The rapper, who released her new single ‘Up‘ on Friday (February 5), has responded to comments online that suggest she engineers her music to inspire viral dance challenges. A new dance craze for ‘Up’ is currently sweeping social media.
Cardi reacted to one comment, which many including herself appeared to misread as criticism (“there’s a difference between becoming a challenge and forcing a challenge on people, that’s what the people mean”), by saying she’s never instigated any dances.
“I never forced a challenge. I never offer MONEY or prices for no challenge,” the rapper wrote on Twitter yesterday (February 8). “I never even posted hey guys do a challenge for my song. People do it cause they want to sooo miss me wit that shit. I pay ya to show me when I told some1 ‘hey do a challenge for my song'”.

She later thanked those who support what she does instead of pick holes in her music or marketing campaigns. “Thankful for all my fans, artist, influencer, tiktoker, people that critic music videos and songs, and the GP for showing me love.I âm extremely happy and satisfied.
