Cardi B Offers Her Stance On Instagram Hiding Like Counts And Argues ‘Comments Affect More’

Cardi B is known for broadcasting her opinions on Instagram, which is why the rapper had a lot to say when the social media giant’s CEO Adam Mosser announced they will begin hiding likes for some accounts in the United States. She said that instead of hiding like counts, it would be more beneficial if Instagram began removing comments, or at least barring the ability to like comments.

The rapper shared her opinion in a video posted on her Instagram page. “This is just my opinion,” she wrote in the caption. “I mean, what makes you feel more insecure: getting no likes or people constantly giving opinions about you, your life, and topics” She then explained her reasoning for why Instagram should remove comments instead of likes.

Cardi began by pointing out like counts have been around since Instagram started. “It’s a big ruckus right now that the likes on Instagram are getting taken away,” she said. “So, from the beginning of Instagram, we had likes. And I feel like, in the beginning of Instagram, everything was so fun, people wanted to post their pictures, get likes. Where I think that Instagram got a little nasty, and it just took a weird turn, was when people started to like the comments — when they were allowed to like comments or reply back to somebody’s comments.”
