Ex-Big Brother Naija star Mercy Eke has stepped forward to defend American rapper Cardi B following the backlash that trailed her pregnancy announcement.

Cardi B recently confirmed on CBS Mornings that she is expecting a child with her new partner, NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The two have been dating for less than a year. However, the news stirred heated reactions, especially from fans of her ex-husband, Offset, who expressed disapproval of her moving on so quickly.

Responding to the criticism, Mercy Eke took to social media to stand by the rapper. Sharing her thoughts, she wrote:

“One thing about a Libra, we’re deeply loving & endlessly patient. We endure the most, often apologising even when we’re right, not out of weakness, but out of love. We give countless chances, but once a Libra woman is truly fine, there’s no turning back.”

The reality star added that everyone deserves peace and joy in life, saying: “We all deserve true happiness.”
