Cardi B is giving her two cents on the viral Atlanta restaurant controversy. On Monday, Keith Lee, a content creator known for his restaurant reviews, touched down in Atlanta to rate popular eateries. Prior to Lee’s visit, social media was attacking Atlanta, saying that they had a reputation for not tending to their customers in a professional manner.

“I feel like Atlanta restaurants, they don’t like to make money,” the rapper said in an Instagram Live. “They don’t like people, they don’t like customers, they just don’t f—— like it.”

“I feel bad for Atlanta residents,” she continues. “Thank you, Jesus, I’m famous, but even me being famous, it’s like a hassle! Muthaf—– don’t like making money out there!”

Keith Lee Stops By Old Lady Gang

Lee’s comments were similar to Cardi’s as he expressed a similar situation when he went to visit. While Lee is known online, his family is not. So, to make a more authentic experience, he sent in his wife, his sister, and his mother-in-law into Kandi Burress’ Atlanta restaurant, Old Lady Gang. When the three women got to the counter, they were quoted with an hour to an hour and a half wait time. The restaurant also said they were not serving takeout because it was the weekend. Nor were they taking any reservations.

After hearing the wait time, Lee gets out of the car and walks into the restaurant. The staff recognized who he was and offered him a table for him and his family to be ready in five minutes. Lee was frustrated that when his family went in, they were quoted with over an hour wait, and then when he came in, it was reduced to under 10 minutes. Lee emphasized that he likes to be treated like everyone else and pays for his own food when he reviews. Due to his experience, he decided not to take the table. He told fans not to bash the restaurant based on his review.

After the backlash, Kandi came on social media to “address” the issue. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star said that she appreciated Lee for stopping by and “trying to show love.” She said it was unfortunate that they didn’t get a chance to serve him and his family. The singer is hopeful that they will one day.

  Cardi B looked almost unrecognizable in this Pre-Grammy outfit. Starting off with the hair, Cardi decided to do a short cut which hasn't been seen on the rapper in recent years. However, the dress stole everything away. She wore a mermaid style dress complete with brown and black leather patchwork and lace. To top it all off she wore black lace gloves and a thick gold tiered necklace.

  Cardi B must had known it was going to be a big night for her with the entrance she made in this dress. The rapper looks to have "popped out" of the dress as it has a mermaid base and shell-like top. The inside of the dress is pink, the bottom is black and on her physical body Cardi has on gold. That night Cardi won Best Rap Album for her debut project 'Invasion of Privacy.' She was the first female rapper to win the award as a solo artist.

  The bright red dress complimented her skin perfectly but what put this dress over the top is the chiffon headpiece and the simple pulled back hair with a swoop on her forehead. For someone who is used to having a lot of accessories on the carpet, this look she pulled back and only wore a diamond bracelet and rings.

  Cardi B stunned the crowd when she went on the red carpet for the 65th Grammy Awards. The blue gown had a cutout at her hip and a deep "V" cut at the top. However, what takes this look to the next level is definitely the exaggerated shoulders where the right side of the dress covers part of her face. This look will go down as one of her best.

  Last but certainly not least is her look at the 2019 Met Gala. The theme of that year's Met Gala was camp and she certainly hit the nail on the head. Starting off from the top, the rapper's hair is not visible as it is concealed in a tight red headpiece that is connected to the dress. On top of the dress is also some jewels that are seen all over the gown. Moving onto the body of her dress, it has both a 3D-printed top as well as a "puffer" material that expands to a gorgeous train adorned with a feathered trim. This look certainly made her look like money that night.
