Many fans notably believe that the rapper should opt for stadiums in the future, saying that she has the popularity to fill even bigger venues.
One person said on X: “No, they must have really pissed her off. She’s done over 30 shows with no problem.” Cardi has been filling arenas for years and still receives this level of nonsense backstage?
Someone else wrote: “Cardi you could sell Benz Stadium!!! And their concessions are cheaper.” Another person replied: “Yeah, stadiums next!” :
Finally, another fan joked: “I’m sure the parking lot will be full.” »
