American Grammy award-winning rapper and media personality, Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, popularly known as Cardi B, has expressed concern over how her personal affairs gain more public attention than other celebrities.

The rapper in a short clip posted on her Instagram story on Monday compared herself to modern pop musician, Britney Spears, stating that all her moves are being closely watched.

She noted that social media users occasionally reported about other celebrities like they focus on her personal affairs.

“No cap. I am really Hip-hop’s Britney Spears. But when it comes to me, I can’t even do anything without people talking about it. This is crazy,” Cardi B said.

“I got all the tea on these celebrities. I know who’s with who and what’s doing what. But guess what? Nobody reports about it. You want to know why? Because nobody cares.

“You’ve got to take the good with the bad. It is what it is. People pay for this type of talk,” the musician said.

The artist’s reaction followed speculation about her possible romantic relationship with Super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye.

On July 12, te Peoples Gazette reported that Mr Okoye trended on social media after he was seen with the American rapper at Paris Fashion Week.

Earlier, the pair were also together at a restaurant in the French capital, triggering speculation among netizens about the nature of the duo’s relationship.
