“About to get evicted from my mansion”: Cardi B jokes about being “poor” while urging fans to buy box sets of upcoming album ‘Am I the Drama?’

Rapper Cardi B recently took to social audio platform Spaces to promote box sets for her upcoming album, Am I the Drama?, while also sharing insights into her personal and financial challenges. This album is her first full album since Invasion of Privacy came out in 2018.

While talking live, Cardi spoke to her fans. She asked them to buy the box sets, saying that sales help the album do well overall. As she talked, she joked about her money situation. She said she was "poor", "about to get evicted" from her big house and might lose her fancy cars.

"Please support the box sets. They count for album sales, and I need you guys to donate for the album sales because I'm poor," she said.

"I'm about to get evicted from my mansion. They're about to repo all my cars. They're about to take my Lambos and my Rolls-Royce," Cardi continued. "I couldn't even get my pool cleaned this week, you know what I'm saying? I'm fu**ed up in the game right now."
