Cardi B Apologizes for ‘Real Housewives of the Civil Rights Movement’ Skit

‘Invasion of Privacy’ rapper played Coretta Scott King in controversial sketch, which previews comedian Rip Michaels’ upcoming series ‘Off the Rip’

Cardi B appeared in a skit for Wild ‘N Out star Rip Michaels‘ new show, Off the Rip. The 25-year-old parodied Coretta Scott King, wife of slain Civil Rights hero Martin Luther King for a segment called Real Housewives of the Civil Rights Movement. While she’s hilarious in the video leaked to TMZ, MLK’s kids found it in really bad taste and now she’s apologized to them. Dr. Bernice King, 55, had some especially choice words for Cardi, who lampooned MLK’s alleged infidelities towards her mom Coretta.

In the skit, Cardi’s seen alongside other actresses portraying Civil Rights hero Rosa Parks and the wives of Rev. Jesse Jackson and Malcolm X. Mrs. Jackson opens the sketch by saying “I’m going to have the ladies over for some drinks to plan this rally because nothing can go wrong for Martin in Memphis.” Ouch! MLK was assassinated in Memphis on Apr. 4, 1968 as he was leaving the Lorraine Motel to head to a rally.

“I think I should be the leader of this group. You know my husband have marched in every states (sic) and fought so we can use the same toilet as…”Cardi says before she’s interrupted by Mrs. Malcolm X who says “Well your husband is a hoe.” Then in a confessional, Cardi as Coretta says “All these hussies wanna sleep with my husband. But it’s alright because I know he marches home to me.” Multiple jokes are then made by the other actresses about MLK’s alleged infidelities.

Dr. King’s son Martin Luther King III called the sketch “beyond offensive” in a TMZ interview. “Young people look up to these artists,” he said, urging viewers to engage in the electoral process. Dr. King’s daughter Bernice King called the clip “repulsive.”

However, Martin Luther King III thanked Cardi B in a subsequent tweet for “reaching out to [him] and apologizing” for the skit. “I am looking forward to talking with you soon,” he added.
