Cardi B took to social media this weekend to forcefully reject a viral rumor accusing her father, Carlos Almanzar, of being a convicted attempted rapist. The claim, which spread widely in screenshot form on X and other platforms, cited fabricated public records and alleged a conviction in Nassau County in the early 1990s.
In direct posts, the Bronx‑born rapper called the narrative “false” and “disgusting,” making it clear that her father has never been arrested on any such charge. She pointed out that he came to the United States as a Dominican Republic immigrant and maintained that if he had committed such a crime, he would have been deported, undermining the online allegation entirely.
Cardi B also stressed how reprehensible it is to weaponize rape allegations for social media engagement, especially against family members. She warned those sharing the misinformation that she might pursue legal action, emphasizing she does not take attacks on her loved ones lightly.
The controversy follows a continued backdrop of online fanbase feuds and sensational claims that often swirl around Cardi B’s name. Despite the noise, the rapper’s clear and outspoken rebuttal appears designed to put the matter to rest and protect her family’s reputation.
