Cardi B Denies Posting Transphobic Meme on Her Official Facebook Page
Cardi B denied Sunday that she posted a transphobic meme on her official Facebook, blaming the offensive post on a former employee with access to her account.
“It’s come to my attention that there have been offensive posts made on what used to be my Facebook page,” she wrote. “For the past year and a half a FORMER team member has been the only one with access to the account.”
TheWrap was able to capture the post, which has since been deleted.
