If Cardi B’s BBL smells like sanitation, as Biggie Smalls might put it, due to either lack of personal hygiene or a problem that’s inherent to the procedure, I’d like to see you explain how not only is she pregnant, but she’s pregnant by a professional athlete.

It’s every black—or black-coded—woman’s dream to have a baby by a man who’s financially solvent, in order to trap him into paying child support and thus be able to go shopping, and unfortunately for our community, that often means someone who either raps or plays professional sports.

Stefon Diggs, if he wanted to, could probably score with anyone. Certainly, he wouldn’t have to settle for someone who doesn’t smell quite right. I’m sure he makes enough money playing football that he can afford to send someone to a girl’s house to perform a sniff test before he has her driven to his house.
