Cardi B, whose name was taken into a police blotter, needed money for bail- she told us with a weather report as she explained that everything else went into hers son’s baseball uniform. This unusual promo video was meant to promote her releases while displaying the various album versions, along with a humorous explanation of her predicament.

Cardi B never takes a half step. Her latest gimmick? A full-blown drama that only she could have pulled off. In a hilarious and chaotic video, the rapper had one of her parents’ officers taken, or something along those lines, and because she had just paid for her son’s baseball uniform, she couldn’t afford to pay bail. What next? The answer: everyone should rush out and buy her music NOW.
Holding up different versions of her album, Cardi B started selling her merch as energetically as one of the street vendors on Fordham Road. “I got this one. This is the golf version. I got the court room’s editions,” she said with a straight face. She went on to show one version, the “hard work to do the makeup” edition, and held up another, the “pretty and petty” edition. The whole thing is so over the top it may be seen as either a brilliant marketing ploy or a desperate cry for help. You can never really tell with Cardi.
Two contemporary camps quickly developed in the comments section. Some took her seriously, raced to her defense, and some did not. “She needs our help y’all,” one user said. “Them baseball uniforms are expensive. Let’s get to work!” Another fan wrote, “Despite the unnecessary hate in comments. I love that she’s doing this. Market how you want. Get your sales up the way you want.”
On the other hand, criticisms, while more skeptical, were apparently centered on her self-descriptor statement as a “hard working single mother.” One commentator belittled Cardi B’s position by saying, “You ain’t a single mother bihh stop lying.” Then he followed it up with, “How can you be a single mother when you got a man and your baby daddy is still taking care of his kids?” If any, this would probably be the biggest claim that there’s contention to among critics.

Then there were those who just enjoyed the show-whether it was real or not. “I cant tell if you are joking or not!!” a user confessed. “But i LOVeD your courtroom confidence.” Another one, straight with praise, said: “Is it only me or can i watch this woman all day everyday 😂😂 she did say she loves to press necks 🤣.”
Then, some sensible ones cut the drama short and ask bluntly: “What’s the difference in all of them. If we want to buy them all?” Another asked, “Are you dropping the ‘Security heavy’ track anytime soon?” This is reminiscent of Cardi B’s previous testimonies.
Possibly, they delivered the most insightful comment. “People. Relax. She is being Dramatic on purpose okay. ‘Am I The Drama’…. Get it? Calm down. Okay? Love ya.” Whether this is a tall tale or some middle ground of truth, Cardi still knows how to get people talking-or buying. This is the distinctive blend of wit, drama, and hustling that Cardi has been plying as a business in modern time. The lady knows how to sell an album, and will actually fabricate a family emergency to do so. Recently, pregnancy rumors surrounding her have been all the buzz.
Moreover, her husband and collaborator, Offset, has also been in the spotlight lately, especially due to recent developments in their relationship. In fact, fans are eager to hear his perspective following the breakup details revealed in his new album.
