Cardi explained that she and her husband Offset are trying to sell a property in Atlanta, and the Armenian consultant helping her in the process allegedly asked the “WAP” rapper if she would share a post “for a good cause.”
“And we said, ‘Sure, why not?’ We love to support everybody,” Cardi said in the audio. “And then I wake up and I see a lot of people from Azerbaijan writing me things, writing me stuff, and I did not know that this is a war between two countries.”
Cardi went on to address the Armenia/Azerbaijan conflict.
“My wish is, since I did a little bit of research today, because you guys left me so much comments, my wish is that both the countries would just be at peace,” she said. “You guys already have big pieces of land. There’s no tiny land that is worth chaos, death, fighting, especially in this year.
She continued: “This is such a bad year, there’s a lot of sickness. I feel like god is trying to give us a message … I hope just peace over there. I’m not picking sides, I love both the countries. I’m sorry that I offended anybody, that is not my style, I don’t like that type of stuff … we just really wish peace, and that’s it.”
