Cardi B says sorry to fans for urging album buys amid shock at rent crisis

Cardi B apologises to fans for asking them to buy her album after discovering how insane New York rent is

Cardi B has offered a surprising apology to her fans after realising just how unaffordable rent has become in New York City. During a live session, the rapper expressed regret for previously asking listeners to purchase her album, acknowledging that many people are struggling just to keep a roof over their heads.

She said, “The rent is so f---ing high and crazy… I am so sorry,” reflecting on how people are surviving under such financial pressure. Reports indicate she questioned how a one-bedroom apartment could command $1,500, joking “a white refrigerator, is $1,500?” in disbelief.

Cardi’s latest album Am I The Drama? had been heavily promoted, and she initially urged fans to support it through purchases. But with her apology, she seemed to reverse course, recognising that economic realities have changed the conditions under which many fans engage with music.

She explained that she felt the weight of her request more keenly after observing the impact of rent and the cost of living in the city. “I was shocked how people are surviving,” she admitted.

The apology has been met with praise by many of her followers, who have commended her humility and awareness. Some fans contrasted Cardi’s approach with other artists who have been perceived as tone-deaf during economically difficult times.

Earlier reports also noted that Cardi had been helping a friend rent an apartment in New York and was taken aback by the rent quotes she encountered, further influencing her perspective.

As of now, Cardi has not indicated whether she will retract album sales efforts entirely, but the public shift in tone underscores a moment of empathy and accountability from an artist often in the spotlight for bold statements.
