Cardi B is known for her bubbly personality and off the cuff humor, but that doesn’t stop her from receiving criticism from others who feel “offended” by her “jokes.”
Earlier today, the pregnant rapper participated in the viral social media trend of “I don’t care how rich I get…” or “IDGAF how much money I make…” where people say a similar statement followed by something people who are struggling financially do.
Example: “I don’t care how rich I get, I’m never putting more than $5 in my gas tank” or “IDGAF how much money I make, I’m not putting my bills on auto draft.”
Cardi B’s version can be seen below:
IDGAF how much money i make ! I want food stamps !!

The tweet was met with the typical reactions of triggered folks who aren’t hip to the “Bodak Yellow” rapper’s humor, as well as tweets from fans defending her.
“I’m sorry but no, there are people who are in desperate need of that assistance,and you are [not] one of them,i love you to death cardi, but that isnt funny,” one Twitterer wrote. D”amn girl I’m sure it was a joke. It’s ok to laugh sometimes….” replied another.

Honestly? That would be greedy… In general, I don’t think food should be as expensive as it is & I hear THAT, but working in social services, I can tell you that the need for more resources is great; those who don’t need them need not put their hands in the pot.

Ps before anybody hops in mentions; it may have been meant as a joke, but a) that’s not my point b) jokes are NOT untouchable & can be a part of/encourage commentary c) no one is obliged to find this funny & d) people CAN/are engaging here IN disagreement still w/ LOVE/respect.

You’re right, that’s not funny; it’s a shame how some play the system, but there ARE folks who really need it. I reserve the right to laugh AND be like ‘but in all seriousness…’ too. A lot of folks do have a jaded way of thinking about EBT & it’s important to me to talk about.
