Sometimes you gotta motherfucking ask for help.” Cardi’s not the only celebrity donating cash to help people affected by the coronavirus crisis. Last month, Taylor Swift surpirsed four fans with $3,000 each, while others, including Rihanna and Kanye West, have donated funds, meals, and medical supplies to benefit those who are most affected, both in terms of health and finances. Musicians such as Christine and the Queens, Charli XCX, and James Blake have also been spreading positive vibes to isolated fans via livestreams on Instagram. Oh, and Lizzo is playing the flute.
