While music-lovers were overwhelmed with excitement when artists Rita Ora, Cardi B, Bebe Rexha, and Charli XCX teased their upcoming record, “Girls,” the song’s release was met with some pushback. The LGBTQ+ community was not pleased, and proceeded to voice their opinions on the controversial lyrics. They claimed the language was offensive and insensitive to the stories of bisexual women. Rita Ora was the first to apologize, and now Cardi B chimes in. Read below as the “Bodak Yellow” rapper sends a PSA on Twitter apologizing for the offensive language.
