Cardi B made history this weekend as the first female rapper to win Best Rap Album at the Grammy Awards. She was overjoyed at the accomplishment, and spent much of the night posting her typical videos on Instagram. This included a now-deleted clip on her Instagram Story where she showed off a note that came with some flowers she had received.
“You’ve got a heart so big it could crush this town,” read the message, quoting Petty’s song “Walls (Circus).” Cardi B thought that Petty himself had sent the flowers, either forgetting or not knowing at all that he had passed away two years before.
“Thank you, Tom Petty, for the flowers,” she said in the video. “I left the room, but, um … and the flowers were very big. I want to say thank you so much, and this is such a beautiful note. Motherf—ers love me, bro.”
Having no idea of who Cardi B is, or what she sings, I tried one of her songs on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteAfter 40 seconds, I realized I am obviously not in her target audience. Though that video had an amazing collection of half-naked women, who showed some incredible T & A, it sounded better to me with the sound off!
