UMVA has learned that rapper Cardi B sparked outrage on social media after expressing her discontent with the guilty verdict in the Karmelo Anthony case, labeling it "DISGUSTING" and accusing the jurors of "trying to make an example."
The verdict was handed down after a jury convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony of murdering 16-year-old track and football star Austin Metcalf, who was brutally stabbed to death during a championship track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison, with the possibility of parole after serving half of his sentence. The case has drawn significant attention due to the violent nature of the crime and the claims of self-defense made by Anthony's supporters.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that numerous eyewitnesses testified against Anthony, describing him as the aggressor who instigated the fight that led to Metcalf's death. Despite these accounts, Anthony's supporters claim he acted in self-defense, although no evidence supports this assertion.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Austin Metcalf's family has been vocal about their outrage, with his father delivering a scathing rebuke of Anthony. The community has been left reeling from the tragic events, and the verdict has sparked a wider conversation about violence and accountability.
In the aftermath of the verdict, Cardi B's comments sparked a backlash on social media, with users criticizing her for her reaction to the case. The rapper's remarks have been widely shared and debated, with many questioning her involvement in the case and her characterization of the verdict.
