture, by implying they have some nerve, in the event they are shaped like “seals” or their mothers are shaped like “walruses.” Cardi please, leave those poor lumpy marine mammals out of this.
Cardi continued to prove her body is really real by posting a few videos of some recent piercing work she had done. Her waist-to-hip ratio might not be real, but those nerve endings clearly are. Cardi got a labret piercing, as well as two new dermal piercings on her chest.
Unless Cardi was using one of those crazy body-altering video filters that digitally scoops out your waist, I’m sure what we saw in that bikini was the real deal. Yes, Cardi’s body clearly looks different on social media than it does in real life. But come on, there’s a reasonable explanation for that. In her Instagram pic, she’s crouched down with no underwear on, posing in beautiful, flattering natural sunlight. And in the second, she’s around in a store, wearing some errand-running casual clothes. In a retail store – that alone should disqualify those pictures for discussion. You can’t investigate anyone’s body while they’re being done absolutely dirty by overhead industrial fluorescent tube lighting.
