The Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama is making waves on the internet after his controversial video went viral. For the unversed, the video shows a young boy asking if he can hug Lama. After giving him a hug, Lama kissed the child on the lips and asked him to suck his tongue. The video has sparked widespread outrage on social media. Amid the controversy, American rapper Cardi B's tweet is doing the rounds on the internet, in which she talked about how kids must be taught about boundaries.
The rapper tweeted, "This world is full of predators. They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people wit money, power & our churches. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn't allow people to do to them."
Then a user pointed out her choice of words and responding to him, she wrote, "I don’t gotta watch my words..I know exactly wat I mean from the time you start potty training your kids you should tell them DONT LET nobody touch your privates,enter the bathroom wit you and don’t keep no secrets away from mommy …You took one word to try to make debate …DRINK YOUR COFFEE."
