Cardi B’s visit to Accra reignites Ghana, Nigeria Twitter war
Cardi B arrived in Lagos last Thursday as part of her visit to Africa for concerts in Nigeria and Ghana.
While she was in Nigeria which was her first point of call, she had made some commendable and positive remarks about the country, first was her likening Lagos to the Dominican Republic on her way from the airport to her hotel in Victoria Island.
She also had a nice time with some Nigerian artistes at a nightclub in Lagos.
From her social media posts, it would not be out of place to say that the American singer had a good time in Nigeria and she truly enjoyed her stay.
After her concert in Lagos, Cardi headed for Accra where she had a concert on Sunday and also had a meet and greet session with some select Ghanaian celebrities, it didn’t turn out well.
While some Ghanaian celebrities were reportedly waiting for the singer at the venue of the meet and greet, an announcement from the show promoters that Cardi B would not be available at the scheduled time until another four hours enraged some Ghanaian entertainers who stormed out of the venue and took to social media to vent their anger.
Cardi B saw some of the outrages and did apologised to the aggrieved entertainers, she also posted a video on her IG page saying the meet and greet was not part of her contract,
“It was part of my contract in Nigeria and I attended and I arrived on time,” she said in a live video on her social media page.
It didn’t end there, the lamentations from Ghanaian artistes brought back the old and sleeping social media war between Nigerians and Ghanaians.

While some Ghanaians slammed their celebrities over the way they handled the meet and greet, some Nigerians have also taken to Twitter to mock their West African rivals over the controversy generated by the meet and greet.
Popular Ghanaian singer Shatta Wale has also shaded his countrymen,
He tweeted:
WHEN I SAY GHANA BE VILLAGE…DEM GO TALK SAY WHY ?????????

A Ghanaian Twitter user declared that with the way the event was handled it is obvious that Nigeria and Ghana are not on the same level.
He wrote:
No meet and greet in her contract. But organizers in Nigeria put it in her contract.
Nigeria is not our mate in organizing show ? #CardiBInAccra

Beyonce picked 6 artistes from Nigeria, & only #Shattawale from Ghana in her Album, because our Jollof rice is the best.

Since cardi B purged after eating the Ghanaian jollof, there’s no longer a reason to call omoissy to settle which country has the best jollof between Nigeria and Ghana.

Cardi B came to Nigeria and had so much fun with our celebrities.
Cardi B went to Ghana and they are forcing her to hang out their Instagram influencers.
Pride did not allow them call Don Jazzy to release Rema for them.#CardiBInAccra

The cause of this whole Cardi b saga is NIGERIA.
If Cardi just performed and left Nigeria, Ghanaians won’t be this pissed.
They’re angry cos Cardi was with Nigerian celebrities and didn’t give them time ?.#CardiBInAccra— Perfect Boyfriend. (@iam_mrflamez) December 9, 2019
