Cardi B Calls Out Celebrities & Trump's Mixed Messages On Coronavirus

[Bambino 24,290]

(AllHipHop News) For many people around the world, Cardi B has become one of the most heeded voices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her March 10 video about coronavirus "getting real" has been viewed more than 25 million times, and that social media rant was turned into an iTunes-charting song.

One of Cardi's recent IG Lives caught some backlash because she joked about celebrities possibly getting paid by to say they have coronavirus. Infected actor Idris Elba seemingly responded to the music superstar by calling the conspiracy theory "absolute bullsh*t."

“If [President Donald Trump] is getting on a podium saying, ‘Hey, listen, if you do not have any symptoms of the coronavirus... do not get tested because we don’t have enough tests to test everybody,'" stated Cardi,

She continued, "But a celebrity is saying, ‘Hey, listen, I don’t have no symptoms. I'm feeling good. I feel healthy. But I went and got tested and I’m positive for the coronavirus.' That causes confusion. That makes people be like, "Wait a minute now. I don't have no symptoms, but I know I went out that day. I might just have it. I'm scared because I'm around my kid, I'm around my grandparents. What should I do?'"

Cardi went on to say that the middle class and working poor in this country are not being treated the same as wealthy Americans and celebrities when it comes to coronavirus medical care. She also blamed the federal government for not doing more to prevent the virus from spreading to the United States from China.

I mean If you look at the number of cases worldwide... the odds of all these celebrities having corona is slim. And I mean SLIM. I don’t feel like using my calculator but it’s definitely a fraction of a fraction of a percent. I can see why she’s suspicious.

Celebrities are always out and about and encounter far more people per day than the average person might. It makes sense.

The conspiracy theory that celebrities are getting paid is... ehh.

BUT. She makes a great point in that there is a discrepancy on who is getting tested, and why it is not widely available.

Do they though? There’s a limit on feasibly how many people you can interact with within 24 hours. Other than an office job pretty much everyone else is in constant contact with new people all day long.

How is a celebrity meeting more people than someone working at a store ?

How is a celibrity meeting more people than someone working in a big office ?

How is a celibrity meeting more people than a hairdresser ?

No, a celebrity doesn't meet more people than an average person on a daily

Ho-ho, I can say that everyone in my country gets the Idris Elba treatment because all covid-19 tests are covered by the government and available to all.

Celebrities go into stores too, they might spend whole days shopping, they have the money for it.

Celebrities also go to big meetings in big offices, and can go to various ones rather than staying in one office like a worker would do.

Celebrities spend their time doing lots of stuff. Shaking hands with fans or signing stuff etc. is something we dont have to do.

It depends on the celebrity or regular person and their particular schedule at any given time, you can't really generalise.
