Cardi B is getting into the Cinco de Mayo spirit with her dance moves and a little bit of humor. In celebration of the annual holiday that commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French Empire, the rapper took to Twitter to share a video of herself dancing to the remix of the popular Mexican song “La Chona.”
In the tweet’s caption, Cardi B wished “filthy Americans” a happy Cinco de Mayo. The post prompted a fan to comment on the rapper’s rumored Mexican heritage, to which she joked in a since-deleted tweet, “I mean they claim I’m Mexican…I might as well embrace my new nationality lol.”
While Cardi B is of Dominican and Trinidadian descent, her playful response shows that she’s not afraid to have a little fun with her heritage and the misconceptions that come with it. It’s also not the first time the rapper has shown love for Mexican culture, as she has previously shared her appreciation for Mexican food and music.
In addition to her Cinco de Mayo celebrations, Cardi B recently took part in TikTok’s viral Spicy Bowl Challenge, but it was her husband Offset who tried the spicy dish. In a video shared on her social media, Cardi B can be seen assembling the hot dish while Offset watches with anticipation. After trying it out, Offset gives his approval, suggesting that it would be great in soup.
Cardi B has always been one to keep her fans entertained, whether it’s through her music or her playful personality on social media. And with her latest posts, she proves that she can celebrate culture and have fun with her loved ones at the same time.
