Cardi B has come out to blast the stepson of a billionaire who remains missing aboard a Titanic-bound submersible.
The Grammy-winning hip-hop superstar laid into Brian Szasz, who admitted that he attended a Blink-182 concert in San Diego during the highly publicized search efforts to rescue his stepfather, Hamish Harding, and the four other missing crew members.
“People is like, ‘Well, what is he supposed to do? Be sad at the house?” Cardi B said on her Instagram Story Tuesday. “’Is he supposed to go look for [the sub] himself?’”
“Yes!” she answered emphatically.
The “Bodak Yellow” lyricist added that if she was the one missing, she would expect her loved ones to express more concern.
“You supposed to be at the house sad!” she exclaimed. “You supposed to be crying for me. You supposed to be right next to the phone waiting to hear any updates about me.”
However, Cardi B couldn’t help but muse over why Szasz would seem to have such a lack of concern for Harding.
“Isn’t it sad that you a whole f–king billionaire and nobody gives a f–k about you?” she asked. “That’s crazy. I’d rather be broke. I’d rather be broke and poor, but knowing that I’m loved.”
In a since-deleted June 19 Facebook post, Szasz shared a photo from the Blink-182 concert with the caption: “It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the Blink-182 show as it’s my favorite band and music helps me in difficult times!”
Later, alongside a photo of himself standing outside the concert venue, the 37-year-old hit back at the online backlash.
“Yes I went to Blink-182 last night,” he wrote Tuesday. “What am I supposed to do? it at home and watch the news? Not sorry this band has helped me through hard times since 1998.”
He added that he deleted his original post because his mother “asked me to delete all related posts.”
Harding, a British businessman and explorer, is among an elite group of passengers on the deep-vessel that went missing during the underwater voyage to the Titanic wreckage.
The submersible craft, also referred to as the Titan, dipped beneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday.
According to U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Jamie Frederick, the 21-foot vessel’s breathable air supply could run out as soon as Thursday morning.
