Cardi B shares pictures of the $88,000 purse, fans ask why 'all this drama over an ugg boot with a strap'

Cardi B had asked her followers on Twitter if she should buy a purse worth $88,000 and had been trolled for the same. However, many had asked the 'WAP' singer to share the deets of the purse

Cardi B had asked her followers on Sunday, “Should I spend 88K for this damn purse? Omggg it’s tempting.” This had resulted in the 'WAP' rapper receiving backlash for being tone-deaf at a time when many had lost jobs due to the ongoing global pandemic. Of course, Cardi B had responded to the critics, but in the process, many of her fans had asked the singer for deets on the purse that had stolen her heart and on Monday, in a cheeky tweet, Cardi B shared, "This this !! This is the purse people crying about." She shared a screenshot of the purse that has now gone viral for looking like an ugg boot with a strap. 

Many fans and followers of Cardi B were underwhelmed and even disappointed with the purse. One fan shared, "She really could’ve just turned an ugg boot inside out for all that." While a follower wrote, "This woman was yelling at poor people last night for hours just to show us some sh*t that look like an ugg boot." One fan did not honestly understand what all this drama was about and wrote, "Girl you cannot be serious. All this drama over a ugg boot with a strap???"

Cardi B also responded after this to a fan who said that the bag did not even look that "cute". She responded, "It’s not about being cute it’s about the http://value.In 3 years I can auction it for double." A fan wrote, "She could’ve gotten Telfar version of the ugg boot bag," and shared Telfar's bag as well. One fan, however, had expressed how it was not Cardi B who had started the drama in the first place and wrote, "Now people saying 'cardi started all that drama over a ugg boot purse' NOOO. What you mean cardi started it..ya was the ones Over reacting and crying over the fact she wasting 88k instead of donating the money. I’m really about to delete Twitter."

Earlier in October as well, Cardi B was criticized after she revealed her extensive Birkin bag collection. She had at the time pointed out how only women of color are questioned when they reveal access to luxury brands about the authenticity of the product and so on. In an Instagram post, her husband Offset had then said, "Stop letting people on the internet tell ya’ll who can get a Birkin at the store, and how many Birkin’s you can get.Black people having access to luxury shouldn’t be a debate...by the way hip hop starts the trends!"

Similarly, when she was trolled about wanting to buy an expensive purse, Cardi B revealed the donations that she had made and even challenged her fans, “Any charity or foundation drop your receipts under the comment I will match what you donated and match your donation to that same charity or foundation,” she wrote and added, “Lets match energy.”
