Cardi B is calling out ‘anyone who is responsible’ for rising inflation, as she claimed that lettuce at her local grocery store is $7.
The 30-year-old rapper revealed Wednesday that she budgets every week to avoid going broke despite her net worth of $62 million.
He urged officials to address the crisis, especially for the lower and middle class who may not be able to afford the sky-high prices.
“When I go to the fucking grocery store… I see everything has tripled, lettuce was $2 a couple of months ago and now it’s $7.” the rapper said in a video posted on Twitter.
“And I have a great platform, so I want whoever is responsible for these bullshit prices to put that bullshit in the ground.”

Cardi acknowledged that she could be silent or speak up as she argued that the price of grocery shopping is more than eating out.
‘Of course I’m going to say something. The F****. Because if I think that shit is crazy, I can only imagine what middle class people or people from the hood are thinking, so yeah, I’m going to say something. ‘
Some people argued that the rapper should not complain about inflation since she is a millionaire.
But the Grammy winner, who is no stranger to enjoying the finer things in life, including $10,000 Hermès bags, was quick to address the controversial comments, stating that managing money helps ensure the longevity of wealth.
‘Let me tell you something, when I complain about the food and all of you s***** are like ‘aren’t you rich? Why are they complaining about the lettuce? Why are they complaining about this? “That just shows me that when you’re successful, when you have money, you’re going to go broke soon because you don’t have a budget.
Cardi furiously gushed about her own money management techniques and how she needs to know exactly what she’s spending on.
“I get a summary of the money spent on my house every week, so when I start to see purchases tripling, I’m like ‘oh, what the hell is going on? ‘ I want to see for myself what the hell is being spent on .

The Grammy winner has been known to use her platform to raise awareness about social issues and has previously spoken out about inflation.
In September, Cardi shared her outrage over the ‘unbearable’ cost of living and hot real estate market.
He admitted that he has to help his family and friends financially and questioned how others survive.
Voicing his thoughts, he exclaimed: ‘There’s no bullshit inventory when it comes to homes. No one will try to sell their damn houses.
“I was looking at some areas. The way prices skyrocket… how do people survive? I want to know.
‘My family and my friends, they’re so grateful to have me, but it’s like, what happens to people who don’t have a self?’
The rapper seems to enjoy the finer items in life, especially luxury handbags. But it seems she doesn’t let her wealth get in the way of speaking up for other people.
