Cardi B didn’t realize a simple tweet would send an avalanche of angry followers into her mentions. The Bronx bombshell loves her designer purses, and she took to Twitter on Sunday (December 6) to get their opinion after debating pressing the buy button to add an $88,000 handbag to her luxe collection.
“Should I spend 88K for this damn purse,” she wrote. “Omggg it’s tempting.”
After Cardi’s proposition, followers immediately called her out for being insensitive about how she wants another handbag when the pandemic has some struggling to pay rent and find their next meal.
“Cardi we are going through a really rough time right now & a lot of people r scared that they won’t even be able to put a roof over their heads or food on the table,” one fan responded. “I love you but we r still going through Covid and the government isn’t doing shit to help us and hasn’t 4 months.”
Others basically demanded she takes that money and donates it to a charitable cause.

“Donate 88k to a charity for people that need help right now,” another person said. “U know the people that buy your music to perhaps get thru these shitty time’s…idk jus sayin.”
Cardi went on to bring up the receipts of the more than $2 million she’s donated since the coronavirus pandemic began in March.
“Also I got 7 uncles an 3 aunts on my daddy side,9 aunts and 3 uncles on my momma side a whole bunch of cousins I had to help cause of the pandemic,” she explained about how she’s helped her family through tough times. “If I want to splurge I can with out yall asking for hand outs like me and my husband don’t do so.Thank you.”
She also challenged her followers to show her how much they’ve donated and promised she would match their efforts with a donation of her own to charity.
Cardi eventually gave in and apologized, but made sure to take a jab at Donald Trump in the process.
Through all of the madness she caused, the 28-year-old may have just called it a night and bought the expensive bag anyway.
Sometimes you have to remain silent on Facebook if you don’t want ignorant mf’s’ comments. Just buy the damn purse and flex it. Social media is a place where people who don’t even understand your picture try to give an opinion on it.
This POS is so ignorant. You can tell she got insecure by a couple people calling her out. This society promotes trash
So let me get this straight people are mad cause some stripper/rapper wants to buy a purse? Ya’ll are the ones that made her rich by buying and promoting her music and following her on social media. Maybe instead of buying that Cardi B album you should have bought some boxes of mac and cheese for your kids huh
NOBODY bought a Cardi B album, its actually a man in drag put on by the elite, but maybe thats beside the point
how someone mad at someone for spending their money the way they want…I love these self righteous people who are telling her to donate when they more than likely do not bother donating themselves. This is silly and the fact that she gets so emotional to respond to these clowns and bring up Trump?? we all know that guys gets bashed for everything. Cardi shut up..twitter stfu
Yeah, but she ASKED THESE PEOPLE their thoughts and got an answer. So it was wrong for them to answer the way they wanted to? Maybe she should just do the shit instead of pandering for attention from strangers….
Good point
Liberal Social Justice Warriors. It will be on another level when the new administration comes in
Negative comments are much more likely to get a response from celebrities than positive ones unfortunately. People don’t really care what she does, they want the attention that a response from her may garner.
Attention is like Gold in the Social Media world.
Drag those boobs..
