Cardi B didn’t hold back in a 4:30am rant about Popeyes’ honey lemon pepper chicken wings.
- The Grammy winner slammed the wings, comparing their taste to ‘Sprite soda’.
- Cardi rated the wings a low 2 out of 10, highlighting a surprising sweet kick.
- She praised New York’s 24/7 Popeyes accessibility despite her culinary critique.
- Popeyes responded by inviting Cardi to try their other four wing flavours.
Cardi B turned into an impromptu food critic, giving her unfiltered review of Popeyes’ honey lemon pepper chicken wings at 4:30am from a New York recording studio. ‘This flavor is not it. It tastes like a f***ing Sprite soda,’ the rapper remarked bluntly on her Instastory.
The 31-year-old artist, boasting 247 million social media followers, didn’t spare any words. ‘I don’t f***ing like it. From one through 10, I’ll give it a two,’ she continued, showing her disapproval of the unexpected sweet taste, which she found off-putting.
Despite her dissatisfaction with the wings, Cardi B praised New York for its round-the-clock food offerings. ‘We are literally eating Popeyes though at 4:30 in the morning,’ she noted, celebrating the city’s unique food scene.
A representative from the fast-food chain responded to her critique with a positive spin. They informed TMZ of their plans to send Cardi a special care package featuring four other wing flavours: ghost pepper, honey BBQ, roasted garlic parmesan, and signature hot.
‘If you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen. And we are in the kitchen. A lot,’ Popeyes’ PR said, embracing the rapper’s review and underscoring their belief in offering variety for wing enthusiasts like Cardi B.
On a lighter note, Cardi also shared a personal update on her X account, revealing she secured a major distribution deal for her vodka-infused whipped cream line. ‘I’m really proud of myself… Everything is actually falling into place and happening at the right time!’ she announced.
The rapper’s social media activity didn’t stop there. She shared a delightful video of her young children, Wave Set and Kulture Kiari, playing on their backyard swing set. This offered a glimpse into her life outside the music and food reviews.
Cardi, who hails from the Bronx, recently appeared united with her husband Offset at Disneyland Paris with their children, despite rumours of their second separation last November. This shows how she balances her bustling career with moments dedicated to her family.
Cardi B’s night-owl food critique and the subsequent response show how quickly social media can turn a midnight snack into a headline moment.
