Musician, Belcalis Almanzar popularly known as Cardi B has reacted to the event that has triggered many world leaders to warn the US against a possible escalation of war in the Middle East. She condemned the US Government action for killing an Iranian top general, Qasem Soleimani, via airstrike. She also criticised President Donald Trump for making such a decision.

Cardi B remarked that she would “file for her Nigerian citizenship”, due to the heightened tensions between the United States, her home country, Iraq and Iran.

On Friday, the United States claimed responsibility for the airstrike that killed a top Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani near Bagdad Airport. That claim has sparked new tensions in the Middle East and raised fears of a retaliatory attack on Americans.

She said,

Specially being from New York, it’s sad this man (Trump) is putting Americans’ lives in danger.

Dumbest move Trump did till date (sic) … I’m filing for my Nigerian citizenship.

Cardi B travelled to Nigeria in December for a round of live concerts and had since fallen in love with the country.
