Cardi B is talking s**t with one of the stars of The Good Place… literally.

“I will never s**t my pants cause there’s public bathrooms everywhere,” the rap star tweeted at actress Jameela Jamil. “oooo and bushes.”

The cheeky comment was in response to Jamil publicly calling Cardi out for promoting Teami – a so-called “detox” beverage – in an Instagram video on Friday.

“GOD I hope all these celebrities all s**t their pants in public,” Jamil wrote, “the way the poor women who buy this nonsense upon their recommendation do.”

On Monday, Jamil commented on Cardi’s reply. “She will never s**t her pants, not because of bushes, but because she probably doesn’t ever take the products she promotes... during her promotional video she keeps looking at the name of the product on the cup... almost as if she’s never seen it…"

Of course, “detox” is one of the most popular consumer scams in the world. “There isn’t any convincing evidence that detox or cleansing programs actually remove toxins from your body or improve your health,” states the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Its website lists the potential health risks of products marketed as “detox” and “cleanses.”

Still, celebrities sign lucrative deals to endorse products on social media.

Jamil also went at rapper Iggy Azalea, who promoted a meal replacement shake on social media over the weekend.

“When will these women who are covered in plastic surgery stop telling their followers to drink a laxative to look like them? It’s so embarrassing and it’s so encouraging of eating disordered behavior. BE BETTER ALLIES!”
