Cardi B Blasts High Grocery Store Prices

by

Inflation has been one of the most pressing issues in the United States over the last year. According to CNBC, the prices of everything from eggs and poultry to milk and cereal have surged dramatically. In addition to grocery store prices, everyday costs such as airfare and public transportation have recently increased as well. As a result, inflation has impacted countless people in one way or another — even celebrities like Cardi B.

Since last summer, the “Hot Shit” rapper has been vocal about the economic conditions in the U.S. Although she has repeatedly been called out for her comments, Cardi has refused to stay silent about the matter. Now, in a recent tweet, Cardi B has addressed inflation once again.
