AceShowbiz - Cardi B sets the record straight. The "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker recently took to her Twitter account to fire back at a fan who accused her of using medical resources to test for Coronavirus when she was rushed to the hospital last week for stomachache.
The fan wrote on Monday, April 6, "one thing that has been ticking me is that there's a close friend of my aunt's that has the coronavirus and she went to the hospital but they told her, to go home they can't serve her. So she's been stuck at home with the rest of her family without getting help."
She went on detailing in the next tweet, "But then I go on social media and see Cardi B at the hospital because she 'thinks' she has the virus and getting the help she needs. I know celebs have advantages, but this is someone's life."
"You can allow a celeb (who, by the way can help with a few donations and help the hospital) who thinks they have the virus to enter the hospital, (She ended up not having it) than an individual who does have it. Okay. The world is a mess," so the person alleged.
Cardi eventually caught wind of the thread and didn't waste time to shut down the allegations. "Ummmmmm I was literally throwing up everything I swallow and lost 5 pounds in 4days do to stomach issue.NOT CAUSE OF THE RONA.You can still go to the hospital for other problems you kno," the raptress hotly responded in a now-deleted tweet.
The "I Like It" star is seemingly the last celebrity to use the privilege of being a public figure for an access to get tested for COVID-19. The "Privacy" rapper previously shared a conspiracy theory that some celebrities were actually getting paid for getting tested. "We keep seeing these basketball players say like, 'Yeah, I have the coronavirus but I don't got no symptoms,' " she said in the video. "So how the f**k am I supposed to know when Im supposed to get tested for it?!"
"Y'all n****s is playin' with me," she alleged. "That's my problem right there. Cause y'all not really saying what it is. And it's like, alright, so tell me what it is and what it ain't. I'm starting to feel like y'all n****s is payin' n****s to say that they got it."
Idris Elba, who is among those who tested positive for Coronavirus despite not showing any symptoms, slammed Cardi for it. Calling her statement "test-shaming, the 47-year-old said in his own Live session, "I don't know what people get from this. So, it's like, someone like myself got paid to say I've got Coronavirus is like absolute bulls**t, such stupid nonsense. People wanna spread that like news, that's stupid. It's the quickest way to get people sick. It's not beneficial to me."
