Cardi B made the donation after appearing on her Instagram Live last week to ask people how they are surviving in this climate. The reality of inflation struck the Bronx-raised artist, who was concerned for those who aren’t as financially stable. Cardi B shared how she was helping her cousin find an apartment and realized how high the costs have soared in recent years. She took to social media to legitimately ask people how they do it.
“I was looking at some areas. The way that the prices soar up…like how are people surviving? I want to know. My family and my friends, they’re so grateful to have me, but it’s just like, what happens to people who don’t have a me?” Cardi asked her followers.
