Cardi B Apologizes to Fans for Asking Them to Buy Her Album in This Economy: ‘The Rent Is So F—king High’

The rent is too damn high. Cardi B went live on Instagram recently to talk to her fans as she usually does and she told them about her trying to help a friend get an apartment in New York City.

And when Cardi suggested that her friend settle for an apartment in her hometown of the Bronx because she assumed it would be cheaper, she later realized that rents have also skyrocketed there after doing some research online. “Yo, why I go on StreetEasy and I start to look for apartments in the Bronx for them,” she began. “Yo, why rent for them is so expensive? How the f—k is rent so expensive in the most f—kin’ cheapest borough?”

She then went on to apologize to her fans for asking them to buy her recent album Am I the Drama? “I don’t know how people are surviving,” she said. “I am so sorry for asking y’all to buy my album and this is how the economy is right now, that the rent is so f—king high and crazy in the Bronx, no matter where. I am so sorry.”

The Bronx rapper then turned her ire towards President Trump and how his current administration is currently handling America’s cost of living crisis. “I hate the fact that I know if you was to say something to the Trump administration about the cost of living right now, they’ll be like, ‘Yeah, suck it up,’” she told her fans. “You know what I don’t like? I don’t like that there’s a lot of single people, there’s a lot of students, there’s a lot of people that are working nine-to-five and because they’re working they don’t get no help from the government. I always hated that.”

During that same IG Live, Cardi also told fans that she was thinking about doing an Instagram video for her BIA diss record “Pretty & Petty” but decided not to because she didn’t want to feel like a “bully.”
