Cardi B Faces Backlash Over Comment Directed at Fast Food Worker During Twitter Spat
Cardi B has come under fire for a comment she made during a Twitter exchange, where she told a troll to “make me a cheeseburger,” a remark many interpreted as disrespectful to fast food workers.
The IncidentThe controversy erupted when Cardi B responded to a critic on X (formerly Twitter). On June 3, the rapper expressed her gratitude to a fan who defended her against racist remarks criticizing her speech patterns. This led another user to challenge Cardi B, suggesting she “get off Twitter and get in the booth.”
Cardi B responded calmly, stating she already had studio time scheduled. She then retorted to the troll, “Get off your break and make me a cheeseburger.” While some users found her comment amusing, others saw it as disparaging towards those working in the fast food industry.
Public ReactionMany netizens felt Cardi B’s remark was insensitive, implying a lack of respect for individuals with regular jobs. In response to the backlash, Cardi B clarified that she was not mocking anyone’s occupation but simply turning the tables on her critic. “It’s not job shaming bаbes…he told me to go do my job and I told him to do his,” she wrote, adding sarcastically, “We encouraging each other bаbes.”
It’s worth noting that Cardi B and her husband Offset collaborated with McDonald’s in 2023 for a Valentine’s Day meal, which adds another layer to the discussion about her recent comment.
Cardi B’s Professional UpdatesOn the professional front, Cardi B is staying busy. She features on the remix of Meghan Thee Stallion and Glorilla’s viral Һit “Ehhthang Ehhthang,” titled “Wanna Be (Remix).” This marks the second collaboration between Cardi B and Glorilla, following their 2022 Һit “Tomorrow 2.”
Cardi B and Meghan Thee Stallion also reunited for “WAP” and “Bongos.” Additionally, Cardi B is involved in a rap feud with Biа, who recently claimed in a song that Offset cheated on Cardi at their home.

Whether intended as a clapback or not, it has certainly added fuel to the ongoing discussion about celebrity interactions on social media.
