Cardi B Sparks Social Media Firestorm With Carmelo Anthony Verdict Post
A Texas court has sentenced 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony to 35 years in state prison for the first-degree murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. The sentencing follows Anthony's conviction for stabbing Metcalf to death at a high school track meet in April 2025.
Metcalf's father delivered an emotional victim impact statement, while Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis stated that justice has been served in the case. The verdict has sparked a wave of reactions online, with some supporting the jury's decision and others criticizing it.
The incident occurred at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, where Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest during an altercation near a team tent. The case has drawn widespread attention, with rapper Cardi B expressing her disagreement with the verdict on social media, stating that it is "not justice" and an attempt to "make an example."
Others have also weighed in on the issue, including a user who replied to Cardi B's post, questioning the fairness of the sentence. In response, Zeek Arkham, a former New York Police Department officer, argued that the sentence is justified, stating that stabbing someone is a serious crime that should be discouraged.
