Cardi B is not holding back when it comes to criticism from her followers.

After the rapper, 31, revealed that she spent 30 minutes working out on the stair master just a few days after welcoming her third baby with estranged husband Offset, 32, the new mom of three faced some backlash from a user on X (formerly known as Twitter).

"It's barely been a week. Yoh, the pressure women in the industry are under? Insane," the follower wrote.

Cardi took the comment "personal," and urged her fans to stop commenting on her weight or workout habits.

"This is my third baby and postpartum is a little different from my first two... I'm not doing heaving lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that... just cardio," she replied to user. "Sometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy and for me that's work and staying active..."

She continued, writing, "But you know what's funny?? Y'all dragged me down when I gained 15 pounds because I was 5 months pregnant but now yall fake concerned and wanna talk about pressure??? Y'all said I was pregnant to avoid working now that you see I'm still at it it's something else??"

"So yeah I'm taking this personal but its FOR ME because either way y'all are gonna have something to say," she added.

The X user then responded to Cardi apologizing for their original comments. "I genuinely didn't mean any harm and the tweet was never an indictment on you but rather society's expectations of women and 'snap back' culture," they wrote. "The reply to the OP honestly shows that there was no malicious intent. But I hope you and baby are well. I'm a big fan," they added with a red heart emoji.

Cardi replied, "Totally babe!! And I do agree about society and pressure...l just was never the type to care about snap back after birth."

"I don't know what it is about this time around but I have this burst of energy where I want to do EVERYTHING... It's like I want to complete all my goals in one day," she explained.

In addition to her new baby girl, Cardi is mom to son Wave, 3, and daughter Kulture, 6, with Offset.

In early August, Cardi shared that she was expecting her third baby, confirming the news on her Instagram. "With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power!" Cardi wrote in her caption alongside a few photos of herself in a red dress, baring her belly.

"Reminded me that I can have it all! You've reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!"

"It's so much easier taking life's twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it's worth it to push through!" she concluded her post.
