Listen, you might think that this is some bozo article having a pop at Cardi B – but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, to use modern parlance, we’re shipping Cardi because she’s been ranting about the price of shopping for your groceries, and we agree wholeheartedly.
On socials, she let fly about how much she’s stumping up on stuff – and in turn, fighting the good fight because we’re feeling the cost of a stump up more than she is – and she knows it.
She said: “Naaaaaa grocery shopping prices are ridiculous right now – you might as well eat outside!”
“Let me tell you something, when I be complaining about food prices and y’all motherfuckers be like, ‘Ain’t you rich? Why you complaining about lettuce, why you complaining about this?’” she added. “That just goes to show me when you become successful, when you have money, you’re gonna fucking-, you’re gonna go broke soon because you’re not budgeting.”
What a tremendously enjoyable woman, even if you’re not that bothered about her music (she does, for the record, have some total bangers).
Of course, she’s got a few quid and a lot of help, so when she says that she gets a ‘summary’ of the money she’s coughed up on groceries each week, she noticed that things are getting pricier: “I went to a supermarket, I’m seeing that everything tripled up” adding that it was all “crazy” and that she fancied a rant because she “can only image what middle class people or people in the hood are motherfucking thinking.”
Interestingly, Cardi said she has a “big plan” to combat inflation, adding that big companies need to “and went on to ask that those responsible for the higher prices “put that shit the fuck down.”
Wouldn’t it be more fun if our economists talked a little more freely like our Cardi did? Honestly, she’s in the running to become hip hop’s Dolly Parton if she’s not careful. What a consistent treat she is.
