Cardi B was in “literal tears” after learning of a deadly roof collapse at a nightclub in the Dominican Republic.

Following the devastating news, Cardi – who is of Dominican and Trinidadian descent – took to Instagram to post a message on her BG Secret Society channel.
“I’m in literal tears scrolling down my timeline seeing my Dominican people being rescued some wit lives and some gone,” she began, according to a screenshot circulating on social media. “l’m sad seeing families crying desperately in pain looking for love ones… I feel like every Dominican around the world is in a big Hora Santa (holy hour) praying for survivors and praying for the ones that are gone to be in Gods Glory (sic).”
Cardi, real name Belcalis Almánzar, went on to express her hope that the victims didn’t suffer.
“For the people who lost a family or a friend don’t have bad memories they left this earth singing and dancing and most likely happy and enjoying themselves and that’s how the lord will receive them (sic),” the 32-year-old continued.
To conclude, the rapper sent her condolences to the family of Rubby Pérez. The popular merengue singer was among those killed in the tragedy. He was 69.
“Its so heartbreaking to see one of our iconic artist Perez leave in such a tragic way. Im glad tho our final memory of him was him sharing his beautiful voice to us… Sang one last time. I want my fans to pray for those who was in that building last night (sic),” she added.
