Cardi B Offers To Pay Funeral Costs Of 17 People Killed In Fire Outbreak In Bronx

Cardi B Covering Funeral Costs Of Victims In A Building Fire That Killed 17 In Bronx

According to a report from TMZ, Cardi B has offered to pay the funeral and burial costs of those killed in a building fire that killed 17 in the Bronx earlier this month.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams tells the media outlet, “We are grateful for Cardi B, a real superstar on and off the mic, for granting some critical financial relief to families of the victims.”

“The city will be forever thankful to her and also to the grassroots donors and corporate partners who have been able to offer immediate support for our neighbors in need, to reestablish themselves during this difficult time,”. Eric added.

In a statement to TMZ, Cardi said: “I cannot begin to imagine the pain and anguish that the families of the victims are experiencing, but I hope that not having to worry about the costs associated with burying their loved ones will help as they move forward and heal.”

The fire ripped through a 120-unit tower in The Bronx on January 9 — taking the lives of 17 people — and sending many more to the hospital. Victims ranged in age from just 2 years old to 50.

The ‘Press’ rapper will cover both funeral and burial expenses and has teamed up with The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City to make sure everyone is covered, and the wishes of their families are met.

“I send my prayers and condolences to everyone affected by this horrific tragedy,” Cardi says.
