It’s not every day that you’re being considered for one of the biggest honors in music, and Cardi B’s reaction to being nominated for five Grammys for the very first time came when she probably least expected to hear the news. On Friday, Dec. 7, a reporter first informed the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker that she was up for not one, but five different awards, just moments after she appeared in court for assault and reckless endangerment charges and was ordered to stay from two women she allegedly assaulted. Elite Daily reached out to Cardi B’s team for further comment on the ruling, but did not hear back by the time of publication. It was a less-than-ideal moment, but Cardi B’s totally candid response to learning the news is so hilarious because it’s classic Cardi.
On Friday afternoon, the rapper took to Twitter and Instagram to share the video along with a tongue-in-cheek reference to the whole situation.
“This is not How expected to find out I’m nominated for a Grammy…” Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, captioned the Twitter video with laughing and sad face emojis. “I need a do over.”
In the video, Cardi’s face registered absolute shock when a reporter told her that she’d been nominated for Grammy Awards as she was leaving the courtroom.
