During the visit, Cardi B addressed the crowd, “I’m extremely proud to be from the Bronx, and I have lots of family and friends who live and work there still; so when I heard about the fire and all of the victims, I knew I needed to do something to help.”
She continued, “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?”
The rapper said in her speech that she wanted the donation to go to “after-school activities, maybe tutoring, or maybe something fun, maybe a music program!”
