Cardi B responded to a viral rumor claiming her father, Carlos Almanzar, was a convicted sex offender.
The rumor originated from a fabricated screenshot generated by the AI chatbot Grok, which claimed Almanzar had been convicted of attempted rape in 1993; however, Grok later clarified that this information was inaccurate.
Cardi emphasized her father’s immigration status from the Dominican Republic, arguing that he would face deportation if the allegations were true, and stated that he has never been arrested in the U.S.
She criticized those spreading the rumor as “deranged” and “weirdos.”
Cardi threatened legal action against those promoting the false narrative, leveraging her history of successfully winning defamation lawsuits to warn her haters.
