When Cardi B opens her mouth, you never know if you’re getting a cultural reset or pure chaos and sometimes, it’s both at once. This week, the Bronx rapper left fans gagging, clutching pearls, and laughing uncontrollably after a livestream moment where she declared that she knows about glory holes because “a gay man lives inside of me.” Yes, you read that right.
Cardi Explains Her Inner “Butch Queen”
In her video, Cardi B didn’t just dip her toe into queer slang, she cannonballed straight in. She told fans:
“You know what’s so funny everybody asking me like how do she know about glory hole? I be telling ya I am a gay man. There’s a gay man that lives inside me. A whole gay man. He’s a butch queen. He’s not a queen. He’s a butch queen. He’s not a queen. He’s not a butch queen. He’s not a deal. He’s a butch queen. He lives inside of me.”
Now, if you’re not versed in ballroom and queer culture, a “butch queen” refers to a gay man who blends masculine and feminine energies. Cardi tossing that around casually shows she stays tapped into queer lingo, even if her delivery was giving “drunk cousin at the cookout who won’t pass the mic.”
The Internet Reacts: From “WTF” to Illuminati Theories
Of course, Twitter and TikTok lit up. Some folks were confused:
- “I like her but wtf is she talkin about”
- “That’s called the devil ma’am”
- “She literally CANT HELP but Cosplay Nicki”
Others got messy, dragging Cardi into old-school Illuminati panic:
- “She means, there’s a demon living with her. The pact she made with the devil to gain fame and fortune”
- “If this was 2010, the illuminati allegations would have haunted her for the rest of her life”
And then there was the hilarious pushback from the gay community:
- “Glory holes aren’t just a gay thing… women be sucking dick through glory holes since the beginning of glory holes… but y’all would like to make us gay men seem like sex maniacs, while the whole time you know about glory holes because YOU was probably on one side of those walls… but lemme digress…”
Leave it to Twitter to turn a throwaway Cardi B quip into a discourse about homophobia, sex culture, and Stefon Diggs of all people (yes, one commenter swore “the only gay man inside of her is Stefon Diggs”).
Cardi Ties It Into Her New Single
The timing of Cardi’s “butch queen revelation” wasn’t random. She had already slipped a glory hole bar into her new single Imaginary Playerz, rapping:
“Gloryhole, bitches don’t know who they fuckin’ with…”
And honestly? That’s classic Cardi, mixing raunchy humor, street slickness, and camp energy into a lyric that makes you Google something at 2 a.m.
