Cardi B Accused of Skin Bleaching? Trolls Say Her Face Is “Melting”—She Claps Back! Plus, Summer Walker Is Single Again!

The summer drama in the world of hip-hop and R&B is hotter than ever! From Summer Walker’s whirlwind romance and breakup to wild rumors about Cardi B’s appearance, social media is ablaze with opinions, shade, and clapbacks.

Summer Walker—Single Again After a “Dramatic” Relationship

Let’s start with Summer Walker and rapper Rico Reckless. The two began dating in late 2024, but from the start, fans doubted they were a good match—especially after learning that Rico had been persistently DMing Summer for 7-8 years without a reply. He even admitted in an interview that his attempts bordered on stalking, only interrupted by his stints in jail.

Despite this, when they finally got together, Summer was open about her happiness. She gushed on social media:
“In just four months, he’s taken me on the nicest yacht and to the best hotel I’ve ever been to, gave me the best Valentine’s Day. I’m a rich girl, so there’s not much I haven’t seen, but he always goes above and beyond for me.”

However, the fairytale didn’t last. Summer took to Instagram to announce her single status:
“Yes, I’m single, but don’t get weird about it. I can’t even think about being with another man—I love Rico, he really is a sweet man when he wants to be. Things just didn’t align because we’re from two different worlds. Let’s move on without creating false narratives.”

She added, “Honestly, I’m just over men. I find more peace being alone. Let’s normalize moving on without drama—no disrespect, no hard feelings, just lessons and love.”

Fans had mixed reactions. Some supported her decision, while others joked, “She’ll have a new man by Christmas!” or pointed out that Summer always seems head over heels with every boyfriend—until the breakup. Regardless, she made it clear: she’s moving forward with no bad blood.

Cardi B Faces Skin Bleaching Rumors—And Responds!

Now, onto Cardi B, who found herself at the center of a social media storm after unflattering Getty Images surfaced. Trolls began mocking her, claiming her face looked like it was “melting” and accusing her of skin bleaching because she appeared much lighter than usual.

Cardi didn’t stay silent. She fired back on Twitter, posting a video captioned:
“Am I really that bad of a b-word that y’all always gotta edit my pictures to try to humble me? No filter, no makeup, just me and this wig I’ve had on for days. Thank you.”

She addressed a critic who accused her of being insecure:
“Am I insecure, or do I make y’all insecure to the point you gotta pull up my pictures and edit them because you can’t stand how hard I step?”

Comments under videos and photos from events like the Met Gala exploded with speculation:

“Bleached to the max. So many surgeries, she doesn’t even look like herself anymore.”
“When did she turn white? This is sad.”
“Poor girl is bleaching her skin. She’s never been this white ever.”
“She hates the way she looks so much—who is this white woman?”

Cardi B, known for her candidness, didn’t let the negativity faze her. She joked about her unique mix of accents and even called herself a “vampire,” blaming her pale look on not getting enough sun—not on skin bleaching.

What’s Next?

With Summer Walker embracing single life and Cardi B shutting down rumors and prepping for her next album, it’s clear that these women aren’t letting the drama slow them down. As always, the internet has plenty to say—but both stars are writing their own narratives.
