American rapper Cardi B has said that she wouldn’t be affected by the ban on TikTok in the United States.
Media Talk Africa reports that TikTok shut down in the U.S. on January 19 after its Chinese owners failed to sell the platform, as mandated by a law enacted by President Joe Biden in April 2024.
Following the ban, a social media user with the X handle @1lex said rappers, such as Cardi B, who depend on TikTok to promote their music should find alternative jobs.
The user wrote: “Now, all the female TikTok rappers gotta find real jobs. You first, @imcardib.”
Responding, Cardi B said: “Babe, I’m getting a $7 million offer to do my own vitamins. I can retire you from your flipping burger job by tomorrow. Thank me though; I’ve been helping you get your $8.99 Twitter check.”
