Cardi B’s doing what she does best—clapping back at haters.

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper responded to now-suspended X user @ordinarycourt, who reportedly edited Cardi’s appearance in Met Gala afterparty photos. According to AllHipHop, the user shared side-by-side images of Cardi’s look, writing, “This can’t be real omg.”

It seems one image was the real photo, allegedly taken from Getty Images, and the other was edited. Other users began to pile on, also mocking Bardi’s appearance. It’s unclear exactly what was edited since @ordinarycourt has been suspended from the platform.

Cardi slammed the troll, responding with a video of herself without makeup, lip-syncing Lady Gaga’s “G.U.Y.”

“Am I really that bad of a bitch that y’all always gotta edit my pictures to fake try to humble me wit insults on this app?” she wrote. “Anyways no filter, no makeup, just me and this wig I had on for days. THANK YOU!!”

When another user replied, writing, “my god she reeks of insecurity like it’s getting sad.”

Cardi fired back: “I’m insecure or do I make yall insecure to the point that you gotta go pull up my pictures then open a app and edit them because yall can’t stand how hard I step???”

On Monday, at the Met Gala, Cardi worked with Burberry’s Creative Director, Daniel Lee to create a green, floor-length embroidered coat and matching trousers.

For her after-party look, she donned a black lace-up corset-style gown.
