Cardi B is not messing around when it comes to trolls making accusations about her father. A post went viral accusing Cardi's father, Carlos Almanzar, of being a convicted rapist. The post had screenshots of alleged public records and a text.

"Carlos Almanzar to be exact was convicted of raping a 14-year-old girl in 1988. He was set [sic] to prison for five years and was released on 2/4/1993," the text read. "That's the very reason his daughter may be so protective over who exactly knows her father."

The next screenshot showed Carlos Almanzar's name on a list from the Nassau County arrest records database. The screenshot also shows the names of possible family members which include Cardi B. Following that screenshot, it shows his name with the release date of 2/4/1993 like the previous text mentioned. Lastly, there was a throwback shot of him and Cardi smiling.

"First it was the video lying on Offset, now it’s lies on my dad," she wrote, quote-tweeting the post. "I’m pretty sure ya know offenders have to take a pic every year."

"Keep it cute on family…Especially offenders, pedos, and molesters cuz everybody gonna wanna cry when I start talking about the real p---- snatchers."

Fans believe she was subliminally calling out Nicki Minaj with the second part of her tweet, as it is known that her husband, Kenneth Petty, spent four years in prison for attempting to rape Jennifer Hough in the 90s. She was 16 at the time, and so was Petty. Nicki's brother, Jelani Maraj, was sentenced to 25 years to life in 2020 for raping an 11-year-old girl.

Offset Vs. Kenneth Petty

This comes after an undated clip of Petty and some of his friends were posted up outside a New York hotel where Cardi and Offset were staying at the time.

"Sturdy, n----. What’s poppin?" Petty says in the video. "Where n----- is at, man? Huh? Plan that vacation but we’re planning your funeral, p----."

Offset seemingly responded in a video posted to his social media accounts. The Migos rapper was seen exiting a private jet and laughing off the video Petty made.

"I’m getting off a jet, he’s funny," Offset chuckled in the video. "F--- these n----- talmbout? … These n----- broke! We hoppin’ off jets. Y’all n----- standing outside talmbout 'outside.' Extremely broke!"
