Folks have been critical about how COVID-19 tests have been easily accessible for the rich and famous while regular civilians are denied tests, but Cardi B is suspicious of why certain wealthy stars are even getting tested in the first place. The outspoken rapper went live on Instagram recently, and of course, Cardi expressed her frustration and confusion about asymptomatic folks going to get tested, and came to a wild conclusion. "We keep seeing these basketball players say like, 'Yeah, I have the coronavirus but I don't got no symptoms,'" Cardi begins. "So how the f*ck am I supposed to know when Im supposed to get tested for it?!"
"Y'all n*ggas is playin' with me," she repeats over and over. "That's my problem right there. Cause y'all not really saying what it is. And it's like, alright, so tell me what it is and what it ain't. I'm starting to feel like y'all n*ggas is payin' n*ggas to say that they got it, and if y'all are paying n*ggas to say that they got it, pay me too! Pay me too! Okay? Sh*t, 'cause I'm trying to get paid." Do you agree with Cardi, or is this just a bunch of nonsense?
