Cardi B has thrown some shade at a billionaire’s son who decided to go to a Blink-182 concert while his stepfather remains missing aboard the lost Titanic Submersible.
Earlier this week, the rapper issued a video response to Brian Szasz, who defended his decision to go to the San Diego concert despite the fact his stepfather is one of the five missing people aboard the submersible, saying his family would have wanted him to enjoy himself.

“It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the blink-182 show as it’s my favorite band and music helps me in difficult times,” Szasz wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post earlier this week alongside a photo of him at said concert.
Now, in a video shared by TMZ, Cardi B explained that she finds Szasz’ decision to hit the rock concert very distasteful, and aired him out for his choice.

“So one of the billionaires under the water form the submarine shit, one of the billionaires they’re stepson is at a concert right now,” Cardi began. “A Blink-182 concert and people is like, ‘Well what is he supposed to do be sad at the house? Is he supposed to go and look for him himself? Yes. you’re supposed to be at the house sad, you’re supposed to be crying for me. You’re supposed to be right next to the phone waiting to hear any updates about me. You’re supposed to be consoling your mom and shit.”
She continued: “Isn’t it sad you’re a whole fucking billionaire and nobody gives a fuck about you? Like you’re missing and muthafuckas is ready to shake dicks at concerts. That’s crazy, I’d rather be broke and poor but knowing that I’m loved.”
According to BBC News, tour firm OceanGate and the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards confirmed a search and rescue operation was underway for the missing vessel on June 19. The submarine had lost contact with the Coast Guard approximately one hour and 45 minutes into its journey to the Titanic wreck site, which is located at the Atlantic Ocean’s sea bed, 3,800 meters below sea level.
As the search continues, details have emerged about the construction of the submersible, which is called the Titan, including that it’s being piloted by a slightly modified Logitech G F710 Wireless Gamepad.
As of writing, the five people lost in the submersible have around 24 hours left of oxygen in the deep-sea vessel.
In other news, Cardi B’s mixtape cover art accuser recently agreed to pay her $350,000 legal bill after he failed to convince a jury to side against the Bronx star.
The lawsuit, which Cardi ultimately won, was related to the cover of her 2016 mixtape Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1, in which body art model Kevin Brophy Jr. claimed Cardi used his back tattoo and likeness without his permission.

Brophy had originally sued Cardi for $5million, but the jury ultimately sided with the Bronx rap star. Brophy then filed to overturn the verdict, but on December 28, U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney ruled that the request came too late and lacked merit.
Brophy then filed for a new trial according to docs obtained byBillboard and said he wanted another chance to convince a jury that Cardi B “humiliated” him with the cover, claiming Cardi (real name Belcalis Almánzar) committed “misconduct” during her time on the witness stand. District Judge Cormac J. Carney stood firm and demanded Brophy begin paying Cardi’s legal fees despite this filing.
