Popular American rapper Cardi B has been criticized online for buying luxury brand items during the coronavirus pandemic. The corresponding discussion unfolded under her post in Twitter .
The 28-year-old star published a post on her account with the caption: “Should I spend 88 thousand (6.5 million rubles) on this damned wallet? God, how tempting.” Celebrity fans began to condemn her in the comments due to the fact that she spends large sums on shopping during the pandemic. “How about giving these 88 thousand to me?”, “I would have problems like rich people have,” “Some people somehow earn this amount in a year,” “Better donate money to starving people,” they wrote.
However, the celebrity covered up the craving for luxurious things with donations to fight the pandemic. She said she has donated millions of dollars to charities over the past few months.
So, at first, Cardi B shared a snapshot of the title of the article, which says that she transferred one million dollars (74 million rubles) to special organizations to fight COVID-19. In the next post, the rapper mentioned that she sent another million dollars to fans through the CashApp payment service two months ago. In addition, she said that she helped all her relatives during the global crisis.
Later, the performer urged her fans to show which organizations they donated to in order to donate their money to these funds.
In October, Cardi B was accused of undermining the image of a luxury brand due to the color of her skin. In her social media, the performer talks about a viral Twitter post stating that Hermes brand accessories have “lost their value” due to their popularity with black women. The rapper began to discuss this topic and said that it is unfair to focus on skin color.
