Cardi B, never one to hold back her thoughts, found herself in hot water after an online spat with a McDonald’s employee on June 3, 2024. The controversy started when the Bronx rapper responded to criticisms of her accent and dialect on social media.
A McDonald’s worker told her to ‘get off Twitter and get in the booth,’ prompting Cardi B to fire back by posting a photo of the man in his uniform. She captioned it, ‘I’m hopping in the booth after I go to the gym, do this Zoom, and get my pedi ….GET OFF YOUR BREAK AND MAKE ME A CHEESEBURGER.’
The backlash was swift, with many accusing Cardi of job shaming. One social media user commented, ‘Convo aside, I hate when celebs act like they been rich all their lives. Like ‘make me a cheeseburger’ is crazy like you wasn’t bent over for dollar bills every Saturday night couple years ago.’
Defending herself, Cardi B wrote, ‘Is not job shaming babes…he told me to go do my job, and I told him to do his ..we encouraging each other babes.’ Despite her explanation, the incident continued to spark debate online.
Cardi B also had a contentious weekend dealing with issues involving fellow rapper BIA. On Instagram Live, Cardi updated fans on their feud, discussing a heated phone call they had. ‘The conversation started very nasty. It started very aggressive,’ Cardi said, explaining that she called BIA back to clarify things.
‘I’m so appalled at the fact that she thinks I’m copying her or stealing from her,’ Cardi continued. ‘I don’t like her music, I don’t like her style…I don’t even see the bitch.’ She threatened to release a recording of their conversation, stating, ‘We ended up the conversation very nicely, and you still went to the internet dissing me.’
BIA didn’t back down, responding with an Instagram Live of her own and previewing a diss track aimed at Cardi. She even brought up allegations of cheating and mentioned Cardi’s children, Wave and Culture. The feud has only intensified, with both artists taking shots at each other online.
The online clash with the McDonald’s worker and the escalating feud with BIA have put Cardi B at the center of multiple controversies. As these stories unfold, they highlight the volatile world of social media interactions and celebrity spats.
