Cardi B shopped for groceries at an upscale supermarket in the city and donated the items to an orphanage.Hip-hop executive, Brooklyn Johnny, who accompanied her on the trip said the rapper bought as many items as their cars could hold. She had a whole lot of fun in Nigeria, she is already missing Nigeria, as she is trying to pay a visit back to the amazing country to have more fun.
These two events had their own exclusive fun that they served different kinds of people that attended the event as it also had the Island blocked as everyone wanted to attend both shows. Merry bet is a yearly event that’s usually fun so no one could afford to miss it, Cardi B was also in Nigeria for the first time and her fans couldn’t afford to miss the chance to see her. So they had to work out a way so they could both share venue.
