Grammy Award Winner Cardi B Lost a Multi-Million Dollar Call of Duty Contract Due to a “Stupid Decision”

Video games collaborating with superstars are nothing new. Big games like Cyberpunk, Fortnite, Death Stranding, and many more have featured massive Hollywood stars and musical artists before. And Call of Duty is no exception in this field. Massive actors like Jeff Goldblum and Michael Keaton have joined the CoD cast before. 

But this time CoD tried a different approach by asking one of the biggest female rappers, Cardi B for a collaboration. Fans were beyond ecstatic hearing this news. However, Cardi B announced on her Twitter that she has lost the Call of Duty deal because of some “stupid mistakes” of the past.
