Okay, first of all, same.
Cardi B finally dropped her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, today, which includes the 5x-platinum hit “Bodak Yellow” and the popular “Bartier Cardi.” She’s known for her boundary-pushing lyrics, but one Sapphic line caught our attention.
“I need Chrissy Teigen / Know a bad bitch when I see one / Tell RiRi I need a threesome,” the MC raps on “She Bad.”
Chrissy Teigen responded to the lyric this morning on Twitter, writing, “Gasp!! *drops biscuits*.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Cardi is no stranger to lady-loving lyrics, having also quipped “I might just feel on your babe” on “Bodak Yellow.” On “Bartier Cardi” with 21 Savage, she also raps, “Your bitch wanna party with Cardi … Cardi got your bitch on molly,” followed by, “Who took your bitch out to party? / I took your bitch in the party,” which can be interpreted a few different ways.
Regardless, it seems like the 25-year old rapper flirts with the idea of bisexuality, or at least dangles it in front of our face. In 2016, Cardi B revealed on The Breakfast Club that she’s dabbled with women in the past. Her sister, Hennessy, is queer and has a female partner.
Earlier this year, though, Cardi came under fire for defending her fiancée Offset, who rapped a homophobic lyric on a Migos song, claiming LGBTQ need to educate straight cis people better in order to prevent homophobia.
In case your queerness isn’t quenched, Cardi also featured bisexual R queen Kehlani on a track on Invasion of Privacy, “Ring.”
Here’s to all the queer women blushing at “She Bad” today. Stay strong.
