She went on to urge her fans to try not only the bubble tea but also the tofu pudding, which she suggested could be the secret to Asian longevity.
“That’s why these Asian motherf*ckers, they live long,” the Grammy Award-winning artist professed. “Why would they be reaching like 140 years old? Because… they don’t really use a lot of sugar!”
She goes on to highlight the various ingredients, including red bean, and even recommends it for children.
Meet Fresh took notice of Cardi B’s glowing endorsement and reposted screenshots of the celebrity’s story on Instagram and Weibo, urging customers to “follow Cardi B’s lead.”
Cardi B has previously documented herself sampling various Asian foods on social media, often much to the amusement of fans, including lumpia, kimchi, Peking duck and chicken feet.
