AceShowbiz - Cardi B is still not done ranting about Coronavirus after her first rant went viral, though her latest one has successfully rubbed some people in the wrong way. Idris Elba has hit back the female rapper for suggesting that celebrities might have gotten paid to say they have tested positive for Coronavirus.
During a recent Instagram Live session, Cardi questioned the veracity of statements by some celebrities, including the "Cats" actor. "Let's say if I have the coronavirus right now. How am I supposed to know I got it because sometimes I be like, 'If you all have a cough, you have it?' But then I be seeing these basketball players like, 'Yeah, I have coronavirus, but I don't have any symptoms.' So how am I supposed to know when I’m supposed to get tested for it?" she said.
Cardi continued saying, "I'm starting to feel like y'all n****s is paying n****s to say that they got it. And if y'all are paying n****s to say that they got it, then pay me too. B***h tryna get paid."
Idri eventually caught wind of the comments she made on her IG Live and couldn't help but respond to it, calling her statement "test-shaming." The 47-year-old said in his own Live session, "I don't know what people get from this. So, it's like, someone like myself got paid to say I've got Coronavirus is like absolute bulls**t, such stupid nonsense. People wanna spread that like news, that's stupid. It's the quickest way to get people sick. It's not beneficial to me."
Cardi has yet to respond back to Idris.
Both Idris and his wife, Sabrina Dhowre, are both tested positive for Coronavirus. Both of them are currently self-quarantining in New Mexico, where the actor is filming his new film.
