Cardi B was brutally criticized by fans yesterday after it was revealed she has gone ahead to marry Offset even though he’s been cheating on her (read here). She then tried defending her decision by comparing herself to Beyonce who stuck with Jay-Z, but fans were not having it.

Cardi B earlier explained that she got married to Offset on a whim last September. She said they both woke up one day and their new relationship was going through a lot of “breaking up and making up” so they decided to get married so as not to lose each other (read here).

After fans called her out for intentionally getting into something which is unhealthy, she attempted to explain the reason for her decision. In a comment which she immediately deleted after fans lashed out at her, she pointed out that Beyonce stayed with Jay-Z after he cheated and it’s the same with her and Offset. She also mentioned that Coretta Scott King stayed with Martin Luther King though he was unfaithful.
