Cardi B calls women out over 50/50 topic 

Bodak Yellow hitmaker Cardi B addressed the never-ending topic of couples going 50/ 50 on their bills.

The former Mrs Cephus took a swipe at the women who expect their men to pay all the household expenses while they do little to nothing to help or meet him halfway.

In a video shared by Twitter (X) user KameronBennett, Cardi B said women needed to be realistic and not let social media cloud their judgement: “If you and your man make the same amount of money but only he pays all the bills, how are you going to save up for a house or a business? Because he isn’t going to afford it. Some things need you guys to work together.

“People are out of touch with reality. Your parents worked and helped each other; you’re acting like that never happened. If we want to grow, let’s go half and half; it’s not a one-way street. I’m old school.”

Netizens weigh in on Cardi B’s rant

Netizens were impressed by Cardi’s reasoning and supported her take on the 50/ 50 conversation:

badgalnelly agreed with Cardi: “I completely agree, and I don’t mind going 50/ 50 with my man, especially when we are working towards a better life; some women are missing it.”
