Cardi B: “I Was Just Playing About Setting Up A GoFundMe For Exotic Joe”

Cardi B Says She Was ‘Joking’ About Setting Up A GoFundMe For Exotic Joe

On March 28th, Cardi B vowed to set up a GoFundMe page for the Tiger King, Joe Exotic who is is currently serving a 22-year sentence for plotting to murder one of his competitors Carole Baskin.

Cardi B was apparently emotional after watching the Netflix documentary on “Tiger King” and took to twitter to share her plan on getting him out of jail.

But according to TMZ, money cannot be raised on its platform to fund the defense of inmates convicted of violent crimes, plain and simple. A GoFundMe rep says it’s in their terms of service and everyone, including Cardi, who uses the platform has to abide.

Bout to start a gofundme account for Joe .He shall be free.

The media outlet shared that after Cardi vowed to free Joe via GoFundMe, an actual account with her name popped up to do just that. It’s been yanked and the $100 it raised was refunded. The account was reportedly a bogus one and not associated with Cardi.

Cardi caught up with TMZ’s post that it is isn’t against GoFundMe rules to set up an account in order to raise money for an inmate and she didn’t hesitate to retract back her words.

“Omg 😩😩😩😂😂I was just playing 🥴I do love him tho and he deff needed better representation. oooooooooooooooooo here Kitty Kitty,” she tweeted on Monday.
