Cardi B wants her relatives to be careful when it comes to them sharing AI-generated images and clips going viral on social media.
“Free my older family members from facebook Ai,” she wrote to X on Wednesday (Feb. 4).
Billboard has reached out to Meta for comment.
Cardi doesn’t indicate exactly what she’s referencing, but she might have had enough of AI and deepfakes being shared in the family group chat, whether that’s viral images that are not real or relatives posting AI-generated photos. It all can feel like an Invasion of Privacy, with the elderly generation more susceptible to falling for scams.
According to a 2025 report from the AARP, though older adults have some basic understanding of AI, their knowledge around this new technology decreases with age. The organization notes that nearly 50% of respondents who are in their 50s use AI and chatbots, but that number drops to 25% for respondents in their 70s.
While there is some understanding of AI among older Americans, the Associated Press reported in 2024 that numerous studies showed “senior citizens are more susceptible to both scams perpetrated using artificial intelligence and believing the types of misinformation that are being supercharged by the technology.”
The Bardigang had some fun with Cardi’s frustration with others using AI. “Lmaoo it be funny when people comment on the pics like ‘You look beautiful!’ Meanwhile their hand only got 3 fingers and the photo looks nothing like them,” one fan replied.
Another responded: “Your parents be sending you Facebook Ai on WhatsApp and warning you to be careful about stuff like that as if it real!”
While Cardi brushes off her family members’ AI-filled messages, she’s got a major weekend ahead of her. The Grammy-winning rapper’s slated to headline the Fanatics Super Bowl Party in San Francisco on Saturday (Feb. 7).
She’ll be cheering on her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, and the Patriots against the Seahawks on Sunday (Feb. 8), as Bad Bunny takes the stage at the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. Three days later, the curtain drops on Cardi B’s Little Miss Drama Tour, which kicks off in California on Feb. 11.
