One fan, however, wasn’t impressed by Cardi B’s offer. User Icy girl inna cold world called Cardi’s tweet “a bunch of fried eggs.” The online commenter pointed out that Latina Cardi was trying to market her hair oil and growth tips to Black women and that it “could be misleading.”
Y’all really don’t see how a LATINA selling “hair growth oil” to BLACK women could be misleading?
