Samyra vs. Old Navy & Cardi B ( round 2)

Samyra is back trending for her plus size inclusive advocacy. As usual she’s rubbing people the wrong way with her antics. She’s targeting Cardi B again with a post questing why Old Navy would collab with her. This got the internet talking so Cardi b makes a response questing why Samyra is messing with her money.

Some praising Samyra for continuing to fight the good fight but some are questioning her motives especially after she dropped a dissed track that some have called out for being a copy and a repeat tactic.

Some people have recognized that Samyra is very talented and truly just wants to do music but relies on social media antics to get noticed. In this video I break down everything. What do you think?
