DJ Snake has created a mini-remix of Cardi B’s now infamous coronavirus rant.
It comes after the rapper said she wanted an official music video made of a previous viral remix by DJ iMarkkeyz, titled the Cardi B ‘Coronavirus (Sh*t Is Real!)’ Remix.
Cardi B blasts government over coronavirus
The remixes follow Cardi B taking to Instagram last week to share videos showing her ranting about the coronavirus pandemic.
In a first video posted to Instagram on March 11, she expressed her fears about the unexpected outbreak in an expletive-ridden outburst:
“Government lemme tell ya m*****f**king something… I don’t know what this f**k this coronavirus is about. I don’t understand how this s**t was from Wuhan, China, now all of a sudden this s**t is on m*****f**king tour… S**t got me panicking, and a lot of you m*****f**kers think it’s a joke.”
In another video posted on Instagram on March 12, she vents her frustration at the government and wants to know how long the coronavirus pandemic will last:
“Government, government, government… You wanna know something? I know s**t getting real… Is this Coronavirus going to be a couple of weeks type of s**t or a couple of months type of s**t? Let me know so I can start m*****f**king racking up on foods… so a b***h can move to m*****f**king Antarctica.”

The Cardi B remixes add some light relief to the daily stream of negative news stories surrounding coronavirus, which has been causing chaos in the entertainment industry as a whole.
We told earlier today how soap opera Days of Our Lives, as well as The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful have all suspended production.
Meanwhile, we revealed this morning how the cast of Big Brother Germany have no idea about the extent of the coronavirus outbreak around the world — and will be told about the pandemic live on TV tonight.
