American rap star Cardi B, born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, has explained why she cannot practise Islam, citing a lack of discipline for Ramadan fasting.
In a viral video circulating online, the Grammy-winning rapper spoke candidly about her difficulty with going long hours without food.
She joked that after just a few hours of hunger, she begins to feel unwell, adding that fasting would be too challenging for her.
Cardi B noted that hunger significantly affects her mood, forcing her to isolate herself, even from her children, and avoid using her phone.
Despite this, she expressed deep respect for Muslims who observe Ramadan, praising their dedication, discipline, and spiritual commitment.
Her remarks sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some viewers finding her honesty amusing, while others criticised her comments.
However, several users commended her for acknowledging and respecting a faith she does not practise.
