Cardi B has made headlines since confessing through her Twitter account that a three-year-old video circulating where she admitted to drugging and robbing men for money was authentic. She went into a lengthy statement via Twitter that explained the crimes were part of her past and her need for survival. She stated that the men were all people she was  involved with and they were conscious, willing, and aware.

This statement has been met with mixed reactions from people on social media. In fact, one of her alleged victims (He states that Cardi B drugged and robbed him, yet this has not been proven in a court of law), has compared her to Bill Cosby in a series of videos he posted to his Instagram. Other social media users have likened her to Cosby as well as Grammy-singer R. Kelly.

Those who believe the victim and have felt that Cardi B should be held accountable are using the hashtags #SurivingCardi and #SurvivingCardiB that was inspired by the Lifetime docuseries Surviving R Kelly.

Though there is a slow movement underway to “cancel” Cardi B., for the most part, her confession and the allegations made by Jack King are falling on deaf ears. This has caused people to say that there is a double standard between men and women.
