Yeah, I got a new show for y'all.
Man, Cardi B at it again, man.

She put up this tweet on Twitter titled PSA.
PSA, so I know this is going to be good.
Got 2.9 million views.
Oh, man, it's going to be good.
Check out this tweet.
Tell you something.
When I be complaining about food prices and y'all motherfuckers be like, ain't you rich?
Why you complaining about lettuce?
Why you complaining about this?
That just goes to show me when you become successful, when you have money, you're going to fucking, you're going to go broke soon because y'all not budgeting.
I get a summary of the money that's being spent in my home every week.
So when I'm starting to see that like groceries is like tripling up, it's like, hey, yo, what the fuck is going on?
I want to see for myself what the fuck shit is being spent on.
And like when I go to the fucking supermarket, like I went to a supermarket, I'm seeing that everything tripled up.
That like lettuce was like $2 a couple of months ago and now it's like fucking seven.
Of course I'm going to say something.
The fuck?
Because if I think that shit is crazy, I could only imagine what middle class people or people in the hood is motherfucking thinking.
So yes, I'm going to say something the fuck.
And I have a big platform.
So I do want anybody that's responsible of these fucking prices to put that shit the fuck down.
They're going to see my shit.
They might put it down.
So shut the f ⁇ .
Man, what is wrong?
She was just so angry.
Where you buying your lettuce at?
Louis Vuitton?
Where you getting that Gucci list?
The Cost of Damn Lettuce00:01:15
Ain't no damn lettuce, $7.
It might be in some areas.
$7 for some lettuce?
Yeah, and these liberal shitholes, they probably are.
Crazy as hell, man.
$7 for a head of lettuce.
Ain't no way in hell, Keith.
I know inflation's bad, but $7 for lettuce?
Ain't no damn lettuce, no $7.
Hey, let me see.
She's exaggerating a little.
Let me say this.
So you...
Come on.
Let me say something.
So, Cardi, do you actually go to the grocery store and shop for yourself?
No, I think she's saying she was looking at the bill.
She was looking at the bill.
You ain't shopping.
You got your assistants going there shopping and you don't give a damn about no damn lettuce, even if it was $7.
I'm looking at them damn nails you got.
Them nails cost about $500.
And them nails probably cost $1,000.
Yeah, man.
You talking about a damn head of lettuce, $7.
How the hell do you wipe your ass with your nails?
Or pick your nose.
Yeah, every time my nails get too long, I gotta cut them, man, because when I'm taking a shower, I take that sponge, I go up my ass, I cut myself.
You know what?
That's crazy.
You know what's crazy?
Yeah.
For some reason, I thought I had hemorrhoids.
Right, turns out my nails have grew too long.
While I'm in the shower, scrubbing my ass, I'll slicing my ass up.
