Cardi B's got cabin fever.

Like most of the country, the "Writing On The Wall" rapper has been practicing social distancing amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic by staying indoors. However, like many of us, Cardi is struggling to adjust to the new normal of not leaving one's home, and she wants some answers. So, given her 60+ million followers on Instagram, the Bronx native took to IG Live to chat with her fans about her life under quarantine and to ask those in power "what's really going on?"

"I need to know what's going on," Cardi said while staring directly into the camera. "If you work at the f**king Pentagon, let a b*tch know... I need to know. I don’t know if you can tell, but I’m losing my f**king mind." She added, "I want to get dressed up. I want to put a f**king lacefront on. I want to put on my f**king expensive outfits, and I want to go f**king out... And I can’t!”

As fans know, Cardi has become the voice of coronavirus awareness after DJ iMarkkeyz dropped a remix of an Instagram video where she spoke of her concern about the virus.

"Coronavirus. Coronavirus, sh*t is getting real, sh*t is getting real, sh*t is real," Cardi is heard saying on the viral track.

Since its release, Cardi has reacted to it on social media, telling fans she's in the process of making sure she gets royalties for the record that is being played around the world.
