Rapper Cardi B is having a less than ideal week. After being accused of battery following an incident in Las Vegas, the Grammy Award-winning artist is now the subject of a Black Twitter debate.
Los Angeles-based nail tech, Taya Hawkins, took to Twitter to share her story. Hawkins said she had the opportunity to service Cardi B but decided to remain loyal to her customers instead. She explained that she had cancelled for a celebrity in the past and regretted it because she lost those clients.
As the tweet went viral, people started taking sides. Some argued that Hawkins shouldn't have passed up the opportunity as it could have led to bigger opportunities. Others argued that celebrities don't tend to tag small businesses when they work together, so it's not right to lose loyal customers.
When Cardi B found out her name was being used, she quickly clarified that she didn't even know Hawkins. Fans of the 'Bodak Yellow' rapper then jumped to her defense, claiming the nail tech was making up the story. They assumed Cardi B would already have a personal nail tech that does her nails regularly.
