In the latest twist of online controversies, Cardi B finds herself entangled in a legal battle after an ad featuring her likeness surfaced on the internet. The short clip promotes a "stimulus-style program," urging viewers to sign up for a government initiative claiming to provide substantial amounts of money for free. However, the legitimacy of the program is dubious.
The ad features a voice strikingly similar to the Grammy-winning artist, with the faux Cardi B encouraging viewers to join the program aimed at "helping Americans get back on their feet." Participants are promised a reloadable "health spending card" after opting in. The questionable nature of the ad quickly caught the attention of internet users, who pointed out that the voice in the clip does not belong to Cardi B.
One Twitter user shared the footage, expressing disbelief, stating, "This is taking me out." Cardi B herself responded to the post, indicating her plans to take legal action against the unauthorized use of her likeness.
"Al is crazy smh....another lawsuit that fell right on my lap...l love easy money," Cardi B replied, making it clear that she intends to address the situation legally.
The incident raises concerns about the misuse of celebrities' images and voices for deceptive purposes. As social media continues to be a platform for various schemes, artists like Cardi B are taking a stand to protect their brand and likeness from unauthorized exploitation. This case adds another layer to the ongoing conversation about digital rights and the responsibility of platforms to prevent fraudulent activities.
