Hundreds of people turned out at a public housing complex in Brooklyn for a chance to meet rap superstar Cardi B, who was scheduled to distribute hundreds of coats to families Thursday.
Fans waited more than for four hours outside the Marlboro Houses for a chance to meet the Bronx-born chart topper and to get a coat.
The event was put together by a local designer and friends of the reality-turned-music superstar. Cardi B was scheduled to arrive by 5 p.m. but ended up hours later. She said it was because of a photo shoot, but was happy to meet fans and give away coats and sneakers.
“I said, ‘I’m pulling up, what’s up, I’m in here, let’s go!'” said Cardi B.
Crowds mobbed the rec room inside Marlboro Houses as they lined up. It’s the first time Cardi B has been seen out in the city after turning herself in to police weeks ago following a fight with two bartenders at a strip club in August. But on Thursday night, she was all smiles for those who waited.
