Cardi B, who is known for her hit tracks, stunned the attendees of the NBA finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.

As the 33-year-old rapper performed energetically, Charles Barkley passed a comment that left several disappointed.

When the sports commentator spoke about the Grammy winner, the former basketball player stated: “I don’t know if those [are] B’s. That might be Cardi D’s,” which was followed by a laughter from others.

However, the online community did not like the remark and responded intensely, calling him out for the move.

One of the X user severely criticised: “The man is a grown adult on national television reducing a performer to her body like it’s 1995. It’s not funny.”

Another netizen was of the opinion that they have “lost Charles Barkley tonight folks,” while a third noted that the sportsman “lost all composure.”

Earlier, a video of the rapper and her son Wave from the courtside began to make the rounds with many appreciating the bond between mother and son.

Is Cardi B dating?

Meanwhile, Cardi is rumoured to be getting back with Stefon Diggs after they stood closely together at a Mother’s Day event.
