The shocking video prompted a #SurvivingCardiB hashtag on social media, a reference to alleged sexual abuse committed by R&B singer R. Kelly recently examined in a Lifetime documentary called “Surviving R. Kelly.”

One woman noted that Cardi B’s admission would be headline news if she were a man. “Why isn’t anyone talking about [Cardi B] and her drugging men then robbing them,” she wrote. “Like if this were a man for example… this would be a different story.”
