Cardi B has been receiving a large amount of backlash after the #SurvivingCardiB hashtag, which began after video surfaced of her confessing to drugging and robbing men before her rap career took off. But  Rick Ross is now speaking out to defend her. Ross went on his IG Live to instruct everyone to leave Cardi alone.

“Leave Cardi B alone because we don’t need to persecute her for her past we need to be leaders and lead by example,” Ross said. “Regardless of what you did in your past, if you stole a car in the past, that don’t mean you shouldn’t be able to get money in the future. As long as you change your ways, and we all know Cardi B focused on the money now. She is a leader, and that’s how I feel.”
