Cardi B’s Thanksgiving message was lengthy but she did not hesitate to tell it to her followers. The singer included her professional accomplishments, as well as her personal happiness. She was over the moon and so thankful for what she labeled ‘one of the best years of her life.’

‘So much to thank for this year!!! I am forever grateful to God,’ Cardi B started her heartfelt post. She talked about the easy birth of her youngest child and her great love for him. The rapper also offered her thanks to the people all over the planet who listen to her music by calling them ‘the third cousins around the globe.’ He even joked that he doesn’t like to call them fans, but instead ‘third cousins around the globe.’

The rapper with three kids got very sentimental when she spoke about them saying that she enjoys ‘learning the different sides of their characters’ and that she gets ‘new lessons from them daily.’ On top of that, she talked about her pregnancy, expressing gratitude for having a ‘safe surgery and this lil boy who captured my heart,’ referring to her new baby son. She closed her writing by saying that she was ‘thankful for love’ and inviting the people to start celebrating Christmas time.

The post was connected to a video where Cardi B displays her raw side, rapping powerful lines that were completely opposite of the gentle tone of her writing. The video portrays her as very self-assured with phrases like ‘Life is a movie, mine will be a sexy’ and ‘Looking like the baddest bitch nigga ever,’ and the duality of her public persona is illustrated – ferocious on one side and nurturing mother on the other.

The two-sided reactions to Cardi B’s post were very much in line with the corresponding nature of her iconic status. Among the critics, there was one supporter who vigorously defended the artist writing ‘The hate in the comments goes crazy!! ALBUM IS AMAZING AND LOVE CARDI! F%K THE HATERS.’ This comment reflected many fans who were quick to compliment the rapper’s triumphant year.

Nonetheless, not every reaction was positive. One critic, for example, pointed at the present condition of hip-hop through their critique of Cardi B and lamented, ‘Hip hop is dead for real, man smh awful state right now.’ This viewpoint brought to light the ongoing contention about Cardi B’s place in the music industry and her artistic input.

At the same time, another user offered less harsh criticism, ‘Hopefully you learn more about Jesus and follow him more. You need to. You aren’t helping anyone right now.’ Such a comment expressed the concerns regarding the rapper’s influence and the kind of music she makes.

Negative comments were promptly countered by the supporters. A fan told of how he had introduced Cardi B’s music to older people in his family, sharing an excited story, ‘Love you and I recruited more BG!! My mom just turned 70 so we celebrated her but everyone was talking about your tour. Now we have a few more of us going to the show!’ This story showed how Cardi B’s appeal transcends generations.

The conversation took a very amusing turn when one user was talking about Offset, Cardi B’s ex-partner, and made a humorous comment: ‘POV. offset when he asks cardi what will u do to me when we link up 😬😂’ A laughing emoji accompanies the comment. This indicates that the fans continue to be very much involved in the celebrity’s personal life even when it is past her.

This year I have sooo much to be thankful for!!! I can’t thank God enough.. Thankful for all the hard work I put in and paid off wit a successful album, thankful for my fans around the world … I don’t even like callin yall fans more like third cousins around the globe… thankful… pic.twitter.com/YkagleWMWK

Another one who commented was very supportive and only the music part, saying ‘Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for the amazing music we got from you this year! Your album is 🔥. On repeat. ❤️❤️❤️’ The fire emojis indicated their excitement for the latest work of Cardi B.

Cardi B’s post of gratitude received mixed responses which reflect her complicated situation in the world of entertainment. While many criticize her for being unartistic and having no influence, she quietly maintains a very loyal fan base that rejoices in both her success and her development as a mother and as a person. Her ability to switch between savage and profane performances and vulnerable family-centered moments continues to define her exceptional celebrity status. Her recent remix with Jeezy and Latto is a perfect example of this versatility.

During the holiday season, Cardi B’s message serves as a reminder that probably the most successful musicians prefer their personal connections and family to professional triumphs. Her gratitude for both the progress of her career and her happy family life is that of an artist who, although very famous, still remains rooted in what truly matters. This sentiment was echoed in her heartfelt message for her newborn son.

Her professional life continues to expand, as seen with her new role as Chief Confidence Officer for baby formula brand Bobbie.

The debate over her legacy even sparked a hilarious debate between Joe Budden and Jada about her place on a hypothetical Mount Rushmore of hip-hop.
