This is what we mean when we say “representation”. @iamcardib spoke about growing up in a low income neighborhood and viewing her education as a way out. We appreciate her raw authenticity and look forward to sharing more with you all about her visit! #Cardi pic.twitter.com/lC4kjsxS4P

Cardi B made the donation after appearing on her Instagram Live last week to question how people are surviving in this climate with the high prices that have overtaken people’s finances. The inflation has struck in a way that even someone with her status has concerns for the people who aren’t financially stable. She mentioned how she was helping her cousin find an apartment and realized how high the costs have soared in recent years. She took to social media to legitimately ask people how they do it.

“I was looking at some areas. The way that the prices soar up…like how are people surviving? I want to know. My family and my friends, they’re so grateful to have me, but it’s just like, what happens to people who don’t have a me?” Cardi asked her followers.

She reposted the video clip to her Twitter account.
