Netflix’s new satirical documentary Death to 2021 includes a list of celebrities canceled this year, but the film never explains their controversies.
Cardi B was included amidst a slew of celebrities labeled as having been canceled in the satirical Netflix documentary Death to 2021, but the movie fails to explain any of their alleged indiscretions. The film is a follow-up to last year’s Death to 2020, both of which set out to document the events of the year in a humorous light.

She went on Instagram Live and defended herself by saying that she doesn’t want people who don’t take rap seriously thinking it’s easy money.
Her controversy didn’t end there though.
She released an album called Invasion Of Privacy which sold 1 million copies worldwide within 24 hours.
That didn’t stop fans from getting angry about Cardi B’s supposed lackadaisical attitude towards rapping however.
“Where is Cardi B today?”
Cardi B has kept herself busy since being cancelled by starring in movies such as “Hustlers”, “Gotti” (which received negative reviews), “Bartier Cardi” (which received mixed reviews) and “Girls Trip 2”. She also had two
