There has been and there are still ongoing arguments on the micro-blogging platform as some South Africans are determined to get a new South African name for the rapper while some Nigerians never cease to remind South Africans that Cardi loves Nigeria more.
Recall that the rapper had visited Nigeria in 2019 for the Livespot concert and her anxiety to explore the country and its culture.
