Cardi B Rips Trolls Who Think It's 'Gay' For Boys To Play With Toy Kitchen Sets After Photo Sparks Debate

In nearly 2022, the notion that playing with a kitchen set can make little boys gay seems absurdly out of touch, but you can count hip hop star Cardi B among those not having that sexist, homophobic nonsense.

The controversy kicked off with parents sharing photos on Facebook of their young sons playing with kitchen sets after seeing Ryan Kaji, the tyke who stars in the wildly popular YouTube channel Ryan's World, playing with his own set.


Soon enough, the photos sparked a debate about gender and sexuality, with people claiming kitchen sets are for girls.

Cardi B, mother to a son herself, retweeted one of the controversial photos that went viral and slammed the uproar as "dumb."

See the tweet below.

Cardi wrote:

"The fact that Ryans world the little boy from YOuTube make millions and he have a kitchen set like this and y’all worry about if this gay or not 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️"
"Stop being so close minded and dumb"

As the tweet Cardi B shared in her own put it, "a full blown gender war" erupted on Facebook in the wake of parents sharing the pics of their sons playing with kitchen sets.

One commenter railed:

“DO NOT buy your son a kitchen set for Christmas… get him a tool set… don’t put the wrong ideals in ya son head at an early age.”

The notion is patently ridiculous.

As several people pointed out in response, cooking is an essential life skill that all genders and sexualities use. Because, you know, their diet would be pretty limited otherwise?

The ridiculous controversy angered many people on Twitter, who clapped back at the notion toys have any bearing on a child's gender or sexuality—especially since such panic assumes there's something wrong with a child being a different gender or sexuality than what bigots considered "normal."

On Twitter, people applauded Cardi B for clapping back at this very stupid controversy.










It's likely Cardi B's objection to this homophobic nonsense is personal.

The mother to a three-year-old daughter and a three-month-old son will be officiating actor Kal Penn's upcoming wedding to his soon-to-be husband Josh.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
