The 27-year-old donned a cropped black tank top and a pair of purple underwear as she served body in her massive closet.

She said: ‘Y’all think I’m editing my body? Just ask me for a f***ing video. It’s simple. Simple, babe. Like, y’all think I’m editing it? Just ask me for a thing.’

Cardi pinched her hip, adding: ‘I got a little fat. I gained a little baby [fat], you know what I’m saying? It’s all good. You can ask me for a video. I’ll show yall. I gained a little weight, but guess what? The thighs match now, right?’

She worked her angles, doing some turns and showing off the peacock tattoo on her hip, to which she recently added some color.
