Kash Doll uses $20 bill instead of tissue to pick her nose, sparking mixed reactions on social media

Kash Doll faces backlash after using a $20 bill to wipe her nose at a Detroit Pistons game.

Detroit rapper Kash Doll faced backlash after she posted a story of her using a $20 bill to wipe her nose during an NBA game. The incident occurred while she was seated in the front row at a Detroit Pistons game, and the clip quickly went viral, sparking widespread criticism across social media platforms like Instagram and X.

Many viewers called the act "gross" and "corny," with some expressing concern over the hygiene implications of using paper money in such a manner. The practice raised questions about the cleanliness of cash, which is known to carry bacteria and viruses such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus. Studies have shown that microbes can survive on bills for days, and because money frequently changes hands, it is considered one of the dirtiest items people handle daily.

While some defended Kash Doll’s action as a harmless or humorous moment, others pointed out that using legal tender as a tissue was tone-deaf, especially during a time when many people are struggling financially. The video has continued to garner negative reactions, with many fans expressing their displeasure online.

One user wrote, “Can y’all please stop posting that video of Kash Doll wiping her boogers with money, please?” Another comment stated, “Kash Doll too old not to know that wiping your nose with money is so unsanitary.” The incident has sparked a debate about the intersection of celebrity behavior, hygiene, and public perception.
