Cardi B is covering funeral costs for the 17 people killed in the recent Bronx apartment fire. She is teaming up with the Mayor’s Fund To Advance New York City. In a statement, Cardi said, “I’m extremely proud to be from the Bronx, and I have lots of family and friends who live and work there still. So, when I heard about the fire and all of the victims, I knew I needed to do something to help. 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.” She continued, “I send my prayers and condolences to everyone affected by this horrific tragedy.”
