After receiving backlash for hosting over 30 people at a family Thanksgiving dinner, American rapper Cardi B has issued an apology saying she ensured all her guests were tested for Covid before the party.
“Sorry, my bad wasn’t trying to make nobody feel bad. I just had my family in my home for the first time and it felt so good & uplifted me. I spent soo much money getting every1 tested but it felt worth it. I wasn’t trying to offend no1,” she said.
“ME specially and everyone that works around me get tested literally 4 times a week. I’m In the middle of work and every time we clock in we MUST GET TESTED!.”
She then tweeted: “People be trying too hard to be offended. I wonder how they survive the real world.”
Cardi B’s apology comes a day after Rita Ora also apologised after breaching UK lockdown rules after holding a “small” gathering with friends to celebrate her 30th birthday.
The singer said she was sorry for a “serious and inexcusable error of judgment” after the party was held at a restaurant in Notting Hill, west London, over the weekend.
She added: “I feel particularly embarrassed knowing first hand how hard people have worked to combat this terrible illness and being fully aware of the sacrifices that people and businesses have made to help keep us all safe. Even though this won’t make it right, I want to sincerely apologise.”
