Detailing the ordeal, Cardi said: “The photographer was trying to get close to me, like, ‘You want to get into this magazine?’. Then he pulled his dick out. I was so fucking mad. I was like, ‘You’re fucking bugging’.”
She added: “You know what’s so crazy, I told the magazine owner and he just looked at me like, ‘So? And?’.
