Rapper Cardi B just tweeted that she has had “a lot” of romantic experiences with women.
Last week, Rita Ora came out with a single “Girls” – which featured Cardi B, Bebe Rexha, and Charli XCX – that was meant to be a bisexual anthem, but instead received criticism from LGBTQ people about its lyrics that presented bisexuality as a way to titillate straight men.
On Monday, Ora apologized for the song’s lyrics and said that they “represent my truth.”

In her verse on “Girls,” Cardi B rapped about being “lipstick” and wanting “a kitten” instead of “a dog.”
Now I could be your lipstick, just for one night
Girls just wanna have fun and have their funds right […]Tonight, I don’t want a dog, I want a kitten
I might French a girl from Great Britain
Last year, Cardi B announced her engagement to the rapper Offset.
