American Hip-hop star, Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, known professionally as Cardi B may need to rethink coming down to South Africa.
Not because of the 10th edition of Castle Light's Unlocks Concert which she will be headlining alongside fellow contemporaries like Drake, J. Cole, Chance the Rapper, Kanye West, Travis Scott and others.
But because of the reactions that trailed her huge announcement.
Yesterday, the rap star announced that she was going to be in South Africa soon and being naturally curious, she asked for feedback about the country.
She tweeted: "SOUTH AFRICA !! Chioma B is coming !!!!.... Teach me more bout your country in the comments

However, she got more than what she asked for as Africans just kept saying all sorts in her comment sections.
This one is obviously Nigerian
Dear Chioma B, Nigeria is truely missing you ??????

Some good advice
Okay a few things you need to do in SA:
— Tony Fendi ???? (@YnoTRockIT) February 21, 2020
1. Eat a “Kota”
2. Go to @xo_loungeSA
3. Have braai meat & pap
4. Say “sourBoner” when you greet everyone
5. Have biltong with coke
Those are my top 5 culture hacks
@iamcardib be careful in SA, they hate fellow black people especially Nigerians (reason she is telling you to ditch your Nigerian name).
