Cardi B chimes in on the topic of discussion that has social media users debating.

a video went viral of a science teacher allowing his female students to unbraid his hair. The teacher, whose name on Instagram is thilluminator is currently being met with mixed reactions to the video.

“I think you’re doing an excellent job with the kids..people like to be extra for no reason.. if the girls were comfortable todo it and THEIR parents were ok.. what’s the problem..It was a video of a white man getting his edges laid by his students..people thought that was funny” reacted one fan. “So because you didn’t make your appointment for a day when you would have time to take them down yourself or pay someone else to do it that doesn’t justify your rationale for having the kids to take your hair down” expressed another Instagram user.

The teacher did make it known that he has permission to film his students and that the parents are aware. “My admin is well aware of my social media presence, my vids, as well as the relationships I have with my students. Of course if we have visitors I prob wouldn’t do that. But this was on a Friday…at the end of the day…before dismissal…after work was completed. I hate that y’all are dragging me down because of what other mfs have done. I’m not sick in the head. I actually love these kids as if they were my own. I would never do anything that would harm them. They are also respectful of boundaries. And [in] the rare case [if] one ever tries to overstep, it is my duty to correct the behavior and not feed into it. I’m a man of morals and ethics.”

Cardi B chimes in on the conversation. She says she wouldn’t want to see her daughter unbraiding her male teachers hair- however, she does not believe the teach should be fired.
