Cardi B sells albums on the subway: Fans react to the unusual promo.

Cardi B surprises her fans in an unusual way

According to The Sun: The popular American rapper caught the attention of fans when she was spotted in the subway selling copies of her new album.

Commuters were impressed to see the trendy artist exchanging the stage for selling in the train.

Project 'Am I The Drama'

Cardi B shocked New York when she spoke with commuters about her new album. She walked through the subway in white sweatpants and a black hoodie, exclaiming:

"Good evening everyone! I am trying to sell these CDs, I am trying to change my life."

Then she added:

"I was once a professional dancer, now I am trying to be a better example for my children."

She shouted:

"If you can, buy my new album, Am I The Drama, for $9.99. We have vinyl. Support the mother of three children. September 19, Am I The Drama!"

The conditions in the subway shocked Cardi B when she suddenly noticed a rat and cried:

"Oh my God! I can't, I can't, I can't. Get me out of here."

Fans' and critics' reactions

Die-hard fans appreciated this action and labeled it as "iconic Cardi energy." On social media, one user wrote:

"I don't care what anyone will say, but the marketing for this era was really GENIUS!"

Some critics, on the other hand, consider this a step back for the Grammy winner, who usually performs in sold-out venues. One of them noted:

"It's so embarrassing... she looks homeless."

Another user added:

"Cardi B's stunt in the subway for 'AM I THE DRAMA?' is another desperate cry for attention. True artists shouldn't sink this low."

A third wrote:

"It seems to be real desperation."

Personal struggles

The artist shared a video on Instagram saying:

"7 days until I know if we are losing our house."

She joked:

"Buy my album to help me keep it."

Although Cardi dismissed rumors of financial problems, fans believe her behavior amplifies those rumors in the context of her separation from her ex-husband Offset.

Cardi and Offset are raising three children: daughter Kulture, 7, son Wave, 4, and little Blossum, who is only 12 months old.

Such actions by Cardi B have attracted attention in the media landscape. She seeks new ways to promote her music as traditional approaches are no longer as effective. Furthermore, her extraordinary style, despite the criticism, remains a source of many questions about the future of her career and personal life. Thus, Cardi B remains in the spotlight, attracting disproportionate attention from both fans and critics.
