‘Jail is a bit harsh’ – Cardi B reacts to Akuapem Poloo’s jail sentence over nude photoshoot with her son

Cardi B has also reacted to Akuapem Poloo’s jail sentence stating why she feels the prosecution is a bit harsh.

American rapper, Cardi B has reacted to the 90-day jail sentence handed to Ghanaian actress Akuapem Poloo who she infamously described as her “twin sister” during her visit to Ghana in 2019, over a nude photoshoot she engaged in with her underage son.

The actress had shared a nude picture where she appeared alongside her underage son on her social media platforms in June 2020 to celebrate his son’s seventh year birthday. She got a lot of backlash for the post while the Director of Child Rights International Ghana, Bright Appiah, filed a petition seeking prosecution. Poloo was sentenced to three months in prison on Friday for posting nude pictures online. Cardi B said she has seen a lot of such photos on social media and sees nothing wrong with Poloo’s action.

In a tweet she shared, Cardi B said she believes Akuapem Poloo should not have been imprisoned and that social media probation or community service would have been a better option. She also disclosed that she has seen similar photoshoots in the United States.

The rapper tweeted;

“I seen a lot of Americans do photoshoots like that. Even tho is not my style I don’t think she was going for sexual more going the natural idea. I think jail is a bit harsh. Maybe social media probation or community service.”
